Britannia errors

[paulmerton]

Bullion by Post have added some juicy Britannia errors to their eBay store.

Currently all of the uniface ones show the exact same image for the flat obverse so it's hard to tell what you're actually buying even at those prices...

ooof, many many ££££££££

Interesting - I have seen one before but was too pricey for what I think it might be worth.

I often wonder how this sort of collection is put together……

£7,106 for 1/10th is a little steep even for BBP

Any obverse uniface?

There must be an identical amount out there somewhere!

I really don't see the appeal of uniface error coins but I appreciate that some people might really want these.
The mule coin is interesting, I can see the appeal of that one, but the price is such that I would never consider purchasing!

I have an example of the Maklouf mule error 1/10 Britannia

These are much rarer than the B of E mule errors,  check out the NGC/PCGS census.

If anyone is interested in buying mine let me know, it will be a lot cheaper the BBP price.

I have been wondering if errors on bullion coins get the same interest as errors as on circulating coinage.

I've noticed rotation errors on sovereigns before but didn't know if it was a thing or just how it was.

Find a brockage error on a modern bullion sovereign and I'm pretty sure you can retire.
