Gazette Proclamation - Waterloo Medal (Great Engravers 2-coin set?)

[JeffM]

I’m happy with the 2 oz. silver.  Matches my other Great Engravers coins.  I generally don’t like the bigger coins.  Plus, I have no room for them!

I’m debating getting the 2oz. The design is so intricate that I’m not sure I need it in addition to the larger 5oz which I’ve ordered.

I’ve heard these are something like a deep strike so it might be interesting in hand in that regard too.

I got the 5oz silver and I’m happy. 

That’s the beauty of buying off RM, the surprise when the coin arrives and you realise it’s miles better in hand. Their sales pics never do coins justice - they should have a small vid of coins in hand, so you can actually see what you are buying

You are spot on. Their photoshopped images look very stock.

After I heard about the deep strike aspect, I looked at the pics more closely and I think you can see how high the rim is, which likely means the strike will also have that much of a relief.

It’s discernible in some images, like this one.

Well that was quick just received a email saying my order is on its way.

Well, I have decided for content creations sake more than anything to get the 2 oz. 

I am sticking to my word of not buying directly from The Royal Mint thouhg, bought mine from Chards. 

Same price as RM - but I feel confident I will have a nicer customer experience.

Multiple direct emails and two missed calls from my account manager... they're really trying to push the sales on this one!

Will be receiving my 2oz silver and 5oz tomorrow will post pics once I’ve received the coins 

[Steve66]

I managed to get the 10 oz silver and it’s been shipped if it looks good I’ll send it of for grading 

[NGMD]

Mine’s being delivered tomorrow🤷‍♂️. Got the returns label ready and abusive message to my account manager! Not really, haven’t got one, but we all like shouting at the clouds and flexing that we’re a Big Deal😁

Account manager - someone doing alright for themselves!

Should look stunning 

[Simmoleon]

Royal Mail delivering mine today, hopefully it comes issue free as I stopped buying directly from RM due to QC issue but I thought this would be an interesting coin in 5oz. 

[Agaupl]

That was quick!

My 5oz has arrived. Will try to get a picture up later when I open her up 

[Alz111]

Just received my 2oz & 5oz they look great no issues

Is the strike as deep as it was purported to be?

You can see it on the obverse. What the rim like? No bleeding of material?

turnaround time is pretty impressive. Mine is on the way since Tuesday too.

Can anyone compare it vs the previous released medals ?

[paulmerton]

Why are these in the goofy capsules?

How is the detail on the smaller coin? Was concerned the design would not show up so well
