You might well have seen the latter design - the 2016 Last Round Pound...

 

Absolutely love the design on that coin

Miss the round pound, the new ones are shiťe.

I used to stack my old pound coins up pretending they were gold when I was a young kid *foreshadowing*.

As a young man I used to see an old pound coin and it'd take me back, I remember as a kid I used to keep the thistle ones for my dad because they were Scottish like him. Ahh those were the days.. hang on.. that **** probably owes me a load of money!

Compare it with the first £1 - 1983 Piedfort. Unfortunately the round pounds were too easy to fake!……

[PapaLazarou]

Numismatic trivia - the 1983  silver £1 coin is, afaik, the only RM coin for which the CoA was the same for both the standard thickness and Piedfort coins.

Same.  When I first saw the dragon design, I wasn't too keen.  But like all the Tudor Beasts, especially the P+RP sets, they are really nice in the metal.

What do you think happened to the ones you returned? Repackaged and sent back out to someone else? 🤔 or restruck and originals destroyed?

Only those in the know at RM will... er... know.

Since they sent them out before, then really there isn't anything preventing them from selling them again.  They obviously met their quality control standards the first time, however low they may be, so they could simply inspect them again for any additional damage caused by the extra round trip.

The replacements have invariably, in my experience, been better than the originals.  So who knows?

Imagine if someone else on here complained about their coin, and the damage was identical, having ordered after you returned it. 😆

Has anyone any inkling as to when the bullion are coming out? Getting a bit steep to get 3 x 1/4 every time, especially going forward for the next few years.🚀🌙. Nice problem of course👍

Was always usually a moth to 6 weeks max after launch of proofs.

Just received this 5oz silver Zodiac coin direct from the Perth Mint.

Very straight forward ordering and amazing quality.

Only slight problem is the FedEx delivery guy forgot to charge me the import duty.

Not sure what to do about the 20% import duty shall I send it direct to Jeremy Hunt at number 11?
