[QUOTE="gstett, post: 8633364, member: 142296"]I occasionally invest in bullion (often in UK coin form as they are CGT free for me) but I'm not a collector or stacker, so please forgive the 'noob' question. I'm just curious how often you see bullion coins with really obvious imperfections or impurities? I bought a 2022 gold Britannia recently and it has a very small but unsightly black spot on it. I realise it's not a proof coin or anything special - just bullion purchase for me so I don't [I]really[/I] care - but still curious to hear from some experts. I did find this post from Chards complaining about Royal Mint quality control: [URL]https://www.chards.co.uk/blog/royal-mint-quality-control/919[/URL] Photos of the coin in question attached, including a couple of close-ups from an admittedly very low quality micro-lens.
