Stunning! What sort of premiums if you don’t mind me asking? 

Would love to have these in the collection. A full pamp zodiac would look amazing

 Take a few pictures  and email it to them.

 They might pop them in your next delivery.

 I've always found them very helpful.

Emailed the European Mint last Saturday, as that was the earliest possible time for me to make some photos of the coin capsules while being at home in the daylight (going to work when it's dark, and it's dark again when I get home again).

They responded earlier this morning (respect for their quick reply), that it is normal to have some scratches on the capsules, but as they want their customers to be satisfied, they will pop some replacement capsules in with my next order with them.

Although it is a nice offer, it is one that's not overly helpful for me now. And I actually think it's bad enough as it is that they send coin capsules out that are in such poor condition, as it's nothing a bit of quality control couldn't have prevented.

Then again, rather the capsules than the coins to have something to complain about. But still, what guarantee is out there that all of the coin capsules in my potential next order with them will be in good condition? Definitely something I will keep in consideration if I'm ordering with them again.

 You could be very  specific in your next order  that you don't want scratched capsules.

 I know it's a pain I've got a few them but for the vast majority there okay.

 I'd say it's more a case of how they received the coins.

 I don't know what their markup is  or even if there is room to replace.

 Me personally I wouldn't send them  if I was a supplier of new billion. You pay for the Capsule to be new 

 On the other hand it is a case  to protect the coin.

 Just place a small order and get your capsules.

And now that's what bugs me. Even a small order with the European Mint comes with fairly hefty shipping costs again, so you'll better make it a bigger order to make the shipping costs worth while. 

So for now, I'll just order some coin capsules somewhere else, hopefully I'll be invited to drop a review somewhere to give a piece of my mind, and I'll leave it at that. And I'll surely request to send my potential next order out with good coin capsules. 

Imagine you've ordered a smartphone somewhere, and it arrives with scratches on the back, and a star on the screen. And when you contact the seller about it, they say they do that more often, but they'll send you a screen protector with your next order to them as they want to keep their customers satisfied. Would be unacceptable, wouldn't it? 

But okay, suppose that's the risk of ordering something from somewhere abroad. Lesson learned...

You seen the 50% off shopping costs offer that @BackyardBullion has negotiated? (just in case you havent!)

[silverdocket]

@FunkyChicken even  if you have to go on eBay  for new capsules 

 Are you still saved yourself a packet compared to the UK.

 But I sympathise with you it's very   Annoying

True to having saved plenty of $€£ compared to purchasing in the UK.  Suppose you also pay VAT on all silver in the Republic of Ireland then (coins are not exempt, like they are over here)?

 95% of our laws were made by the British establishment The other 5% is what the Irish government have managed to **** up since.. 😂😂

You have started a collection 😂 now you'll have to try and source the 10,25, and 50 utah goldbacks to make it a complete display........... Im a little OCD like that. 

[LiquidMetalsUK]

Me to I have a second display ready for the others 🤣

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Well today I received what I think is Shipwreck Silver. The Coin is Horse Rider Ducaton from the Dutch province West Friesland - All the specifics match. I am just not sure which specialist to take it to for real evaluation. It was part of a 5KG silver coins blind buy. 

[Stu66]

Finally got my 1921 sovereign  'package ' together , all bought seperately, Perth mint box , Perth mint sovereign , Royal Mint capsule.
