If its royal mail signed for. They will probably just ram it through the letter box and sign a non descript squiggle themselves and pass it off as yours.

 

That's what my postie does anyway, doesn't even knock

I'd prefer that, I've been fine so far but if I have a tampered with parcel slammed through the letter box with missing stuff, gonna be hard to claim even if I chase after the postie. Once it's "delivered" insurance ends

SOTD has arrived - mark on centre right of portrait side  FFS

Visible to the naked eye clearly without magnification 

QC sticker inside as checked 

 

My first issue with RM for quality ive been lucky thus far until now. 

What do folk think?  shall i return or keep?

Surely a "strike on the day" cant be restruck for a replacement on another day ?

 

Would i just get a refund ???? and lose the chance of this coin - thanks

I 'd keep it Paul...it seems that this SOTD will not be replaced if you return it, so at these market price levels, your coin is way more valuable than £850 RRP....  

I understand your frustration, but this is still a beautiful coin, even with this small flaw, and I imagine a lot of collectors who missed it and who would be  happy to get yours.

That looks like something is on the coin, but still think that will be a good coin and dont think they will be many top scoring coins.

Have you tried air dusting it off? I had something like this with one of my Memorial Proofs & it came right off. Whenever I go about exchanging I like to call TRM's customer service to see what their stance on it is & if they have any leftover stock. Obviously, the risk is that you get something that somebody else returned. They'll probably be arsey about it though because it's technically BU. Tricky one, but would definitely resell it privately rather than refund it if you decide to go that route. For what it's worth, I reckon keep it even if it's a mark rather than a fibre.

Unsure about that. I've seen far fewer people pointing out issues with these coins versus something recent like the Memorial Proofs.

What's the mark, you're referring to? Do you mean the dot in Charlie's ear? The black mark to the right of the portrait is most likley just one of those back mico fibres? My 3 coin memorial set was covered in them.

I think it looks OK, presuming that black mark is a fibre..

Ive not seen mine yet, I waited in for the postie till half 1. Then went out, and low and behold he tried to deliver at 2pm! Haha.

I just received my SOTD sovereign and I have the same dilemma. Under my magnifier both side of the coins is full of little dots.

Mine too - lots of little black marks, a bit scruffy generally.

at this point I do not think they properly check them just put the sticker in it and that is it. Also I tried to brush it off and it is not a micro fiber or anything like that!

[Shinus73]

In fairness, you’d struggle to see any of my issues with the naked eye, but I take your point.

[Tipsmart]

Seeing some of these issues, I'm wondering how this will effect the value of a coin that's already practically doubled in price? 

How will these coins will grade?

And what sort of premium a 70 will command, one the dust has settled? 

[Paul]

Right, that's it ! my mind is made up forever

I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER, ever, ever buying from Royal Mint again, until the next release with "potential" launches {rant over} 

When are Coronation sovereign proof sets due to launch? (asking for a friend)

i would wait for 12-18 months to know their mature natural market value once the fliparati are out of the market  

70s may be in shorter supply than normal looking at the few defects we've seen just here already. Keep an eye on the NGC/PCGS population reports in the coming months

Certainly no harm in holding this sovereign for the long term, given it is a one of kind coin

once a life time Coronation edition/Plain Edge/very limited supply/matt finish

Yes, I think mine will become my only piece of non-graded gold. I usually move anything on that I can’t grade (creature of habit), but this will go away somewhere.

[Goldfever20]

I think mine is the worst condition out there, unfortunately I don’t have much luck with RM new releases. 😟
 

I am new to collecting sovereigns and I would like to ask you for second opinion please.

Is the sovereign worth keeping in this condition, or should I just send it back and forget about it? 

Many thanks in advance.

I bet you'll still get nearly twice what you paid if you sold it, to send it back for a refund would be crazy
