5 More QB Spotty 2 Ounce Silver Proofs:

(Milky) White Lion

Lion of England

Milk White Horse of Hanover

Red (and White?) Dragon of Wales

Added to the 5 from yesterday, makes 9 spotty ones...

Now to figure out which is the good one! 🙂

So that's a 10% success rate ? Oh dear. Are you able to send them back as a retailer? 

[GoldenGriffin]

I had about 40 oz's of silver bullion and never had a problem with milk spots, they were perfect, even after having them for a few years.

They were bullion!!

We're talking about high premium proof coins here.

In my view, the Queen's Beasts series is the best new release out there.

Why would the RM let this really special series down?  It doesn't make sense to me?

Quality control on holiday?

Isolating?

I just hope they can sort it out and ensure the blanks are treated properly and quality checked before releasing back out.

I hope it all works out for those that have ordered a silver proof set and have experienced issues.

10%? Perhaps we missed something.

This is a set I bought privately.

I already have a returns label.

Isn't it a 100% failure rate Lawrence? 10/10 terrible ones?

Ah sorry thought you were talking about sets not individual coins!

Next RM Coin Design 101 Dalmations?

That would knock the spots off all the other mints.

Spot the ball.

Where do we draw the line on the RM's total incompetence to get these sets out to their customers in the condition that we expect....its a total disgrace and piss take that they can send out these sets in awful condition....its time to take action...and all get together to draft a paper with signatures on at the state of their sets and send it off backed by all the photos and box's that have been sent (BYB) and demand an explanation for these continuous  problems..!!!!

I never saw coins from this period with milk spots. Maybe some with blood and flesh from a lost fingertip. But no milk spots.

I have a good friend, this QB set was his first ever Proof set purchase and he has had to return it - full of milk spots and the beard shavings (thats what it looks like anyway) INSIDE the capsules. He said to me he is very unimpressed and has been put off so much by the RM that he probably won't buy again.

That's a real shame.

This is the sort of thing that needs to happen though I think before they actually change anything. I'm in the same boat. I've bought no silver this year apart from your lovely SF bars so have been spending more with the RM including buying my first ever gold proof coins from them. The problems I had though with my last one of those mean I'm not likely to order anything again from them anytime soon. Other mints don't seem to have the same issues with their proof lines. More of us need to vote with our wallets and stop giving the RM our hard earned cash until they sort their sh!t out

No, it's 9/10, I couldn't count!

I blame the spots before my eyes! 🙂

It doesn't bode well for the replacement set that I am hoping will arrive today.

You definitely don't want my old one! Stupidly I thought I took a photo of my COA before I sent it back, in fact I am certain I did. Can't find it anywhere. My faculties clearly aren't what they once were !

I would expect the RM to re-use the existing certificates, otherwise there is a risk of duplicates, or numbers higher than the issue limit.

I think it might have been 167 but not 100%. Let's see what comes back if it comes back at all! With the despatch emails not working, who knows!

[FlorinCollector]

I don’t know what i’m waiting for. They have my money. They also have the coins and have updated my closed order with -1 to show 1 return like they usually do. Might phone later because ive had no update.

Just rechecked my orders. I have a closed one with the -1. I have a normal looking open order, placed on Monday.

I was expecting it to arrive yesterday or today on the basis of two people at the Mint saying it will be dispatched Monday or Tuesday.

However with the lack of despatch emails, who knows.

However now I can see that open order I am doubting whether it's been dispatched yet.

If waiting longer means I will get a better replacement then happy to wait as long as it takes.

But, ultimately, no refund, no despatch email I have no idea what's actually happening!
