Has anyone else not received thier order?? I am due a 2oz & its still not showed up? 
Im starting to think that when they went back on resale after being 'sold out' that was a mistake. 

I think I remember that when the 2oz went back on sale the delivery date was well into next month? Can anyone confirm?

Yes I remember that it was a November date also.

Still waiting for my 2nd 2 oz  and haven't had the delivery confirmation email yet. Although I'll be returning the first as it has some very slight marks on the obverse which I didn't see until I looked over in natural light this morning.  All the of my 1/4 oz golds are fine though.

Can I assume this is the artistic attempt at wrinkles??? Or has the panther had a go at lizzy's neck?

Still waiting on mine. 
Received my 10oz (sent back today due to Milk spots) They replacing it as apparently had some spare in the vault for such problems.
5oz arrived yesterday with my 2x 1oz. All seem fine.

Mine came yesterday... No dispatch email, no update on RM account, suddenly received it

Ahh OK 👍 was a little worried there as I've not had many dealings with the royal mint. 

It is possible this can happen, although unproven. Since RM guarantee their coins to 68 or above, some returned coins could be deemed to meet the standard and be resold.

In some circumstances, it would even be desirable. I would gladly take a flawed Una right now at RRP. A couple months back, a member purchased a silver Three Graces out of the blue, for less than original RRP because it was plastered in debris. With conservation it turned out a perfect 70!

[SilverJacks]

I would give them a call if you're wondering where the order is. With this much time elapsed, they can usually tell whether your order will be fulfilled.

Well that's good then 👍 thanks

[James32]

My 1oz arrived and to be honest I'm very content. (Did question the panther attacking lizzie due to her neck wrinkles lol) seriously though I've checked it over and there is no obvious Mark's which is all I hoped for because believe me if I was to spend the next 30 minutes looking for a flaw especially under magnification (I'm pretty certain I will find one) so considering everything including price and general condition and the fact this is the first design ( each coin/design should improve) I give it a 8/10

Just rang RM and there are 382 2 ozs on order pending delivery but none left in stock - they need to be manufactured so might take a while. Apparently they only made half the mintage up front and got a bit caught out on the demand.

So there's definitely not a spare in the vault for my replacement then 😂. I had a low cert no. too, wonder if I get that back...

Yeah my 2oz not arrived yet, invoice in the coins that arrived stated that if you had ordered more then they are on their way

My second 1oz arrived today and sadly it’s going to have to go back.

Would anyone be able to advise wether these marks would affect grading? There’s a ‘dink’ in the frosting on the reverse and a mark, by the queen’s mouth, I thought it was dust but it’s not. 😕

I’m more concerned by the dent in the outer rim.

I'm now going to have a closer look at mine tomorrow lol.

I’ve had a look at the first that arrived yesterday and that’s fine as far as I can see. I’ve looked at both with the loupe.

Todays arrival is the one that’s going back.

But I wonder how those marks might affect grading?

I've never had a coin graded but here's how I look at it....if the coin arrived perfect and you took it out of the capsule and dropped it onto the table resulting in said damage ,would you A) still send for grading or B) expect a high grade in your heart of hearts?  If grading is your intention then personally I'd send it back. Best wishes.

One of mine came today to

They took mine two days after order and minus weekend 1 day before dispatch....did you order in stock items on Thursday? Or waiting for stock items as I think they have a November date and payment likely won't be taken until close to then.

[James32]

And on my invoice that came in the box it says postage £0 so I assume they will refund the £5 although it's still showing as pending in my bank.....the coin money has gone out long ago so I'm pretty sure the postage won't be claimed 🤞

[MintCollectionsImports]

Coins are starting to arrive. Fun fun.

I ended up getting #oo6 for two coins! 
 

10 oz Silver and 2 oz Gold. They both look awesome. @BackyardBullion posted pics of the 10 oz but here are some pics of the 2 oz gold in case you haven’t seen it in the wild yet. The size  and clarity of the Panther is perfect.
