Yes that's me you can see, us Brits do love a queue, can you keep my place whilst I answer a call of nature?

[BarryWoods]

Hmm - I have 2 parcels coming from the Royal Mint today (two different numbers)  I was only expecting one parcel!

I’m thinking of getting the 2ozt silver graded…My fear though is black spots appearing once they have been slabbed.

 I think this is what happened to a lot of the Three graces coin.

Is it wise to grade new released Silver coins?🤔

Is it for you or to be sold on ? If it is for you, don’t grade. If you think you might want to sell on, grade. That’s my take anyway fwiw. Best of luck whatever you decide.

Why is it I want to run my finger over it ? Yes, this is the right chat

[Yorkshiremanc]

Mine has arrived too! Although…milk spots already on queens cheek?!? 😕what do you experts think? They seem to be weird squiggly lines/swirls?

[GoldDiggerDave]

@Yorkshiremanc if you are intending to grade then I would not panic, just get it conserved. 
 

 

[GoldDiggerDave]

@Yorkshiremanc I’m seeing only what I can describe as a greasy residue on some proof coins, If it’s that it can be removed easily with out damage.  If you are sending this back please I would not send scathing emails to the head of the RM like others have done. Just my opinion.

Yes and they only do it they deem required so it's all good. @Yorkshiremanc

No, of course not. They've just moved the queue around the other side.

[Yorkshiremanc]

Thanks folks for that advice! However very disappointingly, when I have looked at it again, there is a clear scratch on queens forehead…will have to send an email and see what the situation is with these this time!!

[creative]

@Yorkshiremanc that’s a shame. You sure it isn’t just some fluff?

[whitesands1]

A nice example just arrived.  I am very pleased.  Coin is very eye sweet and the design is amazing.  I wish everyone else the same outcome.

Unfortunately not 😔you can see the light catch when you move it around. Really hope everyone else’s are OK!

@Yorkshiremanc if you can’t get a exchange I’m happy to pay you RRP for it plus postage.

Although I'm neither a buyer on the secondary market or a seller I am keeping a keen eye on what sales of these do and just how much being part of a two coin set will affect values. So far I've seen one listed on Facebook for £750. Seems low and would be tempting for anyone that missed out I am sure though does the potential for extra stress come March put people off? How many people will be doing a quick flip and how many will be holding until they get the second coin then flipping as a set?

Normally things follow a pretty standard path value wise but there is a lot to consider here and it will be interesting to see how it all affects the value of these coins.
