How difficult would it be to get pre-2011, 1oz Britannias?

TomD, you are like the National Geographic photographer of coins...your pictures are killer, man!
+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):

Standing Britannia design

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. :)
