New 2014 Proof Britannia is an absolute beauty

I've always thought Britannia was hot.

I guess they caught on to design-changing-each-year-normal-bullion coins becoming expensive years later, and want to get that money without becoming dealers, or reminting

 

Never been a Britannia fan, but this is definitely going on my do-want list.

"Isn't she ravishing, so innocent of heart, so strong in body, so hot in the face"
-South Park, "Royal Pudding" episode

 

I have bought the 1oz proof, this forum costs me money!!!!

Thanks for the heads-up though.

D

 

Mintages are pretty low. That should be a plus point. 5 oz silver has mintage of 600 only. I think that's the lowest mintage for the 5 oz coins released todate, by the Royal mint.

 

yes they cut down the mintage for 2014 release. I got a feeling the 2014 Britannia proof will sell out quite soon, and I sure hope Royal Mint will not suddenly increase the mintage!

2013 1oz silver Britannia proof: 8,500 total mintage (including 1oz denomination from sets)
2014 1oz silver Britannia proof: 4,800 total mintage (also including sets)

2013 5oz silver Britannia proof: 1,150
2014 5oz silver Britannia proof: 600

 

Do you know if the price has risen proportionally?

This is the first I have purchased.

 

I can't push 400 for a coin in a month whilst paying for a wedding... These will all be sold out in 8 weeks time when I can scramble the cash together >.< I'll be keeping watch.

 

You could just take the 1oz?

 

I might buy a 1oz this month but i'd always be wanting the 5oz >.<

 

Quite the opposite,
1oz silver proof remained same price
5oz silver proof, 2013 release price was GBP375, 2014 is GBP330
Gold 3-coins set, 2013 was GBP1,275 but 2014 is GBP1,175

 

Prices are identical to, or very close to last year.

 

Thanks both, sounds like a good deal on the 1oz then.

Done

 

This is a really nice looking coin, I just pre-ordered 2 of each 1oz & 5oz.

 

I've pre ordered the 6 coin set. I have a few 1oz proof Britannia's but this is the 1st time I've bought directly from the mint as this coin/set is a stunner.

 

Where is pre order available in the US?

 

I just ordered directly on the Mint's website.

 

Sweet as hell, but with the 2014 libertads on deck, I'm afraid that my heart lies in Mexico

 

see, i disagree. That what she wants you to think. I reckon under the robe is a body-suited Lara-Croft-like Britannia. Dis her at your peril

 

Very nice but at that price I will just buy a silver generic round and download a picture of Pippa to stick over it. It might not go up in value but every year I can just change the picture of Pippa.
