I'm gonna have to wait on the bullets. I ended up buying 20 ounces from my good friend Silverhawk and now I need to wait. If you decide you want one Nate let me know and i'll order 11 instead of 10 when I do order. I can't wait till they come out with the other sizes too. Maybe like a 1/2 oz 9 mm cartridge would be cool, 50 to a box or 25 ounces.

Haul from Saturday and today. My first 5 ouncer, 1988, 1989 and 2013 ASE's and a 1 oz Englehard. The 88 and 89 look better in person, still working on taking pics of coins   Edited by Lion4Life

I got in some 2013 bullion today in an order: Eagles, Maples, and Britannias. The Britannia looks terrible. Auptpdag1995 mentioned earlier that they were having production issues with the new 999 fine Britannias and it really shows. The coin isn't damaged, but it has a lot of spotting like the Maples get. This was my favorite series, I wonder how it will be going forward.

@SDCow - Sorry to hear about the Britannias. I think it would be less of an issue if they didn't command such a stiff premium from the get go . . . I think I may have to hoard *all* the MS70s when they come out ;-)

Yes, you are right. If they were three bucks over, I wouldn't really care. Not a big deal for me, just thought I would share in case others were curious. I wonder if most of them are like this? More importantly for me as a collector of this series, I wonder if they are going to still continue changing the design every other year, or if we are going to see this design each year now that they've switched from Britannia silver.

I'm assuming they keep the designs changing. We can only hope whoever the 'genius' was in charge of their quality control isn't also in charge of their design.  |

Yeah, I'm not sure since 2012 and 2013 are the same design. I guess changing the composition and size was enough for one year.

Yeah, I didn't like that, I think the design for 2011 was REALLY good, and if they had come up with another great one AND did it right, the switch over to the higher purity would have been a big success for them, and people would have maybe been more forgiving about the diameter change . . . maybe LOL

@Lion4Life: I have been thinking about picking up some of those 5oz SilverTowne pours, what do you think of the one you received?

I have those 2013 Brits the week they were released and none of the problems that have been discussed at a UK coin dealers blog are on them. I just wonder if its a machine problem during production because I got a bunch of them and they look perfect and beautiful which I was surprised when I read that blog and seen the pics. I think the UK Royal Mint will get their act together and its just a minor hiccup. |
