Gary, I'm assuming you're collecting the UNC version? I was at The Royal Mint website and was looking at the proof and its a low mintage of 2500 so I ordered one. I don't know whether you're int in proofs but just thought of letting u know. |

2500 is very low.
I'll check out the web site, and then check out my finances. Maybe I can order one.

Just ordered the proof coin from the mint.
Seems like a good investment, and certainly a beautiful coin to add to my collection.

Bought some air tite holders today from my local coin dealer. Fit was perfect. Now, I'm half finished with my display problem. I have them encapsulated, now comes the search for an attractive show and storage case.

Good to know. I think I'll store them in air-tites and display in a Nova stack tray.

I was wondering if you received your proof coin from the mint yet?
I also ordered one and am anxious to get it. I'm sure it will be beautiful, plus 2500 is a very low mintage.

The above post was made a week ago.
I am still waiting to hear from the mint regarding my proof coin order.
Has anyone else ordered the same coin? If so, has it arrived?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link.
I'll have to do a little saving in order to buy them, but they look nice.

Thanks for the information.
We will be out of the country for a little vacation. Maybe the coin will have arrived by the time we get back.
Again, thanks.

Gary, I received an email from The Royal Mint stating the britannia was shipped. Hope you received a similar email. |

Just returned from the Carribean, and the coin was in the mail.
Very nice. Well worth waiting for.
I was thinking they would mint 2,500, however the number increases to 6,000 when "special sets" are added. Doesn't really matter because I didn't purchase it for an investment. Just something to enjoy.
I hope yours has arrived also.
