    Naturally, the design doesn't stand out like the proof version. But I do hope this will appreciate because then the proof version will go up too.

    Got mine today, very happy (though for postage to australia I expected a bit more than a padded bag just left in my letterbox). Beautiful coin.

    It doesn't look so beautiful in the photo. Though the chick is hot. I would definitely do her.

    The photo is not to good very difficult with the blister the coin is very nice in the hand
    the packaging was below zero for a Royal mint incredible to send a expensive coin like that in a litlle bubble envelop !

    Got mine today. I compared it against the 2014 and difference in quality is substantial. A bit hard to tell though from these quick comparative pics:

    Yeah, me also.:) I received them quite fast though.

    I bought 4 of them. I think they will be a nice New Year's gifts. Will probably keep 2. Maybe order more. :)

    Thanks for sharing the comparative pics. The jumbo size pics were useful.

    The bullion version, while qualitatively not as refined looking as the proof version, for a bullion coin, the 50 for 50 Britannia looks good actually, in my opinion.

    It's like comparing a Camry to a Jaguar.

    I just received my 50 for 50 Britannia today. It's better in hand than I anticipated. I'm quite pleased with this purchase.
