WTB: NGC, PCGS (or raw) MS69 silver britannias: 1998, 2007, 2008

As many of you know I collect silver britannias in NGC/PCGS MS69. I'm down to the last few (1998, 2007, 2008).

I'm willing to buy a raw coin if you think it's got a decent shot at MS69 (I'd like to see large photos if possible). The main problems with these coins tend to be scuffy areas on the Queen's cheeks and other high areas, and fine hairlines from packaging rub. If you've got one of those dates that you think might meet my standards, please let me know.

And obviously, if you've got those dates graded MS69, I'm interested in them! Even if you're not interested in selling it now, please let me know if you've got one.



ALSO: If anyone's got a pretty, British Victorian sovereign with the St. George reverse that they'd like to trade for a nice 1832 PCGS XF-45 Bust Half Dollar, drop me a line and some pics.
FSH OR TRADE: CBH - 1832 PCGS XF-45 Small Letters Bust Half Dollar; O-108, Reverse B

Ron's a great seller - I've bought from him a few times - but he doesn't have the britannias I need in the grade I need.

WTB: NGC, PCGS (or raw) MS69 silver britannias: 1998, 2007, 2008

Best of luck ... I sent in some 2008s a two weeks ago and will be sending in some more 2007s in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the best I have done so far on any of my submissions is MS68. It would be nice if the Royal Mint packaged the Britannias better than they presently do. Will let you know if I score anything on these submissions ... but it might be a while on turnaround.
