Queens Beast Bullion Coins.

[Scotty1511]

I have now got the 5 proof coins for the queens beasts 

Lion

Unicorn

Dragon

Black Bull

Falcon.

I have the same in the 2 oz bullion, though on the 10 oz only have the unicorn, dragon and Griffin... 

So my question is what are the release dates on the proof coins and what is the release dates on the bullion... i have the Griffin 10 oz, why is there no griffin on the proof?

I believe the only 10oz i have missing is the lion, is this correct? ( have the griffen just now showing as no.proof coin).

Anyone got release dates for bullion and proof silver.

Received my brand new 10 oz Unicorn in its pristine capsule today.
Not a pretty sight with 4 edge dings.

I'd be firing that straight back.

Yeah... mine is bevelled on one side.. reduces like it missed a bit or been dropped.. though very even.

The release dates are all mixed up for the bullion and non bullion versions. From memory, the griffin was due to be released last for the proofs

Since the coin was supplied in it's capsule from the Royal Mint there is no merit in naming and shaming the supplier who is not to blame.
The supplier did send me this response -

" I've checked your photos carefully.
We've contacted the Royal Mint several times about these issues and always receive the same answers. 

We are told it is a BU coin ; only PROOF quality coins are flawless.

We have plenty of Royal Mint coins with similar marks as on your photos.
It is the avarage quality a 10 oz silver UNICORN coin, unfortunately.
During production process the coins bump against each other, some show deeper marks.
We are always sent away with same words:  nothing wrong, it corresponds to what you have to expect from a BU coin."

 

Doesn't make you want to break out the Union Jack and fly it from the rooftop.

Shocker

Very sad that the royal mint doesnt have a better quality control method. Even if it is just bullion people still collect it and want/expect it to be in good condition on purchase. Otherwise we'd all just buy blank rounds.

Just for info - last year, I had occasion to ring and berate the RM personally as a "PROOF" year collection had several of the coins within it that looked like they had been sanded with 120 grade sandpaper! - - - So clearly they do have on occasion, issues over "PROOF" - - - I was sorted very quickly with an immaculate replacement (the postage was even at there expense)

However their standards IMO do seem to slipping in the last few years

As to "bullion" I kind of agree that Bullion is really "melt/metal value" - ergo if anyone is wanting pristine - then proof is the only choice

ALL in my honest opinion
