Marks from the catfight with Meghan Markle or signs of a stroke from when she watch p. Andrews interview.

 

 

 

 

 

Kidding aside,

You receive someone else return, this is common with low mintage items that are sold out.

This is so unprofessional specially that he insisted twice to get a perfect coin and gave them the remark that the last coin may be defective because the capsule wasn't closed well by them .What to do in this case ? The coin in the market is getting higher and higher, by asking for a refund I think they will only give back the paid  amount  which is a big loss .

Silver PF70 I linked to a few days ago sold today for the equivalent of £1,955 less 10% fees. Buyer paid £1,955. Seller got just shy of £1,800

Considering strong market prices for the Una, I would keep it

[Bxlsteve]

Unfortunately my personal belief is he should keep it. Not because it is a great example, but because he will not get another one at this price point. 
 

the RM knows this very well. 

if he sells it he will make more money than just asking for cash-back. 
 

so sell this piece, and buy yourself one of your preference... or keep this piece ... and try to be happy with it.

i know this sounds pretty awful and it is... but you won’t have another option... I think they will not make a new one who is perfect. Even if your entitled to it. 

[daca]

@Heliopolis  Sadly I have to agree with @Bxlsteve you will not get a new perfect item.

What I don't understand is how this coin pass quality check.

If quality controls where that good and exceptional... there would only be PF70 and no need of slabbing and grading proof coins. 
 

unfortunatly... this is not the case... 

[daca]

RM should have done a better quality check for the premium paid - £180.00/coin versus £30-35 PM content.

I know  there are other cost added, labor ......... etc, however the premium in this case is crazy .

Although you sold in the end, a deal was a deal and they buyer is 5k short. 

Not impressed at all with the buyer especially after assuring you no problems will arise. Whether he was genuine about this 'partner' (personally I think BS) only he will know. 

Still made good money but business is business and 5k is a lot of money. Glad you got the sale and shared this story. The lesson I have taken from here when selling anything would be to get a deposit in order to use as collateral. 

Nice guy and all - gets you no where.

It's cut throat out there and it's every man for themselves.

Congrats on the sale and also I like the fact the sale was international and a trip was made out of it. 

 

 

 

Can't see myself attending any of these Silver Forum meet ups then. Go anywhere near those doughnuts and lose 8 pints of blood.

[Tn21]

Well you do so according to your appetite for risk. 

I went for doughnuts twice, fortunately still here able to tell you this. 

[goldmember44]

@Heliopolis no kidding, that coin doesn't look the best However I wonder if NCS conservation could improve its fortunes.... maybe worth a try?

[goldmember44]

The moral of the story is... try to get a coin early on in its release, if possible... leaving enough room for exchange if at fault. But for rapidly selling limited releases, there's not much you can do, other than crossing your fingers I guess.

Probably his best option. Although, knowing NGC I'm sure this will get a PF70 easy the way it is 😁
