Are the Britannia's available in a proof version and if so, is it the reverse proof like the AUS Kookabura's?
Thanks. I purchased one a few weeks back and I was dissapointed in the finish. It is very mirror-like but I was expecting it to have frosted areas like the US and AUS proofs. IMHO It is a very beautiful design but it would have been better with such. I saw some pics of another 2005 Britannia and it appeared to have a nice "satin-like" finish which really made the details visible but it must have been just another "trick" of the camera, because the actual coin was much different.
I was thinking mine are a reverse proof (relative to U.S. Mint); that is, the fields were satin and the design was mirrored.
