<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sio2ga, post: 2719468, member: 83570&quot;]Here is a coin that I just got in direct from The Royal Mint of the UK.&nbsp; This is the special 20th anniversary coin with a trident privy, gullioche pattern and radial lines.&nbsp; The privy mark is a Trident with &quot;20&quot; in between the tines. As the mint describes the new features: &quot;2017 marks the 20th anniversary since the Britannia silver bullion coin was first released. To mark this occasion, the original design by Phillip Nathan has been updated to include an anniversary mark to denote the respective anniversary and the coin is limited to a production of 120,000. The obverse of the coin also includes the introduction of a new guilloché finish, providing an additional level of security for investors.&quot;</p><p>I ordered these from the mint and not only did that cost me twice what it would have from MCM I had to jump thru flaming hoops to order from the mint.&nbsp; To get an account I had to submit a copy of my passport , a bank statement and a utility bill.&nbsp; The madness didn&#039;t stop there because ordering and paying isn&#039;t simple like with 99% of other places. I had to do a bank transfer before making the purchase!</p><p>You may ask why I went the expensive route?&nbsp;&nbsp; This is because MCM sells raw coins that are rejects ( which won&#039;t work well for grading submissions) and I resent them being one of the companies that bought up all of the 2017-S congratulations set silver Eagle coins.</p><p>I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d be overly impressed with this coin but it looks better than the photos by leaps and bounds!&nbsp; Here are 4 pictures which are pretty good considering they were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone.[ATTACH=full]615591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]615593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]615594[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]615595[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
