just received one of my order today, yea great privy marks and mint marks ...+ extra mint marks ...........hence return 

Bad luck. Proofs must be...well.....proofs ! Better luck with the replacement...you would think they would check more carefully...or if they did, then they package them and send them with more care.

Sorry to hear about that as @shawy2510   says quite an inefficient process and it really spoils your enjoyment. 

What happens when they call you - do this ensure you get a good coin? 

Just a bit of customer service

Second Half sovereign is being delivered tomorrow, Fingers crossed its a good one.

[fehk2001]

That's quick , so not really 7-10 working days

No I ordered another to get it quick as I want it sending with Numi before the deadline. The 1st I have sent back with a refund marked so essentially I have paid for 2 until the 1st gets refunded

yes if u tell them u are buying gold and u clear your balance off monthly .... because you have good credit rating they  want you to borrow more until you can't pay off

A picture from @LewisRichards of the full sovereign. If it wasn't for the anorexic St George... a quite nice coin. This way it looks like one of those chinese fakes 

[airmac]

Did they mayby outsource to China?

Mine arrived today and I didn't want it. I cancelled my annual auto purchase last year but when I phoned today they said they were running a new IT system so it didn't register. The crap thing is the coin is perfect, where as in the past the the coins I actually wanted from them have mostly been damaged and took several attempts to get good ones.

I have just pinged an email off to The Royal Mint asking them if they will be celebrating the Queen's 66th,67th,68th and 69th years on the throne on a sovereign coin or wait until The Queen makes it to 70 years on the throne. Will take at least a week to get a reply so don't hold your breath.

 

 

Faster than expected because............easy reply. They don't know..............yet.

 

Hello

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

 

Unfortunately, we have no details to provide at the moment. May I ask that you contact us later in the new year for further information on future releases.

 

I am sorry that I cannot be of any assistance at this time.

 

With kind regards

BUY ONE MORE, SLAB ONE 

[Oldun]

It seems you feel strongly about buying two.

What about those who buy just the one? Any advice?
