Thanks Solachesis, they’re really quite beautiful!

Just ordered single and three coin set from BCC. That makes single sov and three coin set for the jubilee, memorial and coronoation. Happy with that 😊

Thanks for all the love people! 😊

You still got this Spence?

Hi all. Two Greek Drachmai gold coins for sale. Both celebrating the 1981 paneuropean games. They are described on the COAs as ‘proof’ though not sure if they’re true proof, so I feel better describing them as BU 😊Prices not like the Royal Mint for their so called ‘proofs’ - price here much closer to spot, and probably much better quality! 😊 x1 2500 Drachmai - 6.45g - £410 x1 5000 Drachmai - 12.5g - £775 PPFF/BT only, buyer’s choice of postage to be added. Any questions, please do ask!

I’ve had similar problems with my three coin set from them - quarter is fine but half and full both got a lot of frosting damage! Options I have been given are refund or can return the set and wait for more stock, but no date given as to when that will be. I was under impression Chards quality checked all products before sending…?

There is a picture of the package being handed to someone, so there is evidence that it was received by someone at least!

I know right! I called Royal Mint this morning - they are escalating and will come up with a plan given the high value of the delivery. I expect they’ll pay for DHL to go and collect the parcel or something, so it will be interesting if DHL turn up and the owner of the house says ‘package? What package?’ 😂

So here’s something to add to Royal Mint’s impeccable record sheet…I returned the 5 coin set and got an email that it had been received. Then got another email saying a replacement had been dispatched - fab I thought. I then get a text from DHL, though the address it’s going to is an *old* address of mine that still must be on the RM system. Note, this was *not* the address the 5coin set originally came to (!). Phone call to RM this morn- they got in touch with DHL and said they would redirect the parcel - fab I thought. Just clicked to track the package…says package was delivered with a picture of it being handed over to some person…and guess what, that person is not me 🙃 Email sent back to RM just now saying can they get in touch with DHL ASAP to sort this, otherwise it is going to be a very expensive situation for them to put right!!

No worries - quarter and half seem OK, but full, double and 5 all have defects - unbelievable! For example, here‘s the full…

Sorry Chris my set has a damaged full too, otherwise I would have done this for you as my five set is going back!

Not impressed with mine either - 3/5 coins damaged. Full sov is the worst - and I’ve noticed that the damage on some of the coins I have is similar to others - black marks/missing frosting on the horse’s body. Will be returning. My COA is 1168 for reference 😂
