i received my coins as well. parcel came crushed and soaking wet through post, no idea wtf my local post has done with it on the way. surprisingly, the coins have been so well packed they endured and survived the accident or whatever that was. the coins are intact, so are the slabs and certificates. a good sign i guess.
the coins look great i must say, but there are a few things i have noticed that i don't really like that much or would have done differently.
1. the coins came in some Lighthouse slabs that have a little too wide hole for the coins. this makes the coins hit the slab's plastic whenever shaked a little or dropped. i never owned a real PCGS or NGC or etc slab, but i think the coins aren't supposed to move inside?
2. my slab's top tag has the logo cut and glued on top of the tag. also, the scissor cuts are clearly noticed. this gives the slab a very cheap/weird/unprofessional look in my opinion, something that could have been fixed by only paying more attention to the cutting. maybe next time print some helping lines around the tag's text so that you at least have straight cuts and a proper rectangle/square rather than a weird shape.
3. although this might not be raritycheck's fault, one of the slabs has a smudge on the inside, on the tag. there are also some scratches/smudges (maybe glue?) on the inside where the coin is sitting. maybe these are scratches produced when the parcel got crushed, no idea..
4. certificates. if i were you, i would have printed them on business cards. much thicker than paper and a much more professional look overall. the use of multiple fonts and font color/size makes it look kinda messy as well.. some are underlined, some are blue, smaller, larger, brown, black, bold, different font.. why not use just a single font with a very minimalist design? maybe a black certificate with white or silver text for the silver coins and a gold certificate with black text for the gilded ones. i don't know, just an idea.
overall, i mostly care about the coins rather than the slabs and tags/certificates. however, i think smallest details sometimes matter the most. and if the smallest details make the coin look cheap/unprofessional, that means there is so much more room for improvement.
i am personally very very new to crypto collectibles and only ever owned a few coins so maybe i have too many expectations since i don't have a history to look at, but i really think a professional-looking certificate/slab tag would only cost at MOST a few more bucks per coin although i'm more than sure it's so much less than that..
pictures coming very soon. right now, i only have the pics of the smudged slab. raritycheck, please take this as constructive criticism and a warm message telling you that there's room for improvement. i personally think that a little more attention to the details would do wonders.
Hello PontiusTP
Oh no!!
Not sure happened with the post. Sorry to hear! We had packed coins very nicely, so coins should be okay.
Thank you for these comments and we welcome your criticism. These are all very helpful points. We are excited for your pictures, please do share.
Usually, people don't send in ever slabs. We just thought of doing it to keep coins safe.
Admittedly, the batch of coins we sent to you were the first ones and was not upto the mark when it comes to certificates. But coins were packed carefully. As a gesture, we had already sent you a Satori chip because we felt we could have done better. Since then we have improved on certificates. In fact, now we send laminated certificates.
So to make it up to you, let us resend you certificates on our behalf and we can also, resend everslabs if you want us to. We will pm you.
Thank you for taking the time to post here. We are grateful!!
