Dented Bullion Memorial Double Sovereign from Royal Mint

[MilkSpot]

I have received a bullion memorial double sovereign from the Royal Mint and it has a slight dent in it.

When I say 'slight', it's too small to photograph and isn't visible when held at certain angles.

But it did come in a capsule, and it is sold by the RM exclusively...

Should I return it?

[James32]

Going to be awkward trying to explain your reasons for 'returning' if its so insignificant it cannot be pictured. If anything,  a picture should highlight the problem.

As the head of Royal Mint Quality Control - Mr. Milk Spot - you sir have more gravitas than the average buyer

My inability to photograph it relates to the quality of my camera rather than the noticeability of the dent. I think I've managed to capture the dent's glint now...

No worries, but impossible to give an honest opinion with no image  😆 good luck anyway.

I'll try and get a photo, but it's definitely a dent - I've looked at it through one of those eyeglasses like what David Dickinson uses and everything.

I'm not disputing the damage, just trying to ascertain if it falls under the "bullion" banner or is unacceptable.

Decent natural light works best. Which is easier sead than done now the days are getting shorter.

I'll give you £730 for the destroyed double sov.

I thought your last 2 photos of the Tutankhamen coin on January 10th were superb…..Give it a go!

Bullion coins are sometimes dented because they come in tubes and rub against each other.

@James32 is just asking the questions the mint will ask if you try and ask for a return. To them bullion is bullion and dent or not it’s still that weight of gold. 
Now everyone knows we pay much more than spot for these coins but they want a strong reason to swap a bullion coin. Without photo proof they most likely won’t even take it back even to check.

If you have to examine it with an eye glass to see it then you ain't returning it, it's bullion expect little dings etc

You asked a similar question back in July, did you send that coin back and receive a replacement?

It's a different coin (coronation vs memorial) but the OP has the same problem.

I'm suggesting that he may know the answer to his own question.
