    It is a lovely piece and I was in luck that at that moment you wanted the Libertad more than anything...

     
    I still marvel those Drijfhout & Zoon bars you had for sale once 🥰

    1648 Liondollar MS63 with an interesting planchet flaw (reverse is slightly rotated)

    To be honest, that's how all my coins from the Royal Mint have come so far. Scratches, dings and damaged frosting. Silver and platinum worst but also gold. So far I have changed every coin at least once...

    So after people in all time zones had a chance to mull over this I'm resolving the mystery. I didn't manage to get a box with two quintuple sovereigns but I managed to get two quintuple sovereigns in a box. It's the Royal Mint "The Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilees UZ £5 Coin Set". 34/60 so the box is rarer than the coins... and the original owner must have graded his coins with no further use for it.

    Finally received my two quintuple sovereigns. This time double bubble envelopes as packaging.

    My Britannias have arrived:

    Crown gold and Britannia silver

    In in the end I decided to celebrate the 30th gold Britannia anniversary with a 30 year old gold coin and the 20th silver Britannia anniversary with a 20 year old silver coin. Happy Birthday Britannia!

    Having this sort of packaging in the UK is kind of unheard. While I was expecting the quintuple BU to arrive I was even more pleased to see that finally the unicorn has full frosting, no lip gloss and is pretty much perfect.

    It seems that the Royal Mint is listening to you guys!
    I received this huge parcel and thought I might receive several coins...

    Wow 1oz gold in a silver frame. And smooth transition of the design across the coin

    Could that be a hair imprinted? Scratch that straight across frosted relief and polished surface would be hard to produce otherwise...
    I haven't seen BU or proof production at the Royal Mint. Only how a 999.9 gold coin with protruding inscription is grabbed with metal prongs
     
    having had lint impressions on my first queens beast silver proof, a similar "hairline" on my queens beast gold proof I doubt that Royal Mint operates in an environment like a computer chip manufacturer. 
     
    The job description must be: put a sticker on the box

    Can you do a group picture with all the other 1oz gold beasts?

    Toldya the 5oz is a high relief strike – not comparable to the gold or 1oz silver. You enjoy ?

    2 full tubes of Beasts from the group order, courtesy of BackyardBullion 
    and the new Lion Dollar proof. Thanks for the heads up in this thread from @Lindeman as this was the last 1oz proof at the Mint. Anyone considering to buy at the Royal Dutch Mint: only gold proof and silver piedfort proof remain.

    Does the reverse have cannons, flags and palm by any chance?

    A stunning quality dragon. With all the shortcomings at the Royal Mint, this one is definitely worth its PF70. The picture actually doesn't do it justice. Thanks @Skelator88
