Full set of PF70’s for the 2006 1/4 oz Britannia set.

My Kiwis are back

Compared to what some of other Forum members have been taking delivery of recently, my latest acquisition really seems like very "small beer", but as a recent convert to the joys of the Kookaburra Series I have to say that I'm very pleased with the 2019 coin
All of the ones in the Series that I have managed to pick up in the last couple of months are really good-looking coins, but the ones from the last decade or so I consider to be truly exquisite - superbly detailed and of the highest quality (and this one cost me less than £20, even including Signed for Delivery, and it came with a good quality capsule - happy days!)

Nice 10oz bull and some of the 2019 1oz royal arms coins. They are definitely one of the best looking (reasonably priced) 1ozers I've seen. 

Here are Perth Mint's definition of Proofs Bu's and Specimen coins,I've added a few coins to hopefully clarify things,the proofs are all on the left of the photos
 
 
Proof Coin
The very highest quality collectable coin produced by The Perth Mint.  Featuring a proof finish comprising a highly-polished table with frosted and/or coloured design elements.
Bullion Coin
A mass produced coin primarily aimed at precious metal investors. Finished with shiny design elements on a frosted table.

Specimen Coin
A collectable coin akin to a bullion coin with a frosted table, but also featuring one or more special numismatic treatments, including colour, gilding, antiquing, or the insertion of gems.

RAM's interpretations of proof and Bu,s also known as UNC/uncirculated.
 
Proof
A carefully struck coin using special dies with either a mirror‑like or matt finish. These coins are especially struck and the term is not used to describe a well‑preserved circulating coin. Proof is a method of manufacture, not a condition or grade.
  Uncirculated (UNC)
Uncirculated coins are manufactured in much the same way as circulated coins except for the following:
More attention and time is given to the preparation of the die surface finish, The coins are struck with greater pressure than the circulating coins to improve the sharpness of the design. More care and attention is applied at each step in the coining process to minimise damage, consequently a much lower production rate of about 30,000 coins per press per day is achieved. Uncirculated coins are packaged individually into plastic sleeves, presentation folders or occasionally presentation cases.

I hope this helps clarify things.

Picked up this graded Sir Isaac Newton 50p on Australian eBay. This version is dated 2018 whereas all the other Sir Isaac Newron coins are dated 2017. The 2018 was a result of the Royal Mint experience tour when in 2018 you could strike your own coin, so you came out with this dated 2018. Understand that there are 19,934 of these. 
Love the design on this 50p. 

Been led astray once again. Thanks @Jimmock for these nicely presented silver coins.
