Britannia has one of the best designs for sure 👍👍
It does, thanks for watching PMG hope you’re doing well👍🏻
My wonderful wife just gifted me my first Britannia for Christmas, and I'm absolutely smitten. They are portable works of art, and I'll be picking up a lot more in the future.
i live in North America, im pretty new @ buying silver. I absolutly love this coin:) I plan on getting some of these..Just stunning:)
@@michaelmoravec8206 a fine choice, you won’t regret it 😊
The question to this video is a no-brainer... Britannias are Beautiful! Pure & Simple! 🥰
I know, a quick 2 second video and I would have answered it 😂 😁
I just copped a 2020 Brittannia silver today. Less than our Eagle. Thank you, great video, from USA/ Alabama.
Thank you!
Yes i love the way this coin looks! I just got my first 1/2oz Gold Britannia : )
That’s awesome! Nice bit of gold right there
They're beautiful! Everytime I get some, my kids come to trade me other coins for my Britannias haha
Everyone likes the Britannia it seems haha
Trying to collect back years, especially the 2000s, they’re all different.
Yeah I think I’d like to get some, don’t see them around
Here in South Florida, USA, I have been a fan of, and have collected these coins since 2020. The premium on them here is actually much less than the American Silver Eagles, and more in line with plain old silver rounds. Let see, do I buy Generic Silver Rounds or a Genuine Sovereign Coins?? The are both nearly the same price per ounce.... It's a No Brainer Really... However I noticed that some of them are starting to show milk spots which is a production problem. My Silver Britannia's have never been handled with bare hands, and live in their original tubes after initial inspection upon receipt. Humidity is 44% and they are kept at a temp of 76 Degrees Fahrenheit in a dark air conditioned closet. It is sad to see some of them getting milk spots, but I guess there is nothing that can be done about that. I understand that the Canadian Silver Coins now have a coating on them to prevent Milk Spots from happening, and from all I have read, it seems to be working. Perhaps one day the Britannia's will incorporate that technology into their coin production and then it will be "The Perfect Coin" in my humble opinion, LOL.
American here: I stacked Britannia in 1 oz coins and bar due to their lower premiums for BU. I favor QE on the obverse, but in the end 1 oz is 1 oz. Beautiful sovereign bullion at an affordable price.
This design is a modern icon.

Classy stuff. Im buying loads of them. They're going to the moon.
Thank you I have now learnt a little more about the Brit so cool 👍🤔👍
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video😁
@@Macdonaldbullion your welcome and congrats on that 1k which is inevitable and beyond I’ll try my best to support the channel the best I can 👍🙏🏻👍
i love them great coins one of my favs awesome security features
998, almost there! I'm gonna go ahead and say CONGRATS now
Thank you so much!
@@Macdonaldbullion I see 1k on my end, CONGRATS officially now!
@@spyders03 that’s right thanks😁
It's not popular in the UK. Might be something to do with the 20% VAT liability that comes with buying them. Milk spotting does not help either , but at least this does not affect the bullion price.
They’re beautiful coins. The gold Britannia was the first 1 oz gold coin I ever bought. They also the first tube of 20 silvers I’ve finished. Gorgeous coin and awesome price.
Glad you like them, I like them too. Thanks for watching
For UK buyers they are relatively cheap compared to other silver coins , well known, liquid and capital gains tax exempt ( something that can't be ignored as allowances are in the process of being reduced to next to nothing ) . For everyone it's a nice design, with great security features . Although I stopped buying new silver several years ago and went for gold , due to high premiums and VAT making it very difficult to ever make any profit and even if you do it will be worse than gold as silver would have to out perform gold by 20% for vat plus another 20%+ in extra premiums.
Exactly that, thank you for watching
Semi Numismatic. Hmm? Curious name. The premiums are particularly high and if, like myself, you have to rely on others to sell you a long term.... Well? The VAT at 20% on silver, essentially puts stacking silver rather off-putting.
