Second Quality QB’s Completers from Atkinson’s

I guess these are RM coins not meeting the grade….  Queer pricing!

I've picked up a few '2nd hand' bullion coins from them and they've been like new what I've received... The wording of second quality definitely sounds like they're a bit rough though😬

Maybe the standard coin doesn't even rate as "second quality"!

If you sell seconds, your firsts have to be perfect.

I've picked some of these as 'pre-owned' at Brit prices, and they were not just the same as ex RM quality, (actually unmarked on my purchases) but even still in capsules, things seem completely off the rails quite often currently, this being yet another example.

For the sake of clarity - my 'pre-owned' purchases were not from Atkinsons.

Maybe they cost more as they now count rim dings and fingerprints as errors?

Last I checked they are still more expensive compared to a new completer gold coin to buy. At first I thought it might be a website error but no it doesn’t seem so. Ridiculous.

Just checked the single coin price and, as I suspected, it's the volume pricing 'from' price that doesn't make sense.
A single new coin costs £6 more than the second quality coin - the second quality coins 'from' price is if you are buying 2 or 3, but the new coin 'from' price is for 100+.

Personally I hate these 'from' prices, I reckon they should show the price for one, it would be a lot easier to compare without having to click on each coin for the single coin price.

Mobius.
