Welcome Steve, I'm also a fellow Britannia collector.

There's a ton of info on the 1oz variations here - https://britannia-uk.com/britannia 

Happy collecting! 

15 variations wow, I'm missing some from my site. Were they all official?

I notice they also have a dragon privy variant

They do indeed, they actually do a dragon privy for all of the series III, including a unique privy for the 2020 mouse

Yeah just the 1oz for my collection, fractional stuff tends to have crazy premiums 

Just spotted this on a Canadian site, it's the first image that I've seen of the 2024 and looks legit.

This has to be one of my favourite collections at the moment.

If anyone spots someone selling in the UK, please do tag me!

I have done searches before for the 1997 Britannia but all I find are proof ones.  I am a bit confused.  The site says 16,005 Mintage in the Regular section and then under Proof it says - 4,173 Individual Mintage and 11,832 Set Mintage which totals 16,005, so if the goal my Britannia collection is not to have proofs, then I can skip the 1997 one, right?

Yes you're correct. I'm wondering if I should remove the 1997 from the bullion section as it might be confusing.

It's only available in proof, as others have mentioned. I personally bought thr 1997 4 coin set and then sold the fractionals coins, just keeping the 1oz. Ended up saving quite a bit compared to buying an individual 1997.

If you're a Brit fan, feel free to check out my site - https://britannia-uk.com/britannia

I'm a big fan myself !

Postage?🤔😮😁

£3.50 from Chards, I picked one up along with another coin so not too bad and better than RM price

Just seen that RM is taking orders for the Britannia and Liberty 2024 1oz silver and wanted to get opinions on if this would fall into the Britannia range of coins. I think that it's stand alone, rather than being a 'Britannia' but at the same time, it could also be classed as a variation of Brit. 

Also, RM is so expensive, £33.40 for 1oz of bullion silver, does anyone think that other UK retailers will sell any cheaper?

I found this one, shame the picture of the coin isnt great, cant seem to find it anywhere else

Yes, I think that one was a different coin. The one I got is the same design as the bullion one but struck 3 times to BU standard and comes with a COA. I believe it's the only way to have got that design in BU standard so I would expect the mintage to be very low.

very interesting, I can't seem to find anything online about the BU with COA version. Any chance you have a link as I'd love to add this to my site if it exists

Any idea how many 2023 BU Britannias could have been made? They were exclusive SYO coins on RM VIP tours.

Ate you sure? I'm think I remember ordering a 2023 BU direct from the mint website. I don't believe they've released any mintages yet.

If you're ever unsure, I maintain this site of all Silver Britannias.

Do you know any UK dealer doing the zombucks coins ? Always fancied them but never seen them in the UK to buy at a reasonable price. 

Sadly I don't. I bought the 1st as a complete set from ebay and got the first 2 of the second set from a FB group. The 3rd is proving more difficult to source right now

Here's some of my favourites, all from South Korea (Komsco):

Zi-Sin - https://britannia-uk.com/zi-sin

Chiwoo Cheongwang - https://britannia-uk.com/chiwoo-cheonwang

Goddess (new series) - https://britannia-uk.com/goddess

I'm also a fan of Zombucks - https://britannia-uk.com/zombucks and Molon Labe https://britannia-uk.com/molon-labe

Thanks. I did check but unfortunately he's taking a step back from sales I believe. If you spot any, do let me know and I will do the same!

I'm struggling to find anyone in the UK that has the new 2024 Zombucks Kangaruin and most US dealers don't seem to ship to the UK.

Does anyone know of any deals or sellers that have this in stock?

thanks, I figured that was the case, it was the Numista site that caused me to doubt myself about these collections. Much appreciated.

I am struggling to understand the 2024 Lunar coins series coming from both the Royal Aus Mint and Perth Mint. 

As far as I knew, the RAM started a Lunar series in 2020 and have released the Mouse, Ox, Tiger and Rabbit - https://britannia-uk.com/ram-lunar

The Perth Mint started their Series III in the same year obviously with different designs - https://britannia-uk.com/perth-lunar#SeriesIII

When looking for the 2024 release, I can only seem to find the 2024 Dragon from the Perth Mint, but I don't see a release from the RAM. 

When I look on Numista, they seem to mix the RAM and Perth mints together, labelling them as both under the Series III Lunar collection - for example, they list this as part of the Series III despite it being from RAM - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces355589.html

Does anyone know if there is a 2024 Lunar from RAM and why Numista might be combining all Lunar into the Series III tag?

Thanks!

are you able to get a clearer picture of the top image?

Also, what is the item and any idea of it's country of origin?

This is a stunning collection and although I have researched Panda's quite a lot, I didn't realise all of the variations between mints and finishes.

Thanks for this link DavidE

No worries, personally I really like the Korean stuff, especially the Zi-Sin