I really like that coin 💪
They’re lovely coins
I'm going to watch the full video, because it's great content! but I could answer this in 2 seconds! 'Because they're awesome', thank you and good night! 😂 Great video mate 👍
I think I could answer every one of my videos in 2 seconds🤣 thank you😁
@@Macdonaldbullion Yeah, the blanket statement "Because Gold & Silver are awesome" pretty much covers most things 🤣
@@thestackcollector exactly 🤣
Great video 👍
Thanks very much Roger
I’ve got a 2003. It’s a beauty.
I’ll have to get some, I’ve not seen anyone on here showcase yet and they’re reasonably priced for the mintages
Love them!
Me too
There is no capital gains tax on silver coins. Crypto Col. Love the britanias also myself
I’m loving it!
even over here in the US they are priced better than most. they make up the bulk of my sovereign silver.
Great to see our brothers across the pond like them as much as we do 👊🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
@@Macdonaldbullion 🍻
I do enjoy the Britannia. Currently it's my favorite bullion coin next to the Canadian maple leaf. I'm not so keen on the king Charles 2023 version as he does not yet don the crown. It makes the coin feel like there's just a portrait of some old guy on it, even though i know who he is and we do that on our coins. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I understand that, I don’t own any Charles Britannias yet, it’ll be interesting to see if they amend the portrait so he’s crowned on the coin
I saw him get crowned wtf
@mudvayne2311 the 2023 type 2 features Charles but was released before the coronation.
Congrats on 1000 subs!!!
Thank you so much
The silver content didn't change after 2012 - there was always one troy ounce of silver in a Britannia. When they became .999 in 2013 that didn't mean more silver went into minting the coin, it meant less copper went in.
Very informative, thanks! 💙
No problem thanks for watching😁
@@Macdonaldbullion The pleasure is mine.💙
nice
A close second to the walking liberty but that’s just my across the pond bias.
I need to get a walking liberty, never seen one in person. They look great though😁
Barry. Keeping the coin in its cover is fine. Keep in a cool dry atmosphere. Crypto col
Apparently the Spanish Royal mint is coming out with their own silver coin soon, as their gold doubloon series has gotten really popular in the last couple years, in part thanks to a crazy good security feature that's like a big version of the padlock on the brit, but it manages to have FOUR images in it. If they can translate that to silver it'd be a real rival (and both be much more impressive than the eagles). I hope the Phil Harmonics upgrade their art and security someday soon. Malta's new silver bullion coin is quite nice too, and quite interesting in that it has a 5 euro face value.
Sounds great I’ll have to check that out, I agree I like maltas smart design
yeah there's not much press about it, but their director was on a youtube bullion channel livestream a few months back and basically announced that one is coming, but gave no details on the name or whether it would be limited mintage or something relatively low premium with high mintage and thin margins (VAT makes it a big consideration). I think the security feature on the gold started in 2022 with the Toro bull, or the 2023 with the spanish horse.@@Macdonaldbullion
Long live the King!!!
Do they come in that protective cap or do you have to buy them separately?
I’ve always been sent these in capsules but if you want to buy some they are very cheap
Does the capital gains exemption warrant buying these given that they have 20 VAT? Great video.
Thanks for your comment. I would say so because if you sell let’s say £10000 worth of Britannias you won’t pay any tax on any potential profit. Not many people have that much I don’t so I stack a variety. Precious metals is a longer term investment and although premiums are high including VAT, over time historical data suggests that the price is forecasted to increase but no one really knows. Even with the VAT on silver I personally still buy them because they’re great pieces, it’s a fun hobby and some would consider silver being hugely undervalued. Hope this helps
@@Macdonaldbullion These coins cost £30 or more each. Silver is currently £18 an ounce or so. How long would you have to keep them in order to make a profit on them when you come to sell them?
@@daviniarobbins9298 a long time it’s more for saving money, gold is the better investment in my opinion
@@Macdonaldbullion If you got the spare £1702 for 1 ounce of gold that is.
@@daviniarobbins9298 I prefer sovereigns, only a few % above spot usually. Alternatively for more “affordable” options I’d even suggest best value 1g gold bars which can be picked up £50-£60. These are higher premium but lower than silver. It’s all personal preference and what one can afford but any gold is good and some silver is good to have aswell
As an American, I must avow, notwithstanding my national allegiance, that Britannia's supremacy in the realm of bullion is incontrovertible
