Hmm... I just picked up several of these the other day. I have to say I pooped into this thread to see what the take on them was and was kind of shocked. The ones I got are clean - no scuffs and look polished not wavy. Then again, I did pick them up as bullion coins, not as collector coins, so I wasn't overly concerned with the minting.

@Doug58 the ones I bought before the recent price crash were probably similar to yours. The ones I bought pictured which were minted after are dreadful. Could be your particular stockist had slightly older minted versions.

Exactly the reason why I never stacked many Brits 'cause In Canada
ANY pm's below .995 in purity is taxable so now, they're a little more desirable being .999

Thanks for the heads-up. I was going to buy a British coin or two.

I guess I'll pick up a Mexican Libertad.

I personally think the Libertad is a better Coin if you want it to go up in Value if your talking about the 2013. The Libertad is usually less mintage. The Brit in the past before 2013 was a low mintage coin.

Can't go wrong with the Libertad
