2014 5oz proof Britannia

[mr-dead]

Just pre ordered my first bit of silver at last

 

A 2014 proof 5oz proof Britannia -

 

 

 

A mintage of only 600 and over 60% sold out all ready.

 

Due delivery is next month so will post up some pics when it gets delivered.

 

A steep premium at £395 but at a 600 mintage I reckon its a safe bet (hopefully)

 

p.s looks like Britannia is now a hot piece of ass

Looks a stunner MD put a photo up when it arrives

[Luker2]

Sweet,  I ordered one as well today. Contemplating picking up a second when my next paycheck arrives,

with thoughts of  flipping it in 5 years, or gifting it to someone special.

  

Cheers,

Luker

I've already given my 6 coin set to my son, it is nice but doesn't really fit in with my collection. The 5ozer looks stunning but I daren't buy it.

Can you buy it, and then adopt me.

 

Cracking coin, but at that price...OUCH!

[HelpingHands]

I've only seen the proof 5oz RM horse in person and that looked cracking so I expect this will too. 

[motorbikez]

I'd wager the coin is stunning in the flesh but I don't collect the 5ozers

[Danny-boy]

Ooh, I'd be pissed if I had ordered one of these.

Mintage is 1350, not the 600 first thought.

[Danny-boy]

Email from the Royal Mint.....

Thank you for your email

Please accept my sincere apologies for the online print error.

The Maximum Coin Mintage for this coin is 1350. The Limited Edition Presentation is 600.

I have contacted the web department to update their information immediately.

Kind Regards

By the sounds of things, you won't be the only one.

[mr-dead]

oops - wrong link sorry

[watchesandwhisky]

some kind of price raising tactic for next years coins? price says £450 and all sold out , but it wasn't at that price they sold out at...well thats prob the price of next years coin there.

 

Underhand tactics from the royal mint. 

 

They do make amongst the worlds most beautiful coins though.

[mr-dead]

just got off the phone to Royal Mint after cancelling my order.

 

The 600 mintage is the "UK mintage limit" not the international limit.

 

Really

[Razz]

On other forums the same discussion is going  on   people who bought the coin and  assumed the mintage was 600

in the end it is  1350 more than double .     --750 slabbed en graded (where are these coins?) the rest -the lesser coins sold in a nice box to the public .

it is a beautifull  and exclusive  coin and there is absolutely no need to play these games with customers

i was on the edge of ordering one but i skip  this one --------

Bit like the barman in Only Fools and Horses selling Rodney the last remaining tickets for the forthcoming party only to use the same patter to the next client.

[UKSILVERCOINS]

As of the 27th September 2014 there was 78 of the 5oz Proof and 1174 of the 1oz Proof remaining.

Need to bag that 5oz quick sharpish

[Cornishfarmer]

Really like the look of these, but put off buy the talk about milk spotting already (along with lot of rm products) and getting sub standard coins when returned.

[Kman]

Just watched this video, looks really stunning actually 

 

[HelpingHands]

I think I prefer the deathstar on the 1oz. Better contrast with Britannia.

I totally agree, looks much better.

[UKSILVERCOINS]

My finger has been hovering over the buy it now for last 8 hours

Remember to check with seller to ensure the coin is in perfect condition. I got mine from Royal Mint directly and had to return it for a replacement due to milk spot issue.

The high relief is just stunning!
