Yes, it looks like it, I had not noticed that, and our photographer had not commented on it.

Well spotted.

It could be a RM guarantee of authenticity.

The blue also goes too high at the top right.

Clearly a rotation error

Looks like it - I've seen some shocking misalignments on some coins - my Silver proof is pretty accurate tbf... will try and get some pics up - work gone crazy at the minute!

The Bunc coins I have are reasonable too... 🙂

I asked our photographers "Did anyone notice the colour printing was not perfect?"

and got the answer "It rarely is. Alignment has been poor on quite a few recently."

Detail:

Looks like they didn't spot the extension of the blue.

All of these are still in stock at the Royal Mint. I really thought that there would be more interest with them being 50ps. Maybe there will be now the event is starting.

Just had an email about these, tempted, however, not a fan of coloured coins. Probably regret this later when they are fetching good money!

[Petra]

Just seen the flags on tv, now understand the coin design! (Probably should read the info more)🫢😁

[paulmerton]

Maybe it's just another one of those coins that a lot of people decided to give a miss to because they already had one or more from the annual sets.

[Scootermuppet]

Always difficult to predict which 50p coins will be popular, and it’s not always based on mintages!

I’ve gone for coins and packs that seem to be popular - have a few different Kew Gardens 50p’s and the 2009 annual pack and one of the 1,952 double Bunc packs of the 2022 Platinum Jubilee 50p’s too! - and as for silver proof 50p’s I only own one - and it’s the Commonwealth Games 2022 coin. Being a Brummie by birth I had to show some support. Have a Bunc set of the four Privy mark coins too as I liked the look of them.

Although I’ve switched to Gold for the main stack, I see Silver as a way of buying coins I like at a more affordable level than their gold versions.

The Tudor Beasts 2 coin reverse proof sets appealed to me - especially at a mintage  of 1000 sets - so will probably carry on with those, and won’t get too hung up on future value.

Don’t think I’ll ever buy a great deal of silver, but if something catches my eye, then I’ll probably go for it - and without much protest from my Wallet! 😁

The Scottish one has now sold out.

[Scootermuppet]

Would have thought the Games themselves would have prompted more sales... maybe everyone is feeling the pinch? 😕

I sold my sets a few weeks ago on eBay and made a lil bit of profit. 

Kept a set for my own collection ☺️
