secret santa Posted March 10, 2021 Author Posted March 10, 2021 The whole set is integrated and sealed into a single pack so that no individual part of it can be replaced and so withdrawing the set and re-issuing a new one is the only practical option. I bought mine through the Westminster outfit so they would have my details rather than the Mint. The set cost £55 so I don't think that they would consider sending a replacement without receiving the faulty set first. And they have only offered this replacement as an option rather than a request, so I suspect that most people won't bother. Expensive mistake, rather like product recalls. Quote

Fair enough. Still expensive though. Could just issue an official correction sheet to be sealed onto the pack somewhere as an alternative to sending the entire thing back (if there's room), and give customers the choice. How long before we get the rare "Televison" sets offered on e bay at an inflated price (or the other way round) Quote

I am sure the grammar and spelling nazis on here have not bought the coins or they would be first to complain Quote
