2 oz Queens Beast quality?

[MoralHazard]

Hi guys

I am just asking the forum that what is the general perception currently about the QB 2 oz coins manufacturing quality? I am planning to make a sizeable purchase of full mint sealed rolls from Eurooean Mint and want to know in advance what to expect
 

I do not know is it about luck but my empirical experience is that Royal Mint has improved quality at least in the gold version of 1 oz QB’s. For example I have not encountered very beaten coins that were pretty normal at the start of the series with lion and griffin.

How do you see this yourself?

A friend bought a box of the white lions recently from GSBE. Over half had milk spots already.

The 2oz queens beasts are supplied in tubes as far as I am aware.  Sealed rolls???

They are loose (stacked on top of each other) in the tube.  No capsules.  They are classed as standard bullion with unlimited mintage.

Expect some minor scratches and dings.

If you want mint examples you have to purchase from RM as they supply them singular in capsules, or be plain lucky.

I bought two rolls of the Yale, and was VERY pleased with the quality therein. No scratches, even hairline like the singles you buy.

in my experience they are very good. the early ones seem to suffer from slight scratches due to tube contact but the latter ones not so much.

These show off some of the problems they have, even when stored in airtites.

Milk spots, scratches and dents on the rim.

I personally think the quality is very good when it comes to bullion grade coins, but it could also be my expectations are not very high.  In any case, I like them very much 🙂.  

It might be worthwhile to investigate the "mint sealed rolls" claim further.  I've purchased many of these coins, and tubes bought direct from Royal Mint Bullion were not sealed in any way.  I also seen a Queen's Beasts monster box (these boxes have very nice beast-specific labels by the way), and the box itself was sealed shut with plastic straps, and none of the tubes inside were sealed.  The sealing of the tubes might be done by the dealer, rather than the mint...not that this is necessarily bad.  I know APMEX sells some sealed tubes (called MintDirect), and does the sealing themselves.  I personally would not pay more to have them sealed.  Here is an example:
