[QUOTE="britannia40, post: 2932664, member: 74818"]About 8 months i posted a British 2010 (Ironworks) 2£ major DDO on here. I subsequenly found a total of ten pieces. I was no able to find anything online pertaining to these coins. I emailed the Royal Mint upon the first find. I never recieved a reply. I reposted all of them in error coins recently after 5 were graded and i recieved the last one. Upon encourangement by a fellow member. I contacted several places, sent 1 to ICG for the discovery label and also decided to contact the mint again. This time i called them. I was referred to their Royal Mint Museim staff that evidently handles thier errors. I talked with Mrs Trumper and got her work email and sent the following pictures after explaning that i have had the coins checked and authenticated by NGC and PCGS (the only ones the have).[ATTACH=full]712496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]712497[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]712498[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]712499[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]712500[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]712501[/ATTACH] After about 10 days i recieved this response. [ATTACH=full]712502[/ATTACH] Now i know decisions are hard to make from photos even HD ones, but it seems very quick and easy for them to write it off as "die chatter". I would think they would have taken it into consideration that several (5) expert opinions are unlikely to be wrong ( not that TPGs dont make mistakes), but generally not 5 seperate occasions. Actually im not really sure what die chatter is. The internet didnt have any great definitions of this if anyone knows please tell me. So i replied and asked if i send my coin to them would they would be able to give me a definitive answer. This is the reply i got. [ATTACH=full]712503[/ATTACH] So after new year 2018 i will send them 1 of the ungraded pieces. Im very interested if their report will be the same as their email or they will state its an error. Either way i will have a definative report on record from them. 1. Has anyone else ever had to deal with a mint( US, UK or any other mint)before with something like this. 2. My previous above question concerning die chatter. 3. Any other input you might have. Thank Chris[/QUOTE]
