APMEX Gods of Olympus style 'EXODUS' coin revealed

[barsenault]

So - jammed edge with access to the reverse for 10 hours.
Traces of ring cutter on the obverse. These places without the antik finish.
A Shame!

Perth Bullion - it's your coin. Do you have something to say about this "magnificent" coin for the collector?

What a damn shame! That isn't the perth mint, fortunately. That is Scottsdale, I believe. I would put up a stink with them for quality control. Now we know who to stay away from. Geesh.

I believe he's talking about Perth Bullion, the AUS dealer -- not Perth Mint, the mint.


Regardless, it does suck. Very sloppy. Especially for a $175 USD coin or whatever.

Should have never left the mint's door.

I wonder if there's a way to "re-antique" such coins? It must be an artifact of the chemical bath so another quick dip may fix it?

Better be a pretty strong dip to fix the rim & the queen's cheek..


The spotting almost looks like milk-spotting prior to the application of the antique finish.

Ow, you are right. This coin is a disaster. The dealer should accept returns and supply a replacement.

What's the bet this series will end early and not run to completion? It's around the same price as Perth Mint's Olympus series so doesn't seem good in comparison.
