Gilded Britannia silver - cool or cr*p?

[SilverAsh]

So been stacking for a bit, not a collector. Usually collect Britannias and the aim is alway to get the cheapest unit price possible over any one year/design. But...... I keep seeing these gold gilded ones available. Which look quite pretty, but double or even triple the price for what amounts to an extra atom thin layer of gold. Do any of you rate them? Image below is for reference only. I'm not paying that!

£80 + postage is a lot of money for a humble 2012 silver britannia.

Having the extra gold gilding does not justify 4 times the price of a non gilded coin.

I don't rate these at all !!

Exactly my point. They look cute, but it's a bit home network shopping channel for me. I'd happily pick one up if the price was close enough to to spot.

Where can you get them from?

[Tattoedamat]

They turn up on eBay now and again or or the forum European mint orders had them listed under collectors coins be warned ££££ from dealers

Does the Royal Mint do the gilding? That would be be acceptable although I wouldn't pay much more than for a regular Brit. If a third party does the gilding than it's simply an altered coin and takes away from the original value.

I agree with this- and it’s the same for coloured coins: a massive premium for what amounts to a sticker!
