<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 1410835, member: 34882&quot;]1) No idea on that one, I believe the Britannia in this set was produced only for this set and&nbsp; not released separately but I can&#039;t find any info on if they sold all&nbsp; 50,000 units. Perhaps past U.S. Mint sales data could be located with&nbsp; this info?</p><p>&nbsp;2)[ATTACH]170785.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]170786.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>3)January 28, 2004 release date for the set originally so I don&#039;t think they had time to package,etc using 2004 ASE&#039;s. The interesting part about the Britannia from the U.S. Mint press release</p><p>&#039;The Britannia Silver Coin, considered to be in “uncirculated” condition&nbsp; by the British Royal Mint, is what the United States Mint designates as&nbsp; a “reverse proof” finish, with a mirror-like image and frosted&nbsp; background.&nbsp; Production of the 2002 £2 Britannia is limited to a maximum&nbsp; mintage of 100,000 coins.&nbsp; Unlike United States coins, whose minting&nbsp; and issuance must cease at years’ end, the British Royal Mint may&nbsp; continue to issue 2002 Britannias until this maximum mintage has been&nbsp; reached.&#039;</p><p>So I guess the UK can mint in any year as long as they don&#039;t exceed the years predetermined max mintage. The mintage figures for the 2002 Britannia are 48,816,Standing&nbsp;&nbsp; Britannia and where I got this info there is no proof mintage figure listed for that year <a href="http://www.silverbullionworld.com/britanniamintage.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.silverbullionworld.com/britanniamintage.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.silverbullionworld.com/britanniamintage.html</a>&nbsp; Anyways the Britannia in this set is absolutely stunning, my quick photos don&#039;t really do the coin justice at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
