Looks awful, I’ll just try to pickup the 2oz gold 😂 

Some of the smaller dealers don’t accept returns. You may be able negotiate a cancellation if coin is not dispatched from dealer and you have confirmed RM order. Dealer may be happy to resell again for even more. 

I’m in Scotland and get DHL for the more expensive orders. We are on the periphery so they use a subcontractor for the last leg of the journey. 

getting like the last part here lol

Has Her Maj been on a recent trip to Glasgow?

It's really getting to the price where I might buy them all 😉

100% agree. Having skin in the game with this one I’m really hoping this is the only issue of a SOTD plain edge matte sovereign with the special reverse. Nice low mintage compared to the proof and would clearly do wonders for its future collectibility. 
Though saying that, what’s the usual number of SOTD Sovereign releases per year that we have seen recently? 2/3?
Theres probably more chance of my child’s rocking horse taking a s**t than the RM only releasing one SOTD Sov this year.

Do you have a link with further info?
Westminstrel found this a few months ago. 

Just got this general flyer through the mail today. FFS , they must be marketing the whole country as we are right on the periphery. 

Just got home to this😊. My 1st platinum coin. Surprised there hasn’t been many more platinum metal coins in a platinum jubilee year. Maybe there are more coming but didn’t want to take the chance

Minor imperfections, not sure if it would affect grading if going down that route. I would suggest putting on sale here for cost plus £100 if not happy. Chances of a replacement from the mint are low I would think. That way someone else can appreciate the coin. 

I think thats fair enough, but I imagine the vast majority of us, regardless of out respective nett worth collect within a range of affordability. I think for most of us a £5k gold coin is either unaffordable or a serious investment. If that coin never really changed much in value those who could afford it would likely be happy to hold and enjoy. But if that coin becomes worth 20k that collector needs to seriously ask themselves is it worth 20k to me, would I buy it for 20k, could I afford to buy it for 20k, do I want a 20k coin in my collection, etc. If the answer is no to any of those questions then I think its time to sell to someone who will answer yes to one or more and everyone moves on, the seller happy they had one for a while and isnnow able to buy stuff that suita their affordability and the buyer enjoying their valuable collection. 
Dont get me wrong, there a handfull that have just come in to the market as they see rhe margins, but i have no issue with them as to be successful they need to do a lot of research first. I also genuinely don’t think they refelct the majority of what alot of people here and elsewhere are grouping as ‘flippers’

For some a £260 outlay, especially this time of year is a hard period to keep cash locked up, never mind holding out until March or whenever  they will have another outlay for the portrait. . The hype has been quite high with these, I suspect some folk blocking collectors out the RM QIT system will be the same folks flipping trainers or whatever is hot. 

Fair enough, I was a little confused by your reaction but I can see why the constant bemoaning of flipping is tiresome. To an extent I agree we are probably all flippers in the long term with something so I'm certainly not against making a profit, it's just dissapointing to see people here denied a chance to own something that would have meaning to them while seeing items on ebay within minutes of the sale ending.
 I may have been a tad snarky at the end though which was possibly uncalled for and did get me a telling off which was fair enough

Didn’t see any snarky comments in the post you copied, just someone’s synopsis of the current situation.
Woops, just reread the last paragraph, retract the above!

Independent retailers should be made to evidence they have sold on at a reasonable price on the release date IMHO

Don't forget about all the coins that are still at the graders.  I have a feeling that quite a number of dealers did not put their initial allocations on the market but sent them straight off for grading.  When all these hit the market, it may be more difficult to sell ungraded examples - hence maybe the reason the flippers are selling and why the prices have fallen from their initial dizzying heights.

I think you will get the standard blurb from the mint but be wary. If you decide to return include a letter with the coin stipulating the coin is your property and if they cannot replace you want it returned.
If you decide to sell in the end send me a PM.

Hehe
I think these will do v well at 1200 mintage. Very few will be able to get from the mint who want them. 

PF. It is a Proof coin with a matte finish.
EDIT: My mistake. I did a quick Google and it looks like these matte proofs are assigned MS and not PF.  I never realized this because I don’t care much about grading.
