Britannia 2021 premium exclusive 1oz BU coin

[Scootermuppet]

Hi all,

spotted this today - I know, I’m late to the party!

Wondering what your thoughts were on this one, as it’s the first time a separate design has been used? Likely to be one to put away for a while? 🤔 and 7,500? Is that considered a low mintage in the scheme of these things?

Be interested to hear what you ‘old hands’ think☺️
Cheers,
Bob

I wonder if anyone's done analysis of mintage size vs appreciation over spot

this one seems like that's not a small mintage and I don't know what "premium exclusive" means when it's just for sale on a website for anyone to buy

[Scootermuppet]

I think it's referring to the fact the design is only for that bu coin? 🤔

If you want this coin id say the 2oz proof with 550 mintage is the one to get - costs more obviously but the 2oz size and proof finish is amazing.

....and out of my budget unfortunately.

Not sure there's any left on the RM site anyway 🤔

Nice to have but not at that price

[Scootermuppet]

The 2oz Proof? Or the one I pictured...?

No unfortunately not, they sold out on the first day I believe. 

[Scootermuppet]

Which is why I was asking about the BU 1oz version... 😏

Doesn’t sound like anyone rates it much then...?

I bought one as the proof was gone and find it VERY attractive - certainly artistically IMO superior to the standard 2021 Proof Britannia. That one really is atrocious - even though I bought one to keep the series up. In case there be a doubter, cone in on the face of the standard Britannia - OUCH!!!! Just horrible.

Looks like 'buy what you like' applies to most forms of collecting 😊

Any 'diehard' stackers have an opinion on if the coin might be a good investment? Seeing as it's the first one of its type?

(I know it'll never be as valuable as a Proof etc, but hey - us newbie stackers on a budget have to start somewhere 😏)

I purchased the coin specifically because it is the first and only of it's type produced by RM.  I'm anticipating that it will be a one off and the RM will return to the original Britannia image.

Thanks DJ, that was kinda my thought as well...

Even the 1 OZ is a really nice coin. For sure, the 2 OZ is another level. But the 1 OZ is also an outstanding coin with the same unique design, first in the premium line and really, really nice to watch. Maybe the mintage is a little bit to high, but they will find their way into collectors hands. And as longer a coin is in stock, more collectors than flippers are on it. And a collector hardly will let this go again. In a long turn, they will be hard to find for a good price. I believe not only a must have for beginners with small budget, this design should be in every Britannia collection.
