One of your staff members called me today to tell me about a set I had in my wishlist on your website.... I have to say that she was great and offered me an unbelievable price that I couldn't ignore. Needless to say I'm now waiting for my second 3 coin set that I wish I got on release day but didn't. I appreciate your fairness @LawrenceChard

I have the 2014 set in my wishlist, if someone wants to give me a call offering it cheap that would be great😂

great price for the x5 set - shame its sold out now

[Mtaybar]

So I found a couple little issues. Between the tail and the rim of the quarter sov there's a small thread or something on the coin and on the full sovereign there's a small speck under the unicorns horn. There seems to be small particles on the inside of the capsule as well on it. Is that ok ?

Royal Mint Loose Capsules Update

The Royal Mint have got back in touch regarding the loose capsule situation.

Let's hope that things improve now they are aware and have taken action.

I just wanted to update you on the actions that we are taking to address the issues you have highlighted below.

A full investigation has taken place and we have identified the root cause relating to the capsule issue, sadly it appears the packaging has caused this problem during delivery.  Our team are now solving the issue to ensure it does not happen again.  We have also reviewed your feedback regarding the QC sticker and further improvements have been identified to mitigate this in future.

 I understand how disappointing this situation has been, The Platinum Jubilee is a once in a lifetime occasion and we want to ensure you receive a product of the highest craftsmanship to mark the historic occasion.

At least now they acknowledge there's an issue and seem to be doing something

Yeah, I sent both to show it hides at certain angles

[Mtaybar]

I don't think it's much of an issue

But what do you all think?

If it reflects light at different angles it may be a mark on coin?

[Heirlooms]

Not sure if this has been confirmed but looks like the bullion will have the coat of arms design

Maybe.... At certain angles it looks like it splits into two so not sure if it's a speck or a dink. Not sure I want to take the capsule off though as these feel like they'll come apart a bit abrupt and send the coin into the air.

My remaining orders have just moved to Completed status, no emails yet, but I'm assuming delivery in the next few days...

😅😅 I know what you mean. 

The capsules are either open on arrival or have been closed by a herculean Welsh man.

If it doesn't bother you ,leave it well alone.

I assume you have checked with a loupe?

Yeah, I have a magnifying glass that stands. It has a 10x and a 15x capability I think. That coupled with the phone zoom and I think all I'm doing is finding minor faults and making them seem worse than they are but I'm no expert. With a 10x and the naked eye they look fab.

If they there's no flaws at 10x leave we'll enough alone as graders only use bare eyes then 5x to grade. 

I get you're point on finding problems though, as when we go looking for something we tend to find it type thing.

Right.... I'm not going to grade mine as I don't like taking them out of their display. I buy them as a whole package so don't want to split them up. I think they'll keep their value as is and I'm happy as they are.

I have no idea lol. I should slow down now and sort out some other stuff. Maybe look forward to the second Tudor beast release and look to get some bullion sovereign's later next year. I'm in no rush for anything else at the moment.

Interesting to know they only use a 5x. It makes sense now though.
