    Great short video Barsenault! Only made me a little envious. :)

    +1 Great coin pics.

    I've found its very difficult to take consistently good photos of coins.

    Here's what I propose....from 2015 forward, all British Commonwealth coins' obverse design have the Queen cameo be replaced with the 2003 Britannia cameo.

    Do I hear a second (or thumbs up) on that proposal?

    On the Britannia series, I prefer the 5 Philip Nathan designs (and have an example of each in 1 troz BU silver and 1/4 troz Proof gold):

    They are certainly rare and nice.

    I sold a bullion set from 2005->2011 including a proof 2001 set a few years back.

    Not sure if I should regret it now =D, how much have they appreciated.

    some proof Britannia 1oz silver coins were sold at over U$250, based on completed eBay listings.

    looks like past-year Britannias are picking up speed. :)
