I don't think it will do as well as those. The desirability of the 2022 proof sovereigns must surely be impacted by the availability of the same design in unlimited edition bullion form.

It won't at all - they are completely different markets

Would you return this? There’s some missing gold plating below the hash button. I find it quite noticeable to the naked eye so it’s going back.
Just not sure on return or refund…

Spoke with my account manager today and secured the coins I wanted from this release. Very happy with the mintages for the 50p two coin gold set, and love the design and observe of the 2oz Platinum Jubilee gold. I feel both will perform well over the years.

Just wish the RM would take a 6 months break from releasing lovely new coins, as it's been a crazy few weeks/months! Spreading them out would have been thoughtful!

Have many received what they ordered yet?

I received my 1oz platinum today and the 50p platinum with COA number 1 🥳

Congrats on the CoA! That’s awesome. I am hoping for either 01 or 70 for the gold set…fingers crossed! 

[Chrisplym]

Cheers Andrew. I hope that you are lucky 🤞

You're both lucky to have got them at all, let alone with any magic numbers! 😂 I would have loved the platinum 50p but settled for the 1oz platinum just because it was the next best available thing in my eyes.

I think it's a shame they didn't make more platinum coins for the occasion, but obviously it's good for anyone who got some. A cheaper bullion offering would have been nice too (a proper one, as opposed to just a platinum Britannia in a special sleeve).

[SilverJacks]

Well done @Chrisplym that's amazing. That's the best result out of all the special obverse coins, in my humble opinion. COA 70 would be great for someone also.

I got nothing from this entire release as I was so far back in the queue. 😭

Well that’s not entirely true - I got the £5 BU pack. 🥲

Just read that. So it's 1.3 million followed by the rest ?

Unless they're planning on selling 3.7 million annual sets 😂

I love getting some of my coins graded so I’m thinking of getting my coins from the piedfort set graded would that be a good idea ?

Got my 2 oz Silver Proof Platinum Jubilee Coin today.

Only issue is this one break in the frosting. 

What do people think, is this enough to be sending back for a replacement?

Thanks in advance!

That's unfortunate 😕 

In my opinion yes send back and that should not have been missed,the more returns ( within reason) the better,as they will be forced to actually put live bodies into their QC room.

Is it worthy of complaint? Would RM deem it to be acceptable? Is there a point where RM would stand their ground and say "We find that acceptable"?

I think it's in their interests to take a "customer is always right" stance (Within reason). It's understandable that some customers would be happy with it and some would not. If RM deem that coin acceptable (which I expect they would) then it's not that much of an issue for them to re-sell it. I'm sure it would get snapped up quite quickly. I guess it all depends on personal opinion, whether it stops you enjoying ownership of it. Or for resale value, whether you think it might be worth less.

It doesn't look post production. If that was the only issue then I'd be optimistic for it achieving a 70. On that basis, I would probably grade it. And like any other submission, I'd only be disappointed with a sub 70. Otherwise, I would accept the graders judgement that it is a perfect condition coin. That of course is subjective and many people would say a perfect slab doesn't mean a perfect coin. And of course, one might not want to grade it for a multitude of reasons, in which case, is it acceptable in its OMP?

Interesting to know what your thoughts are BYB, and what decision you make?

 

Edit: I forgot to mention, in my personal opinion, a 70 grade has extra significance because the coin commemorates a 70th anniversary. Not to everyone's concern but just my thoughts

I don't know whether it's financially viable. The platinum jubilee coins in the set are much rarer than the horseback versions. That makes it really interesting imo. Did you make a decision?

I’ve decided against it not going to get them graded

They don’t even need live bodies. They could get AI to reject coins like the app you can get to pre-grade a Pokémon or other collector card. Damn they even use better tech to QC potatoes 🥔

Aye, threaten legal action.

What the heck is going at the royal mint, first is a secrect release of a whole bunch of monarch series coins, still a dozen gold 1 and 2oz avaliable. Now just looking on the website I found this being avaliable again.
