Alright. I've been filling my alloted CCF Photo Gallery with hundreds of pictures of coins. For the most part I think I've done alright, but I wanted to show this picture around, and see what everyone thought.

The dark yellowish spot on the centre of the coin is on the coin itself, and not a result of my spotty photography. This poor example came unprotected in a lot of five other Silver Rounds. Cost: $14.00

I need the 97 with the same reverse design as the 99 to complete my collection of Britannia's. I have the 99 with the standing Britanna on it but not the chariot reverse

Here are two I purchased a couple of years ago, they look like proofs but weren't advertised as such.

Bonedigger it looks like yours are the proof version to me because all the UNC versions I have seen were shiny like US Proofs and the proof Britannia's are reverse proof like yours. I will snap a few pictures of the proofs and UNC I have in my collection so you can see the difference

You're right, the difference is quite clear. Thanks for posting them.

Ooooh, I really have to have one of the 2007, with the Lion on it. >< Where's the best place to find these? My local dealer doesn't carry World Silver unless someone comes in and sells off things they've bought previously.

hmm first I would ask Bigfella since he is a forum member here and if he doesn't have any (which I highly doubt would be the case since he lives in Australia) there are a few online sites that carries them (not sure of the sites right off hand). But I must tell you the 2001 also has a lion on it, here is a picture of the 2001
