Hello all
I've just received a year 2000 Anno Domini Millennium coin that I purchased on ebay. I bought it as a standard Cupro Nickel coin but now I'm not sure if I have the silver proof version. The British Isles on the back of the coin is in gold. This doesn't seem to be very accurately applied and at first I thought someone had coloured it in with a pen! The "what's past is prologue" around the edge is raised. Can anyone confirm if this is the silver version?
Thanks
Craig

Sounds like you have the Silver proof version - I don't think there is a Cupro version with the gold gilding on the British isles, whereas there definately is a silver version with that. I've noticed before sometimes the gilding on the Silver proofs isn't great, applied fairly inaccurately.

Guessing it cost far less than melt for 1 oz of silver - good find!
