i wouldn't put it past RM to do a SOTD come 2 June 2023 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of QEII's coronation. 

They will do that as they did it previously. There is a 2018 sotd for this.

Send to Ncs and they will get rid of it.

Damn.... That's a poor design.

I should think so

please tell me thats a mock up and not actually what its gonna look like....  

If they are silver I wouldn't risk it. Should be find with gold though.

Seeing more and more of this. I have 2 with the burn.

When I spoke to NGC on Friday they recon the damage could be caused by the flips splitting and the rubber bands they use contacting the coins, then the chemicals in the band's being the issue. It would kinda make sense as the damage is usually the same size on all coins.

I'm doing a rubber band test on a bullion silver coin to see if I can get it to happen. So if grading I'd say send in a capsule from now on just in case.

On nice, if they are doing them I'll get a graces and gothic to go with the Una bar. Thanks.

Have they confirmed they are doing them?

They still charge for conservation fee for analysis even if your coin isn't conserved... As far as I know

Not true. You only get charged if they conserve it.

As the coin is in a holder graded 70, then burning must have happened after grading?

That's my thinking too, I'll bring it up with NGC cos I'm far from impressed.

Spotted on bookface earlier. More mysterious 'burning' issues with silver sent to ngc(copied and pasted)

" Well... the burn has returned. 2 different gothic crowns sent to NGC, both have the same "burn" mark on them in different places, that wasn't there before sending, one a portrait and one an arms.
That's me done sending silver to NGC for grading now, 2 coins now worthless (one is a 70 grade too lol!) " 

 

Those are my coins. Very frustrating.

Nice grade shame about the size of the slab

Yeah they kinda need a middle ground with some of these. Could be worse, could be the 5oz gold in the same size slab, they look really small.

My portrait 5oz silver just got a pf70, so that's something I guess. Lovely coin but will get sold too.

I'd be surprised if these even had NCS, none of my graces or gothics had NCS as it wasn't needed. I always ask for it just in case but it rarely gets done on moderns from experience.

That may be bullion, they are 2022 with the new designs . Cos they don't change the bullion one so that would be my guess is what that quote is from.

Do you know, why the gazzette announcement says, that there could be a 2 OZ Britannia in different ages, OR the 2021 2 OZ Britannia with lion?

One has 3 women on which is the 3 ages, the other has a woman with a shield with a lion on.... Maybe that's it.

So that there will be Ordinary n Premium versions like prior year?

I don't have all the details but something like that yes. 2 versions, different sizes in gold , silver and platinum.

@terakris Thanks for the info. Are the designs already available to view then?

Not generally yet. One has 3 women on and the other is the typical single woman on. The 3 woman one looks particular weak in design imho.

Anyone have any idea when this will be released? Thanks.

8th march I've heard.

The designs are pants though imho.

I sent my gold 2oz portrait back as it looked like a dog had chewed it and was told it was acceptable condition so took the refund instead. Kinda left a sour taste in my mouth so gonna rage-quit and sell the others I have. Shame as I had matching low coa numbers on the golds.

Its stupid I am still waiting on both my 5oz Gothics...

I think my 5oz portrait has been dispatched , despite still waiting for the arms version... crazy.

I'm just in the process of sending my 2oz gold portrait back due to quality issues. and my 2oz gold arms got a 69 grade, so not much luck with this series for me.
