I just received my first Britannia silver 2 Pd.commem and I love it.
This is my first experience with dark side coins and I'm anxiously looking foward to getting the rest of this series.
Sorry I can't send a pic. Just look at Cosmic Debris' icon...Twowood

These coins are awesome... I searched all over at the Long Beach show for some silver ones and didn't find a single one. A very beautiful series of coins that I still need to purchase.....

They are quite nice,I like the reverse frost effect they use in their design.

If you like it, there are alot of other attractive and moderately priced British coins out there...spend some time looking for them at coin shows or surf ebay. The Edward VII Florins as well as the Gothic Victorian Florins are real eye catchers.

Pandaamerica?!!

Many moons ago I bought some gold rounds from them. Gold went up about 40% and I tried to sell them back and they said they don't buy "gold panda" coins. Ahem, they forgot they sold them I guess.

They used to [maybe still do] have a shop at home type of show hawking worthless foreign proof sets, used Rolexs and other marginal material. They are down there in the much along with the Coin Vault.

I dunno, I got all my panda and year of gold coins through their e-bay auctions at very good prices. Just cause someone sells gold, doesnt mean they buy it from people. I have never seen their show, so cant comment on that.

TommyB · January 6, 2003 2:59PM

I found www.kelleyscoins.com to be about the most reasonable. Panda I always thought was high.

ara · January 6, 2003 9:16PM

The 2003 pandas are out. I've seen listings on eBay.

The Britannia are awesome coins... recently acquired a 1987 gold proof set with all documentation at a very good price..... just beautiful. Cheers, RickO

They are beautiful coins, as are many foreign coins. Are they considered simply bullion, or are they actually collected as a series?

Those coins are nice, i have a 1998 2pd Silver proof as well, I like the reverse proof look to it.

Twowood · January 7, 2003 12:58AM

Looks like Britannias are available thru www.royalmint.com, $19.50 for the 1oz. Silver 2 Pounder Twowood

The Numish (Jay) deals in Brittanias too, possibly just the gold version tho.

prooflike · January 7, 2003 1:25AM

Yo! This intrusion of darkside stuff is totally unacceptable...

They are neat coins.

<< <i>ara, what is the gold coin at the bottom of your posts? >>

It is actually a medal by William Wyon. Click on my signature 'trozau' and it will take you to my eBay about me page where a full description of the medal is given.

does anyone know how big the &2 (2-pound) coin is in diameter (mm)? Will it fit in a dollar holder?

ara · January 7, 2003 4:34AM

<< <i>does anyone know how big the &2 (2-pound) coin is in diameter (mm)? Will it fit in a dollar holder? >>

Same size as the American Silver Eagle coin (40 mm).

<< <i>does anyone know how big the &2 (2-pound) coin is in diameter (mm)? Will it fit in a dollar holder? >>

The 2002 Britannia is a hair larger than the dollar.However. it fits comfotably in the dollar holder. Twowood

Russ · January 7, 2003 4:51AM

1907,

The coin is 40MM, which I believe is the same diameter as the SAE.

EDIT: Damn, I should refresh before responding. You guys are quick!

My sweet little ladies.

For full info on all the modern Britannia coins you can go HERE..

BY the way this just came in yesterday.

The "reverse proof" 2 pound Britannia is actually the Unc version. The Proof version has the traditional mirror fields and frosted devices.

Luvdawgs · January 7, 2003 12:59PM

Thanks for the link to Britannia info, cosmic. btw, nice coin you have there!

Twowood · January 12, 2003 2:38AM

Any idea when the 2003 2£ will be coming out? Twowood

cosmicdebris · January 12, 2003 2:48AM

2003 try October or November.

ara · January 12, 2003 2:49AM

If the BRM continues the way they have been, it won't be until late October or early November before the 2003 Britannias come out. The 2002 Britannias just came out within the last quarter of 2002. Strange, huh?

MrKelso · January 12, 2003 2:53AM

Do the Britannia's come in 1/20 oz gold size?

ara · January 12, 2003 2:53AM

Smallest size is 1/10 oz.
