This design has been used twice before (1997 and 1999) Here is a proof 1997 version. I honestly would prefer to see new designs every year like with the Pandas, Kangaroos and Kookaburras. But seeing as I don't have a 97 or 99 Britannia...I will be buying this in proof when it is released.
I still havent goten one of these yet, dont know which design I like the most, but this one looks great
Have to agree I would like a different design each year as well makes for a more interesting collection :thumb: How could they mint it as a sov without the Britannia figure?? it woudnt be the same design anymore :rolling:
Hey, Randy, if you are looking for any of these, just drop me a line. I have a friend who has a whole collection of these plus other world silver coins that he is trying to sell. I don't know if he had this exact date, but I know he has a near complete collection of these. I am supposed to get with him this weekend over his house to pick out some of these that I want to buy off of him. If you are looking for a date, just drop me a pm. :thumb:
Thanks I'll have to wait till I get more money though spent a lil over my budget(its not hard to do since its not that much lol). I also got a Japanese Shu (Kazi period) today. edit: Does he have any of the 1/10 oz silvers?
I think the standing britannia is the least fave design. To go on the coin store websites I visit...90% of the britannias they have are the standing design. 2003 I will own within the next month....in a 4 box proof set. Spink 2008 book says £90...these are listed at £95. Not one set is below £130 on ebay. Next payday I will buy these...so please noboddy nab em I own 2001 proof - standing/art deco design 2005 UNC - seated 2008 Proof - standing by sea
No, just one oz coins. He has them from England, Australia, Mexico and China.... at least those were the ones I were interested in and didn't pay attention to the others, if there were any. He may have some Chinese and Australia 1/2 oz silver bullion pieces but I believe that was it, but I will check this weekend. I spoke with him tonight and I am looking to meet up with him this weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have money either and don't get paid for another two weeks. I need to go out and pimp myself! :kewl:
EddyK, that set is ggggggorgeous! If you don't get it let me know because I will gladly rescue that baby. I bought my first 4 coin set this past year and was extremely happy with it. Mexico has a 5 coin set and I just bought the 2008 set. That set is probably now my most favorite foreign set! Those sets aren't cheap either as the older sets go for some ching ching.
well he is selling and you are not buying so get racking and let me in on the deal or ill take my hammer out :hammer:
Reminder to all any Deals keep them to Pm's and not on the boards, only place for that is the Open forum.
here we go again there arent any deals that are happening here. we dont even know if there are any coins thank god you didnt run along with scissors on this one we are just talking De Orc. you are slowly becoming the mod with the biggest hammer sigh
