    I tried contacting them by email on Friday but got not response. I'll try again by email and phone next week. I also tried commenting on their blog, but as you saw earlier, could not get a comment accepted.

    Thanks for bringing attention to this SilverPete. I've passed this information to our QC department and have been assured that each of the coins we receive will be inspected prior to being sent out to customers :)

    Kind regards,

    Renee

    Hi Elkslayer132,

    We're expecting to have stock from Perth by the end of this week or early next, so accommodating for QC they should be getting shipped to customers mid-late next week :)

    I'll post an update in this thread if there are any changes

    Kind regards,

    Renee

    Sounds like a bunch of nonsense from Perth. I wonder what rubbing against a capsule doesn't seem to be a problem for the Tiffany coin series.

    My guess it that since they didn't expect this series to be as popular as it has become, they didn't think it would be worth investing in a new capsule size, which would have required a new injection mold and would not have been worth while if the Zeus coin had been a 1 off.

    Mine arrived like this too. The finish on her cheek was worn off due to the rattling. She has a shining spot on her face and in places where the relief was higher...
