Queens beasts set

[CollectorNo1]

Well......thats massive BS as alot of people who sent their QB's sets back got a replacement  which was someone else's set that they returned to the RM!!

But I have heard that now some are being re-struck so maybe because so many were returned they are going to re-strike the whole 300 sets..

Just a heads up.... After purchasing an item from RM I got an email from Feefo for a “Review your recent experience with The Royal Mint”...

As I had issues with quality control, I responded accordingly with notes about disappointment and quality control etc. Minimum rating was set at 1* (Bad) and I subsequently rated all previous question accordingly, however when the next question came up about what I liked about the coin, I was honest and rated the particular coin design as 5*

On checking the comments after completion, Feefo’s website listed my review as 5* based on just one comment !!!!!! 🤬.

Please make sure if you do a review, make everything 1* to reflect your actual comments if service has been poor.

Surely 1 star across the board becomes 5 star!?

5 comments, 1 star each = 5 star (5 x 1)?

A weighting added possibly, weighted more towards design?

Sadly, wouldn't suprise me.

It's what you call marketing engineering - the RM know you wanted the coin because of it's design and know you'll score it highly, so the overall score will be weighted to towards the design.

Clever eh!

And doesn't hurt the RM's reputation in the process! In-fact it makes their reputation most reputable! 😋

Wait what? Never mind differential weighting, a simple average (equal weighting) would result in a 1 star.

(5 x 1) / 5 = 1

It’s weird what Feefo did for sure. 

[GoldDiggerDave]

I still have not heard anything about my 2 silver sets and 2oz silver completer. 
it’s not been cancelled so will have to see if it turns up mid August.  
 

it would be easier to offer us TSF a click and collect service, it would only need one of us there to check off the sets for other members.  How about TSF QC sticker!

Sorry mate, I was being facetious. 😊

Yeah, I agree, very weird.

Andrew’s boring but interesting fact #1: the word ‘facetious’ is the only word in the English language that contains all the vowels, in the correct order, once.

Well if you want to get your opinion about this or anything.....TRUSTPILOT is a good forum.

My apologies to you then. I was taking things a bit too seriously. 😅

Good link; actually marginally cheaper than the RM I think, after taking VAT etc into account. 

[Chrisplym]

They are of course no longer available on the Royal Mint website, but it is showing a price of £360.

[Shell]

£420? This was £180 on the RM site. Would have snapped it up😠🤬😠🤬😠

[CollectorNo1]

It's a very nice set.....But with all the problems with the 2oz set mintage 300....its a gamble whether you get a "Proof set" with no scratches,milkspots etc....I would like to own one...but own one in "Proof condition" as advertised by the RM.

I'd be on it likes Bee's on honey..but with the inferior products and quality control from the RM...I'd rather keep my cash and invest in some Gold or sovreigns...until the RM can sort out their quality of coins for the high prices they are offering..I'm keeping a wide berth from all proof sets from the RM..But that's just my opinion......

Regards

I would be having that 1 they have, if I hadn't had the 2oz set.

I think it speaks volumes that they have been listed now for a couple of days at least and are still available. They flew out the door on release and a major dealer has a very reasonably priced set available - logically you would think they would be snapped up.

Has everybody who really wants a set got one - probably not (myself included). Are people willing to risk it given the problems with this set, I'm not. It's a shame because it a beautiful set, but fool me once- shame on you, fool me twice - shame on me as an ex president tried to say!

I wonder @LawrenceChard is the set brand new, a return to RM or a private purchase Chards have made? Obviously I am not casting any aspersions and respect the right not to answer. I'm just intrigued!

I'm sure it will sell, but a little surprised that it hasn't done so already.

[CollectorNo1]

After the debacle of the 2oz sets I personally would steer clear...I would like to know after all the returns and replacements if anyone actually received a set without any problems??

[SilverJacks]

I’m intrigued to know if @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer put the sets, and other RM proofs such as the completer, through any QC of their own? Or are they sold “as is” without opening them?
