Thread: 2012 Silver Britannia

Treehugger has a good point. which years don't come in 4 coin sets?

Years in which no four coin sets where produced are:
1999
2000
2002
2004
2006
2007

Interesting development: "As part of The Royal Mint’s growth plans into bullion, a new specification Britannia bullion 1oz gold (99.99% purity) and silver (99.9% purity) has been devised, creating a more refined product."

I've got a few. Added one to an album of the Britannias.

I don't have any of these, just some 2009 Britannias.

Would like to get my sweaty hands on one though.

These are neat coins. About time The Royal Mint comes up to the World standard of 99.9% Silver standard.

while mintage for previous years were limited to 100,000 pieces. 2013 might be unlimited. most other bullion type of coins were also increase its production.

Good point! For collectors of limited bullion it might be a bad thing. For bullion accumulators like me its a better thing in both ways, more production (lower costs) and higher silver content .999
