You could ask that new members send their prizes first, and once confirmed, then they can be sent theirs?

My first pickup from the Royal Mint historic department. 1879 Sydney minted Shield.

...in a nutshell, very pleasant.
I thought I’d give my experience in case anyone else is wondering what the process is.
I recently received a marketing email from the Royal Mint Historics (RMH) attempting to sell a ‘limited stock’ sovereign minted in India. However I wasn’t that interested as it was a lot cheaper elsewhere.
I was in the market for a shield back so I thought I’d get in touch. I spoke with a Nicky Harris from the RMH who was quite helpful in offering me a couple of options. I went for the coin below as it was a decent price and piece of mind that it’s coming from the mint.
It was super easy to do, they sent over a concent form for the payment options, either a 0% or pay in full. Start to finish it all took less than two weeks from order to delivery.
The only downside I found was that I wasn’t able to be provided pictures beforehand as the coins are sourced to order, but some information was provided around the expected quality.
Overall i’m happy knowing I’ve got a nice coin from a good source and while I don’t see myself buying a lot from the RMH I’d happily use them again.
Below is the coin how it’s presented in a flip.

To be honest i don’t know, I’m guessing they must have partners, like select dealers they work with. I was offered a specific year, so I’m guessing they have some sort of database.
If it was a premium I don’t think much was passed on. As it’s cheaper than I can find it anywhere else for the same quality.
That’s exactly why I went through the mint, the price was right and knowing it’s genuine.

Lovely coin 😍
So do they just phone around a load of coin dealers asking if they have one in stock and then add a margin on it? 
What does source to order really mean?
At least you know the mint have checked it to be genuine.
