All that effort and they fail to screw the capsule together properly half the time on proofs, also doesn't cover the bit where they sprinkle milk spot dust on the silver coin before leaving the mint

It's a marketing piece - a good general guide, but they don't show you where the staff at the Mint don't bother to properly check quality etc on the Proofs.

@kimchi ok, maybe just to add the value of 3 coin types ?

Lol.

its an understanding piece

Ok so after seeing and feeling a britannia yesterday, i had to go back to get one from HattonG
