New £20 coin

[HawkHybrid]

if this is rm's way of 'encouraging' me to

do lucky dip again and spend my existing

ones at face value. then I not impressed.

 

weird thing is that they are all unmagnified

identical. meaning it's more likely a machine

error as opposed to random bag marks from

having fights with each other.

 

I suppose I can't really lose as long as some

normal shops still accept them at face value.

[DRooster]

We need a list of places and purchases which will accept these things as legal tender ... for when we're bored of them.

 

How about paying car-tax at the Post Office?

[HawkHybrid]

chards has the issue limit for these at 200k.

rm website is stating 150k.

 

anyone reckon chards could be correct on this?

I wonder what the QE of RM coins would be if spent at face value.

They should give away these £20 coins as 'QE for the people'.

Well, go send Jeremy Corbyn an email then

[HelpingHands]

I've already got my QE from betfair for my 20-1 on him.

Wow! Nice one. You should bet on him being the next PM as well.

I assume that was a bet on him winning the Labour leadership.

[HelpingHands]

Yeah early on but when he became favourite I cashed it out as I thought it was too good to be true. Still could be. About £200 in returns anyway.

can't believe I've got 3 identical duds.

HH

Mine arrived today, and thankfully don't suffer with this issue.

Assume it must be a batch thing.

Send them back.

got mine today and all 3 have an identical strike-mark there, near the 2015. 

 

The Royal Mint harp on about how great they are, and to get shabby products like this is such a let-down

So we now have 6 extremely rare mis-struck coins. I'm sure there will be at least 6 mu...collectors who will want one of them.

 

I'd put one up on ebay, just to test the water. Chuck it on at £40 start and as an auction and see if anyone bites.

[SoulUK]

How long have people waited for these?

 

Bought two myself on the release and have not yet received anything.

 

First time buying from Royal mint so not sure how they do things

 

 

-Edit- Just checked the account *Shipping within 2 weeks* Wonderful.

Can you point it out?

(HawkHybrid's photo is too terrible for me)

[HelpingHands]

You can click on photos to enlarge. Two marks to the right of the 5 in 2015.

sorry about the pics, my camera skills are.....

(I'm blaming it completely on the lack of a

dedicated camera    )

 

fti I've contacted rm about it. so far, not even

an auto reply.

[Scuzzle]

I've been waiting over a week for mine now, the original purchase confirmation e-mail said shipping in 3x days, not a peep from them on progress (or lack of).

[Pete]

On a side note, I have noticed that one mug seller on ebay has sold one of these coins for £23.

 

Take off £2.30 Ebay fees.

Then take off  94p Paypal fees

Then take off 70p postage fees, that leaves you with................. £19.06

 

Oh dear..........

 

 

ooops my mistake, just noticed its the Royal Mints own Ebay account selling them at that price.

 

Buggers are trying to drive down the our resale prices 

 

Crafty gits....     

I very much doubt the Royal Mint will be paying feeBay anything like 10% and will have a much lower transaction fee with PayPal as well.

They will not be out of pocket for sure however much we try to analyse this.

[SoulUK]

Same, I haven't got a tracking number yet, which leads me to believe they have yet to send it

 

Check your account with them and the open orders, that will give you an idea where along the process it is

I have mine and I didn't get a tracking number.

[SoulUK]

That does not fill me with confidence

 

Sent a contact ticket asking what's going on.

[HelpingHands]

Wouldn't the status change to dispatched or something like that?

[DRooster]

Well, the Queen just did a tiny speech today, made me proud.

Just as well I got three of these coins en-route, eh?

[Scuzzle]

Poor Lizzy had to suffer Sturgeon today, good job she has mastered the poker face.

[DRooster]

From what I saw Sturgeon was the perfect gentleman ... or totally two-faced

depending on your point of view!  Still nice legs. (Don't even go there)
