<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 357452, member: 9474&quot;]For some reason, I just got an urge to get this set out again today.&nbsp; For those of you who are not aware of what the set is, back in 2003-2004, the US mint released a set that featured both a 2003 UNC ASE and a 2002 UNC Britannia 2 pound silver coin.&nbsp; What made this set so exciting was that the British 2 pound had a &quot;reverse proof&quot; look to it.&nbsp; Still after 3+ years these coins are still gorgeous.&nbsp; The ASE has absolutely no toning to it.&nbsp; The luster is incredible - one of the best I&#039;ve seen on one of these coins.&nbsp; Cartwheels dance around this coin like they own it.&nbsp; The Britannia is stunning.&nbsp; The reverse proof look to it is incredible - although it is considered UNC.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know anything about British coins, but this coin is so gorgeous that it would make any grown man or woman weep.&nbsp; I get a tear every time I look at it. :kewl:&nbsp; </p><p>Here is a link to see one on ebay since I don&#039;t have a camera to take pictures. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-Legacies-of-Freedom-Silver-Bullion-Coin-Set_W0QQitemZ300214146992QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39488QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-Legacies-of-Freedom-Silver-Bullion-Coin-Set_W0QQitemZ300214146992QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39488QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-Legacies-of-Freedom-Silver-Bullion-Coin-Set_W0QQitemZ300214146992QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39488QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do have a question for the CT community.... the ASE weighs 31.10 grams and is .999 fine silver (1 oz.)&nbsp; The Britannia is 32.45 grams and is .958 Britannia Silver.&nbsp; What is the difference between fine silver and Britannia silver? Both coins say 1 oz on them, but the ASE is .999 and the Brit is .958 - does the weight difference have anything to do with the silver content?&nbsp; Thanks for everyone&#039;s input.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let me know what you all think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
