Does this make it more valuable @sovereignsteve or is this quite common?

Not in my eyes but some people do mention these things in ebay listings. In essence it's a production flaw but some people like such things. If yours affects all letters and numbers, it's quite rare to see. Usually it's just a few consecutive letters that are doubled, I really can't get my head around how that happens. They aren't rare but not exactly common either.

I bought au58 for £350 2 days ago wich is near what you pay for a good grade one ,

Not sure what you mean by this. I wouldn't have thought £350 for a AU58 1871 sov is particularly cheap, or are you saying that's expensive.

Bought the outlaws of the marsh first in the series to go with my dream of red chamber series.Bought this set which I was going to grade until I found the full sets already graded..by that time it was too late to cancel.although the seller did offer me a return but I'll keep..

I meant if his coin gets au58 won't add much value to it (cost of grading)

That looks absolutely brilliant! May I ask where you got this precious piece? Good catch, mate! ;-)

All the the writing on the right hand side of the Queen is like this.

A 1888 Alfonso xiii five peseta coin. 

Some fairly average condition crowns.

Thanks for your concern@shortstack68 I have had a good look at the coin & there is no spotting visible I don't know what that is but it is not on the coin.

Not so sure, it was your cert number i've dowloaded and it's definitely milking

Well why ask then, as I said I'm not concerned why are you so bothered.

It's not like any milking I've ever seen. Perhaps it's a smudge on the plastic that's catching the light? there seem to be a lot of surface makes on the slab that are quite noticable on the photo.

@sovereignsteve Hi Steve I guess that is what it must have been, but as I have already said, it is categorically not on the coin,I have looked at the 2 RRs under the microscope at 45x magnification & it has no spotting or smudge & I'm happy with the coin.

Those silver Krugs do milk, alas - I've just packaged two up for return (or I'd take photos) but they were both very obvious perfectly round spots.

Are these the "returns" you are returning?

Not for the biggest spot offenders - they were two brand new ones from Westminster (sealed). But I'm also sending back two replacements from CP (one with a small milk spot but every sign of developing further, the other because it has a knick in it - I thought it was OK-ish but a closer look told me otherwise).

Just mulling over whether to return 2 X of my replacements to coin portfolio. Not sure after all this fiasco whether I want to continue or just get a refund. 

Whats your take on these coins value in say 6/12 months time?

@Oystonout no idea buddy, let's continue the discussion on the dedicated thread though aye, rather than clogging up this one when folk are posting the beautiful coins they've received

[Oystonousted]

Oops thought I was posting on the other thread.
