wow paul 

[GoldDiggerDave]

How many of you guys have frosting issues?   I've splurged a load of cash on a good few sets knowing this might be the case, worst case I can make a decent set up and send the c**p back in 1 set some might call me a seasoned Royal Mint customer.

A calculated gamble/risk and part of pension plan these.

No more gold for me for a while, balance transfer the card payments over to whatever the best 0% offers are out there over a year or 18 months  

Got £5k reserved to throw at the balance for these, if i miss out on the next Gothic Crown - Great Engravers coins when it launches.

i got on the site at 8.50 but i ordered at 9.00

Frosting seems fine on mine 

a one has very tiny black dots (I think that’s what they are)

the 1/4 has a small chip on queen face and the worst of the lot

You had a touch there, I was semi impressed with the overall of mine but even mine has slight dust in cap !

So do you reckon slight flaws are OK??? Very faint hairline scratch on polished side of Queen?? Only detected under magnification.  ( No experience with proofs so thought I would ask)

[Foster88]

The good news is mine has been delivered today, the bad news is that I had to go out and I missed the bloody delivery.

The even worse news is now I have to wait until Monday to either rebook or get it from the sorting office. 😩

This is going to be a loooong weekend. I’ll just have to look at everyone else’s photos. 😔

Bit of a noob myself 

am sure in time the thread we reveal what to do 

the little bits I do know is the grading won’t be effected due to any flaws that have been caused during minting process, like missing frosting etc but any flaws caused after minting will

so a hairline might reflect the grade 

be interesting to hear others views 

 

[Alz111]

Most sorting offices are open Saturday morning so I would just go and try to get the coins 

[James32]

May I ask what should one expect from these coins????? Is hairline scratches on polished area on queen side ( only noticed under magnification) should the capsules be chipped ??

My heart is saying return but my brain is saying is there even any left, for replacement or will I get another person's return 🙃

They should be pretty much perfect - especially the coin itself; the coin should be issue free. The capsule should also be issue free but if that’s damaged it’s replaceable unlike the coin itself
