Now I’ve looked there are marks on the obverse too. Under the ‘G’ and REG. 

Here’s my gothic portrait. Funny how my phones tries to autocorrect to gotcha! 
 

My only issue is with tiny piece of the frosting, at the very top of the right hand side of her braid. A very small dot is present, different to the rest. 
 

What do you guys think? Would this affect a grading? 
 

I have been waiting 2 months for them to send a paid returns form via email- they really are in a poor state at the mint right now. I don’t see how that is the consumers issue though, they shouldn’t have released so many coins so close together if they cannot handle it.

@BackyardBullion what do you think mate? Return?

Brill...I'd stick with and always have bought  sovreigns...instead of being caught up in new inferior releases in mainly poor condition you can never go wrong with Gold sovs. I realise the appeal of all these new releases of QA's and Portaits..I only mention them as they are the most recent releases..but when you read the threads on here....still waiting for coins... members have purchased last year..then receiving their coins with dents,scratches,frosting missing,loose capsuals that have possibly damaged their coins..boxes in terrible condition as so on...not to mention queues,missing out on these releases...is it really worth the hassle of continously returning inferior coins..waiting months for their delivery when other coins are being released and delivered before the coins they purchased havnt arrived..I could go on....and on....its a COMPLETE FAILURE on the RM'S part..But saying that so many members who i wont mention....still defend them and compare them to sliced bread...(If you know what im referring too)..but don't take my word for it...the evidence is in the threads,complaints,frustration at not receiving their coins that they paid for 3,4 months ago...UNBELIEVABLE!!! All I'm saying is....spend your money on Gold Sovs from any century..you will get a coin without outrageous premiums...and will not have the Sky-high stress waiting for these high premium new released silver coins and Gold,not so much of a premium on Gold..but hard to buy on the day of release....its just my opinion and take it with a pinch of salt...but now....I only buy Gold...Silver proofs are too much of a gamble and you just don't know what condition your coin is going to arrive in...50/50 and I'm being Conservative that it's going to be 'PROOF'...no dents,scratches,spotting,loose capsuals and damaged boxes.......'You do the math'....

🙂🙂🙂

P.s...I realy dont understand a certain well know member that must be in bed with the RM.....it doesn't matter what condition his coins arrive in...he will never say anything bad..or should I say..not so bad and always understands the pressure the RM are under and forgives there incompetence every time he receives an inferior minted release!!!that he hardly has a bad word to say against them.....?

1. It's the fact he has an account manager and doesn't want to P**s him off because he wants to stay on his account managers good side for future pre sales info......or he lives on a different Planet and is scared to tell the truth and how he feels..just hiding away in a corner and receiving first dobs on new releases..

Again just my opinion..I have no proof...but I go with my gut feeling...and information I receive from others who think the same as me......🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

...

Are you using Morse code? why so many .'s?

...

No point unless you have serious dough to spend? I Fancy a look at the catalogue just to dream...

I like this design, hopefully a strong series here coinsters

Found it! Its the St James House Company. Some lovely bits of silver here. Still don't know re the foreign mark

well i can confimr it was not a VIP only offering, i have a bog standard account and i got mine because I got out of my bed early on a monday morning, made myself a cup of tea and sat at my bloody computer waiting for the site to open and i was successful so i was then offered the 2nd one as i'd bought the first one. and the lady at the RM was fantastic!! 

Bravo Gordy! 

Dear all, can anyone help me identify these hall marks and the makers name? Picked them up in a charity shop recently

Love the coin

HATE THE QUALITY

Honestly, how does this happen over and over and over again.

ALSO - CAPSULE OPEN ON DELIVERY.

I would ask anyone else out there if you get something like this please send me the images as I intend to send an email to Anne Jessop and the Head of Customer Services a collection of all these issues for their immediate attention.

mine has very slight mark on the braid.. otherwise ok

You are all just being trolled at this point.

Thread muted, lest its content infect.

slight issue with the frosting right side of her braid, directly underneath the crown

Wow - Lawrence you put that in writing - in public - on a social media forum, criticizing and mocking the Royal Mint.

 

And confirmed that you have no direct relationship with the RM, the point of my post

So when I buy from you any Gothic Crowns for example have gone through a few middle men? Who bought them first from the RM 

- and you mocked the ethics of the Royal Mint........ in public........

Who do you buy your Gothic Crowns from Lawrence?  I imagine RM 'might' will like to find out 😉 

 

Quote: "Also, the Royal Mint do not have a direct trading relationship with @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer, because they currently don't meet our ethical standards."

 

I will be sure to let the Royal Mint know about what you think of the Royal Mint in the morning (with screenshots)

The Royal Mint's  Chief Marketing Officer is  Caroline Webb

https://www.royalmint.com/aboutus/people/executive-management-team/

- I will send her an email in the morning.

 

I'm sure she will be fascinated with your thought - mocking the RM brand and ethics in  a public social media forum

I wonder if she will decide to investigate how you get Gothic Crowns for sale, and put a stop to it.

I would, in her shoes..

 

You would appear to have made a very silly business decision with that comment..!

 

The butthurt is so strong with this one. Its only the internet Barry, Barry the marketing whizz that cannot spell.

No - I got the coin, ripped of by dealer and they had misrepresented themselves and their relationship with Proof and bullion suppliers -

- but I have made that very clear - who are you anonymous person on the internet - do you have a vested interest? 

You made your own decision.... yawn

No one is forcing anyone to buy it

The OP seems a bit salty, did they miss out. Hard luck chum. We live in a free country and grading exists whether you like it or not. No sure this is the game for you. Say goodbye to the Royal Mint? ha, no chance. Plenty of people to take your place and you will not be missed.

There is no such thing as a fair launch

Gothic portrait dispatched 

Anyone fancy this two coin set released as well today? Not mad on the Canadian one but at least it wont spot.

The UK one is lovely

Keep refreshing lads there may be a chance

I am 2400, but managed to snag one anyway.

Only issue is, I also had to buy the military set from another thread as it was in my basket and I couldn't take it out. 90 odd quid more than I wanted to spend.

backdoor?

good luck to all with a small queue number! im 1700

still no number
