Here are some quick snaps of the silver proof set found here: http://royalmint.com/newdesigns/UKF8SPS_m.aspx
I know my photos are not as great as the mint's! My cell phone camera can only do so much. Enjoy. The fiberglass case made this set even more difficult to photograph, I had to take a few shots of one side.

Does anyone have the gold and/or platinum sets? Post some photos please!

These coins are just like the old ones, but worse :( The fifty pence one isn't bad but the other designs....

I almost feel I'm looking at those coins under a microscope--never getting the big picture.

Yes, point taken I do find these coins interesting. That said, it's still a controversial design and people are bound check in with their opinions.

Bullonious,

I absolutely LOVE (love, love, love, enormously love) silver proof coins!
Perhaps even a little bit obsessively! Thank you so much for posting these photos.
You must be very pleased with your purchases, and we appreciate you sharing with us.

Snooba.

I suppose I'm a lousy collector...I spend more time researching coins than acquiring. However, I'm pretty happy with my finds.
Bullonious, those are great coins. I do plan on getting a set myself.
