Noah's Ark, Eagles or Philharmonic

Hey guys,

I'm going to make a final "huge" order before the brexit/bremain vote (and the potential collapse of the pound !) and I'm really hesitant about what to chose. I could split my purchase and buy all 3 but I get a much better deal if I just buy a large quantity of just one type of coin (it's a no brainer when you look at the prices). I currently only have Maple Leaves so I'm not considering them.

So what are your take on these 3 coins (especially curious to have your take on the Noah's Ark, for some reason they do not seem as popular as the other two and yet they also are government-backed).

What would be the easier ones to resell ? What would be the one that would potentially acquire some semi-numismatic value over the years ? Which 

It's the first time I am going to make such a large order to I would really appreciate some advices!

What about the potential strength of the pound and fall in gold/silver if/when we vote for Bremain?

Here in the States the three least expensive government issued coins that I can find, are in this order:

1. 2015 Philharmonic (Not the 2016)

2. 2016 Noah's Ark

3. 2016 Britannia

They have been fluctuating around the $1.69 - $1.89 over spot where as the Silver Eagles were just "on sale" at $2.39 over spot at one vendor I use often. I am going for weight and for what I like, and I think the Britannia and the Noah's Ark are both far more attractive than the Philharmonics. The Silver Eagles, they don't seem to have squat for a numismatic play hardly at all, at least not over here. Of all of those, Noah's Ark being minted by Geiger and it's beautiful appearance has it my #1 fav at this time.

I have all 3 in my stack.

Practically, it doesn't really matter, so stack what coin appeals to you the most! The ASE is probably the safest bet, I mean, anyone who knows anything about silver coins will recognise an ASE.

Brexit most likely won't happen (stay is 75% most likely result), so don't be surprised to wake up on Friday and see nothing has changed! 

The Ark is the least recognised.. I mean, Armenia? c'mon. They even have to outsource the minting. Having said that, I do like the Arks in my stack.

It's a win win situation for me (or a lose lose situation, depends how you look at it :D ). Should Britain remain in the EU (and I hope so!), I get to keep my job (90% of our clients are based in France/Germany/Italy). Should we vote out, at least I will have my silver !
