I received the CharlesIII Silver dollar today.
Both sides apparently have an oily film as if somebody
dragged a greasy thumb across it.

Has anyone else had issues this year? - I'm returning mine.
(ps - the shadow you see isn't lighting - its there at all angles
and appears to be something smeared on the capsule or (possibly) the coin)

I'm sorry, but I can barely make out anything from the pic you posted. If you haven't already mailed the coin back, could you try another pic, especially after taking the coin out of the plastic container?

I am still waiting for my dollar to be delivered (it's crossed the border so it shouldn't be more than another couple of days), so I can't comment yet on if your finding is a multiple problem or a one-shot "oopsie".

If this is the CharlesIII silver dollar why is queen Elizabeth on the Obverse?

Most likely political stuff

But similar to that, on the UK "In Memory of QEII" coins, the obverse has Charles III

The reverse of the coin(s) show the Royal Cypher of King Charles III. I guess this officially makes them the first Canadian King Charles coin.

Dcadon, I got my KC III Cypher dollar today and the condition is superb! Sorry you got a bad example, but I've yet to get any coins from the RCM that had ANY problems.

Mine came through in record time and in beautiful condition. Makes the ordering day issues much less annoying.
