Oldun got a reaction from Upsidedown in Gold Monitoring Thread £ GBP only
Agreed but the physical holders will be tempted and they only constitute a tiny part of the market so the LCDs will be busy with sellers not buyers. The pro paper buyers dont give a terrible what the
price is of course. In and out quickly. My mate runs a jewelry business and he says it is all physical sellers right now.

Absolutely zero surprise. This is why I havent bought anything from the RM in years. This design brought me out for a nibble but it will be a cold day in hell before I ever trust the RM again going forward, looking at this avalanche of appalling coins with unbelievable shoddy levels of both production and quality control. It takes a special kind of incompetence to fail at multiple check points in the process.

5oz door stopper arrived. Pristine coin on both sides. Lovely presentation to the viewer. Lettering edge marginally off but it’ll do fine as a door stopper for my grandkids’ playroom in the future.

Tracking number coming soon for my overpriced 5oz door stopper.
In other news, my Charles III Coronation 5 coin proof set quintuple and double sovs both got PF70. grades. That’ll do.

Oldun reacted to AndrewSL76 in Investigation into Historic Coin Pricing by The Royal Mint
Translation:
FORMAL STATEMENT BY THE ROYAL MINT
STARTS
Firstly, we would like to thank you for forcing these issues to our unwanted attention. We understand you have concerns and we welcome the opportunity to ignore them. The Royal Mint strives to provide customers with low premium products at high premium prices, and we would like to reiterate that we take all customer feedback seriously. (NB until you buy something you are NOT a customer, so please feel free to spend spend spend).
We have a responsibility to ensure that we provide our customers with quality, authentic boxes from reputable dealers. These are not cheap. As such, our pricing reflects a variety of factors, not limited to but including, rarity of the wood, condition, their historical significance, demand, as well as the very expensive cardboard packaging. Before establishing a retail price, The Royal Mint carefully ignores price guides and market trends.
As we source our historic boxes from high end carpenters to ensure we can make enough money for the terrible condition coins, our pricing model is obviously quite different to dealers selling great coins in flips. We are unable to compare or offer comment on valuations provided by external sources.
With regards to specific issues raised with products such as the Victoria Young Head Crown, we have taken this feedback, torn it up, and are working to ensure that we never have to read it again. We always want our customers to make informed decisions before purchasing, but on this occasion it is not helpful so we won't.
We are always working to review and enhance the pricing of our historic coin offering and so we are not taking your feedback on board. As a trusted brand, we acknowledge that there may have been instances where we have not charged enough for the tat we offer. However, we would like to reassure you that we are committed to improving the bank balance by offering more for more.

Been a loooong while since I bothered with the RM…years in fact….but snaffled a 5oz silver just to have a ticket for the ride….got a feeling the gold will do well but not sure about the silver. Anyway, got a ticket and worst case scenario, will have a pretty design to look at as a door stopper.
