Today I Received.....

I got my coins back from Numistacker. 
The PF69 is splendid the others could have go troughs NCS I guess.  That's a lesson learnt for next time I send Chinese proofs for grading.

No coins. They are "medals" or rounds to commemorate the success story of the german economy after WW II. 1 oz 999 silver, mintage 3.000; they are far to cocky to be official coins.

Correct. A partial few from a set of 30 I believe.

@richatthecroft very interesting to hear your thoughts, thanks! She is indeed a stunner it's always interesting indeed to hear about different feelings in hand, even though she looks a beaut anyway from the big pics you posted I can imagine you were dazzled when you first laid eyes on the actual coins! Like you say, add on the mintage for a Brit and it's a very pleasing proposition, you must be very happy with your purchase, I would be I've gone for the silver as it's a real curio imo (and hadn't noticed the lettering on those!) - it's just, as I say, what on earth can they come up with next year, they have seemingly thrown absolute everything they could possibly think of all on one coin!

Just finished work , sorry for the belated reply, another day and another half dollar!  Dazzled is a good word, and hopefully the fairly low mintage will attract some premium.  I have the Silver version on its way among the group order, with thanks to @BackyardBullion and as you point out, you are not attracted immediately to the lettering if you look at a thumbnail/ small photo in the online stores, and in hand, I expect that the Silver coin will be similar to the Gold, the lettering blending into the radial design.  It will be interesting to hear the feedback in this forum of what people think to the Silver version.

Looks like a nice volume. I've managed with the pdf's so far

Yea I was using the PDF because this book is expensive, but I do like to sit with a cuppa sometimes and have the screens off for a bit. There is just something about a book, easier to flick through etc

@motorbikez

I love those. Can you tell me more about them? Were they special issue?

[Oldun]

Regular proofs but because of the diferent designs ngc appear to be giving them each their own “name”

Do you mean the ones I mentioned? I was wondering because they are the same year but different design Britannia

[Oldun]

Yes, you are right. Fun coins going on ebay for a range of prices. Commemorative.

Why are the 2012 MS Britannias so expensive. I searched around and the graded ones are about what it shows in your search.

But I found this ungraded on sale at a store for the about the same price as other years.

Were there different editions of 2012 ?

Edit: oh..it says out of stock. So the price might not be real

2012 is kinda high for a bullion. But the years around it are too
