Having experienced some of the worst quality British 999 silver Britannias one year ago, I was somewhat nervous ordering the new fine silver Year of the Horse 2014 1oz bullion coins. They arrived today and they look great. I thought you might like to see how they are shipped. I understand production is limited so maybe this will become a collector's item in years to come.
that's odd. Royal Mint replied me via email that the lunar horse bullion will come in tubes of 20 just like the 2013 Britannias. So yours came in sheet of 10? Are the coins in individual capsules or they are laminated like the American Gold Buffalo?
Coins are in their usual cheap plastic sheet that separates far too easily but it does stop the coins rubbing together. I will be placing them in capsules for storage. My early 2013 Britannias also came in these sheets for a while. Later coins were supplied in tubes of 20. FYI - in case others ask - my order for horses was 40 coins so I kind of expected 2 tubes.
Thanks - that seems reasonably low for a Royal Mint production and certainly a lot lower than the million RCM Wildlife which took off with the Timber Wolf.
