I noticed the difference looking at an MCM eBay listing yesterday. Very different to the image we’ve got used to seeing

SnakeySnakes

Had to pay a premium, but not that much. Around the £200 mark.

ATB - only one missing now.

1989 MS69 Panda - bought very cheaply as apparently milk spotted, but I’m struggling to see them. It they’re present, they’re hardly worth worrying about. ?
 

2014 5 oz Libertad.

Pig dog.

1888 bullion Sovereign

Yes please.

Oh no, I hadn’t realised it was yours. I’ve felt that sinking feeling more than once myself. She will join her sisters in my 1/4 oz proof Britannia collection. Was it in the proof coins category? I’ve always had more luck listing gold coins of any variety in the general gold bullion coin category. It seems to get more traffic.

eBay is a crazy place. Bought this graded PF69 1988 1/4 oz proof Britannia for £25 less than I sold a 2014 bullion 1/4 oz Britannia for the day after.

Only the rabbit to go.

An eBay bargain, I think. A 1 oz high relief Koala Proof. Chunky monkey, about the same thickness as a 2 oz beast.

Skippy the proof kangaroo 🦘 (1/4 oz).

For reasons only known to the Royal Mint, in 2006 they released a set of five Proof coins limited to 250. One coin is the actual 2006 proof, the others are the designs from 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005, but all dated 2006.

Full set of PF70’s for the 2006 1/4 oz Britannia set.

A couple of bundled GS.be orders (arrived in a 10 oz Unicorn monster box) and eBay proof Britannias.

It was an eBay auction win from Russia. Took 3 weeks to arrive, but got here eventually.

Only two to go...

Must confess I didn’t know this coin existed until I happened across it on eBay. 2013 BU Britannia - I mistakenly thought these had all been the conventional design until the 2019 version.

Antique fair booty.

I think it was a single year issue, but circulation, so there are literally millions of them. Not rare but usually command a small premium in the U.K.
