bro its call the Nimbus coin frame... can Google for dealers :)

Why not do a swap and send the 5oz back to Royal Mint in that defective capsule? :p On a side note Royal Mint just dispatched my first replacement coin... Keeping my finger crossed this time.

I subscribed to AgAu on my Flipboard and followed AgAu on Facebook, I find their news and updates much faster than the emails from official Mints. Moreover the information on AgAuNews sometimes can be more accurate than official Mint website (point my finger at Royal Mint). Great job on the...

AgAuNews do you know if the Great White Shark and Wedge Tail Eagle will have annual design change?

Royal Mint's return policy has been generous, the Mint foots the bill on return shipping.

the Royal Mint capsules are pretty easy to open, just twist a little and unscrew it all the way. I have many proof Britannias and opened 5x 5oz proof Britannias before. Its not like Royal Mint uses Air-tite capsules; now that's a challenge to get it opened :p

The COA likely is added into the OGP upon packaging/repackaging. Take some close-up photos and send them to Royal Mint's customer service, they will ask you to return the coin. With such high polished mirrored finish any minute flaws will be obvious.

If you look at other Royal Mint 1oz gold proof, they are priced at GBP1,950... roughly 2x spot. Too bad Royal Mint did not start the Britannia series with 1oz gold proof; that would be a nice collection. Only 1/4oz comes in single coin, other gold proof denominations are from sets but at recent...

I have the 5-coin set of gold pandas, and they are beautiful from 1oz to 1/4oz. The 1/10 and 1/20oz are quite small and the strike isn't as nice as the bigger coins. Now 1/40oz, that's super small! At 8mm diameter the coin is very rough in design. Source...

Royal Mint received my returned 5oz proof Britannia, but I was told that the Mint is waiting for new stocks to be produced and expected despatch date is after 6 Sept. I guess that answers the question of: Does the Mint produce all 1,150 coins at one go?

if milk spots are there upon grading, the coin will get lower grade as spots are considered defects. however milk spots might still appear after the coin is graded and slabbed; when that happens the coin will no longer retain its original grade when it goes through regrading.

the previous spotted copy, probably going to be graded a PF67/68 since it comes with spots. But without the spots it likely to be a PF70 from my naked eye. I'm no professional grader myself. Hmm... bout the COA I forgot what was the # on my first coin LOL! I think it was #048 or #043...

well the way I look at it... Buy from Royal Mint: $550 Graded by NGC: $995 Sell on eBay: $1,750 Govmint earns 100%, eBay seller earns 100%. Customer pays 3x its release price for a PF70. :p :D Seriously with over 500 graded as PF70 I am pretty sure those who get direct from Royal Mint would...

:cool: :cool: that's a very impressive collection!

:p I still think our photos do better justice than the NGC slab haha! Can't even see any high relief on the eBay posting. And bugger flipping this for 3x its release price! By the way looks like all 750 coins were graded as first release... One of first 750 struck instead of first 150 struck...

Last year was the first year I bought from the mint directly, and the 2013 proof Britannia was released in August/Sept. The 1oz silver sold out in around 6-8 months but 5oz was still available till May/June 2014.

Royal Mint will be selling the coins until they are sold out, or until 2015 Britannia is out. This was the case for 2013's proof Britannia. Then the actual mintage number will be released 1-2 years later.

Meh mine interrogates me whenever I buy a fancy coaster like this. :(

The 1oz is pretty, but the 5oz is just much better especially with its high relief finish. Personally I still think the 2003 Britannia (helmeted Lady Britannia) is the best design so far, but the 2014 5oz.. That's my new favorite among all my Britannia coins. I hope Royal Mint would commission...
