Here is what the first nine coins look like (in order from left to right, from top to bottom) Three of the coins have the F15 privy. At least one more upcoming coin will also have the F15 privy.  |

@jpaiva83: is that from the 2011 series?

Yup, from the 2011 series.
I placed my order back in March 2011. The coins were suppose to come one a month for 15 months.
If you do the math, I should have received coin # 15 right about now, but I am only up to coin # 9.
I am hoping that my collection will be complete before we all die on Dec 21 2012 but given the Mint's shipping track record for 2012.....

They look really nice. I am thinking about subscribing to the 2012 series. I know they are bullion coins, so they are not 'proof', from your experience, what are the quality of these coins? Any flaws, scratches or defects? I am thinking about whether I should try to find and buy these coins as bullion (and forget about the special mint mark on some of them), but bullion are not usually perfect. So if the ones ship from RCM are in prefect condition, then that would justify the premium RCM is charging. Thanks. |

@Jpaiva83: Nice collection. Not sure why the Mint switched from the square capsules that you have to the round ones this year. I know the Britannia is slightly larger than the SML so the square capsules seem ideal.

@ falcon, I have already received the box and the watch. The box came after my 4rd or 4th coin. The watch after the 5th or 6th coin.
@ shopaholic, I am by no means an expert. That being said, I have not noticed any major flaws with any of the coins at all. What bugs me a little is that if you are not careful, you could open the capsule if you are rough trying to remove the coin from the display box. Also the US coin is not tight enough in the capsule so it can rotate.

@Mrpiedfort I don't think they did. They sent the SML in round capsules, but then went back to the square ones. It seems to have been a mistake and I've heard people who complained got a replacement square capsule for the SML. However, since they haven't delivered the 2012 wooden box yet, I can't be sure what the mistake was.

Just got coin # 10 today. Not a photo of the one I have, just a photo I found online. Tied with the Britannia as the most boring.  |
