2022 Sovereign design revealed?

I would return it, this is unacceptable, you won't get a worse one than this, this is fooking bad.

Why people often say keep your poor quality coin just in case you get a worse one... we pay high premium, so we should receive a top quality product. Shame on you RM.

Well it’s not stuck to the coin, think it might just be a hair on the surface..managed to get a picture that makes it clear..still not happy with the frosting tho. Going to respond to the email they sent me yesterday with pictures.

Why don't you open the capsule and try to blow the hair off with an air duster.

I would let the NGC conservation team do that if i sent it for grading, just the frosting missing is making me want to return it.

I'd be blowing it off now. Nothing to lose if you'd be returning it anyway. If it was a strike though I'd be keeping it!

Is it desirable to have a hair struck into the coin then? Wanna swap for this?

I daren't open the capsule to try and blow it off, it is the single full sov.

Did they release a double half sov?

I meant it was on it's own, not part of a set. Because swapping out of a set would be FrAuD.

So here’s something to add to Royal Mint’s impeccable record sheet…I returned the 5 coin set and got an email that it had been received. Then got another email saying a replacement had been dispatched - fab I thought. I then get a text from DHL, though the address it’s going to is an *old* address of mine that still must be on the RM system. Note, this was *not* the address the 5coin set originally came to (!). Phone call to RM this morn- they got in touch with DHL and said they would redirect the parcel - fab I thought. Just clicked to track the package…says package was delivered with a picture of it being handed over to some person…and guess what, that person is not me 🙃

Email sent back to RM just now saying can they get in touch with DHL ASAP to sort this, otherwise it is going to be a very expensive situation for them to put right!!

Probably the random person opened it up and took them out of the caps for a closer look by now

[SilverDrum]

They have truly screwed up the feeling of this release for me and many others. It will forever be remembered for the struggle to get what i ordered, and not for the coin itself. 

Posted mine back today for a replacement, fingers crossed for a better coin!

I know right! I called Royal Mint this morning - they are escalating and will come up with a plan given the high value of the delivery. I expect they’ll pay for DHL to go and collect the parcel or something, so it will be interesting if DHL turn up and the owner of the house says ‘package? What package?’ 😂

It will be very difficult to get it back for the courier, especially if the they don't have a proper delivery confirmation image. Last time, my non royalmint delivery confirmation by Evri was just the photo of the label, not where was the parcel left/ delivered.

There is a picture of the package being handed to someone, so there is evidence that it was received by someone at least!

Surely Evri also log the coordinates of delivery as well, even if it's not available to the recipient.

Surely the driver can come to our address, knock, once no one answers, take photo of the label (not the recipient), then take the parcel with them!?!
