There are a few raw and graded ones on sale on the Bay of E. Might need to get me 1 or 2.

I love the Britannia design! Very nice.

Got me one!! Might have it graded on site in Baltimore.

Wow... I thought there would be more talk about this major screw up from the Royal Mint. I have one coin in hand and it will be graded in Baltimore next weekend.

It's pretty cool...but the curmudgeon in me wonders how much of a mistake is it in the modern era...and how/why they would 'let them out'. That said, if they had managed to get the horse on one side and Britannia on the other I'd be all over it. . Seriously, though it is pretty cool.

Hmm, Baltimore. It's only a little over 4 hours away. I'm working the weekend in March, but not the June and October weekends...methinks I need to start plotting.

Uhh, wasn't that a RM "error" on the 2011 matte coins?

I tend to agree with last post, IMO they do a lot of [errr...] marketing nowadays...

Do you think PCGS will include this is the Britannia registry set?
