[QUOTE="EricC, post: 1156546, member: 26974"]Hi, I just got three 2011 Britannia coins that I bought off of Ebay. The seller has good feedback. The coins are in the sheets/blister packs from the mint but I know those could be gotten anywhere or re-used. Each coin looks pretty good except the Queen looks like a "weak strike?". Her eye is barely there....it is more of just a smoothed out section. I tried doing a search for 2011 coins and found several where her eye is very well defined, even with wrinkles. So, do Britannia coins sometimes get weak strikes or is it possible that I got three fakes? I know you have to be careful with buying Panda's because of fakes, but I didn't know about these. Sorry I don't have a picture yet, but thought I would ask. It looks like the other coins that I see but all 3 coins are the same - really no defined eye. thanks[/QUOTE]
