oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/18/2012 4:15 pm My Britannia's arrived yesterday and are they beautiful! So, I decided to do a little research in them (2000 & 2003) only to discover that the 2000 are considered UNCIRCULATED and NOT the Reverse Proof (satin fields & reflective devices). How can this be an uncirculated when it (IMO) is a proof finish? Here are the numbers (from one website since they vary somewhat from others); Silver Britannia 1oz Coins Britannia 2011 .......................... 100,000.......Billowing Union Flag Britannia 2010 .......................... 100,000.......Corinthian Helmet Britannia 2009 .......................... 100,000.......Chariot Britannia 2008 .......................... 100,000.......Britannia on the Beach Britannia 2007 .......................... 100,000.......Seated Britannia & Lion Britannia 2006 .......................... 100,000.......Standing Britannia Britannia 2005 .......................... 100,000.......Seated Britannia Britannia 2004 .......................... 100,000.......Standing Britannia Britannia 2003 ........................... 73,271........Britannia's Helmet Britannia 2002 ........................... 48,816........Standing Britannia Britannia 2001 ........................... 44,816........Una and the Lion Britannia 2000 ........................... 81,301........Standing Britannia Britannia 1999 ........................... 69,394........Chariot Britannia 1998 ........................... 88,909........Standing Britannia Proof Britannia 1oz Coins Britannia 2011 .......................... 2,500..........Billowing Union Flag Britannia 2010 .......................... 2,500..........Corinthian Helmet Britannia 2009 .......................... 2,500..........Chariot Britannia 2008 .......................... 2,500..........Britannia on the Beach Britannia 2007 .......................... 2,500..........Seated Britannia & Lion Britannia 2006 .......................... 2,500..........Standing Britannia Britannia 2005 .......................... 1,539..........Seated Britannia Britannia 2004 .......................... 2,174..........Standing Britannia Britannia 2003 .......................... 2,016..........Britannia's Helmet Britannia 2001 .......................... 3,047..........Una and the Lion Britannia 1998 .......................... 2,168..........Standing Britannia Britannia 1997 .......................... 4,173..........Standing Britannia http://silverbullionworld.com/brita...mintage.html (Same type coin, different lighting) 2000 Britannia NGC MS69 Edited by oih82w8 09/18/2012 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Clint Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 09/18/2012 9:11 pm Yes, I've read elsewhere that is indeed Brit version of UNC. Perhaps in discussion re: the "friends of liberty" set with a 2002 Brit and 2003 ASE packaged together. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverhawk74 Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 01:07 am The camera can never capture the true beauty of a reverse proof image. A real nice set you have there, one amazing collection various years and designs.... Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 04:15 am the earlier ones did have a Reverse proof look to them even though they didn't call it that. If you look at these pictures of mine you will see the difference between the early ones and the later ones I have always liked the looks of the earlier pieces to the later ones. I believe 2000 is the latest they used this RP look on the Britannia as this is a 2001 and as you see above the 2000 had the RP look to it Report this Post to the Staff
