2010 £2 Silver Britannias

Hey everybody.... I placed the order the other day and I should receive the coins on or before 2/5/2010.

I will be submitting several to NGC also, so let me know if you are interested in a certified version and how much you would offer for a coin in the MS67 - MS70(wishfull thinking) range.

I will be shipping, once they arrive, in a first paid, first shipped order.

I have updated the thread here with prices. First post.

My prices are more than competitive, especially when compared to the UK mint's prices. About $50 ea.

I wish that I could have had gotten better prices, like last year, but with silver on the rise and the USD on the way down, this was the best I could do.

    I'm really missing that favorable dollar/pound exchange rate and low silver prices we had last year. image Please put me down for three this year.

    31... looking good! I'm hoping that the silver price will keep falling and the USD will keep up the recent rally (I know it is short term, but every little bit helps)!!

    Here is something off-topic but interesting.

    I was watching a movie yesterday with the wife and I saw a preview for a movie called "In Rome."

    In the preview there is a scene where a silver £2 Britannia goes into a fountain in Rome. I could see the front of the coin, but wasn't able to see what year it was because the clip didn't show a full rotation of the coin.

    First I thought "how cool, it is my favorite silver coin series in a movie!"

    Then I thought "what the hell was somebody thinking to throw a valueable coin like that in fountain!"

    Anyways...

    I have placed the order with the mint and they are telling me that it should arrive in about 3 weeks.

    I will update this thread with the costs once I know for sure how much it will cost me, with fx fees, shipping, etc...

    I will also be submitting about 10 or 20 to NGC for slabbing, for any of you that are interested in the slabbed version.

    Glad I could do it!

    I plan on doing it for 2011 as well.

    I also plan on getting a few of the 2010 proofs when they come out about Jun, so please let me know if anybody would be interested in the 2010 proofs as well.

    Still have them available for those of you who are interested.

    Mine arrived today. Thanks again for making these available!

    Is it just me, or does it look like a different finish was used for the Queen's portrait than on previous BU Britannias? It looks like more of a matte finish this year. I like it; it doesn't show wear as readily as the polished versions of years past.

    I had the same observation, these coins do have more of a matte finish this year.


    BTW...I've got some the NGC MS69 versions of these now and they are listed on my FS thread
