Timeless. Beautiful design (and awesome photos once again) I'm so glad that the RCM do not change the maple leaf design from year to year |

That is a nice Britannia coin Silverbug. How much did you pay for that? I could not find one for < $600.

The gilded Britannia can be had for under $200
if it's the gold gilded "silhouette" proof version then the price will be close to $500

I got the gilded one around $70, the year 2000 one with some marks, I got it at j & m for $34, they thought it's a normal round and sold it for spot+1

IMO a much better design than the walking liberty of American Silver Eagles as well. I also like that they alternate the designs of the odd-year issues. If only The Royal Mint stuck to that rule more thoroughly, the set would look more complete (most of even year issue Britannias - 2002,04,06, etc. - feature the design pictured, while the odd-years was different each time around. One of the exceptions being the 2010 issue, which is also my least favorite design out of the whole lot) |

2008 this design is skipped too, fortunately it's back again in 2012 issue. need to mention that britannia mintage is 100,000 each year  |

Beautiful set! I've been eying the same set for a while now and just couldn't pull the trigger.
Yah, don't know what happened from 2008 on, a new 2008 and a different recycled 2009 design,... Still beautiful coins though.
