satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 10:40 pm Is this the first year of the half ounce Brit coin? I found one but they wanted over $60 for it. I said no because that's way over silver. Anyway, is this the first year? Will Report this Post to the Staff

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 11:37 am The Royal Mint does a Britannia proof set that includes a one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce and tenth ounce coin. If you've seen a Britannia half ounce then it was probably a proof, hence the higher cost. In any case, Royal Mint products tend to be overpriced. I haven't yet seen a 2013 half-ounce Britannia. The Royal Mint has been making the proof set for years though. Edited by Demarco Bishopp 05/07/2013 11:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 11:47 am I don't think the Britannia is very popular among investors. It's minted in relatively small quantities, only about 100,000 per year. Compare that to the Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle where you get millions upon millions minted each year.
