Queens beasts set

[Jeffers46]

I had just got my returns label from the mint, when my set sold on eBay. I advertised that the set had spots in my listing, mentioned it again when exchanging offers and then messaged the buyer afterward saying that the set had milk spots. I feel like they know what they are getting!

Replacement 1/4 silver set came today.

No apparent issues. Not a beard shaving in sight. Well, at least not inside the capsules.

I think RM may be watching @BackyardBullion reviews.

credit where it’s due, I’m really pleased with it.

My replacement QB 1/4 silver set arrived today, was all looking fairly good until I inspected the final coin!

Have returned for a refund, no more proof coins for me.

Mine was also without issues, that's not to say I do not remain wary of the Royal Mint, but since I'm not a flipper, therefore my purchases are much less than some.

Such a shame....when will they wake up n get it right....

@supes That's such a shame, the griffin is easily one of the best also. 

That is a large gouge at 2 o clock? not just a fibre?

Looks like a deliberate gouge to me.

Definitely a bad mark, but i'm not sure if it is worth a return. If it is just that, i would hold it. You are not buying a PF70 set and that's not a really major problem, like spots on 80% of your coins. It's not good, to let such a coin throgh QC, but for one mark on a 1/4 OZ coin of a ten coin set returning it? I think, i wouldn't do it.

If the others are OK.. maybe ask the RM if they can replace just the one coin..it does look like someone has mishandled it,maybe dropped something on it..deffinatly doesn't look like a minting error but a human error..

Yes, was definitely a gouge. I'm just fed up with all the issues I've had with almost everything I've had from the RM.

I looked at my QB 1oz silver proof ‘completer’ coin the other day, only to discover it now has loads of milk spots!

Same here with 1oz and 2oz proof silver completers. I've sent them for grading + conservation in the hope that helps them grade ok. I'll let you know how that works out but I'm hoping for the best...

The way I see it, It's still a decent buy at RRP. Plenty of people have bought at high secondary market price and they will have the milk spots show up at some point too.

You guys are making me paranoid lol, I've just looked at my 2oz silver proof completer & am pleased to say it has zero spots, I think I'll grade it sometime to go with the 2oz graded Bu I'm looking for.

It would be nice if everyone could just accept milk spots as par-for-the-course and therefor make no difference to grade or value. Premium silver would be much less stressful...

In an ideal world, it would be a bonus, like colourful toning. The milkier the better. You could even have special slab labels with milk bottles, or the milky bar kid. One day...
