Picked up a new MS69 Britannia for my collection (4 to go now) - big pics

[pendragon1998]

In my ongoing search for MS69 britannias, I came across a 2002 PCGS MS69 (my 99, 01, 04, and 05 are NGC) though I'm rather of the opinion that this one is just barely a 69 on a good day due to a small spot on the obverse. Otherwise, the coin is a beauty, and fits in well with the rest of my MS69 collection (shown below).

 

Now I only need a 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2007 in NGC/PCGS MS69. If you know of any for sale, please let me know!

All you really need now is the helmeted Britannia profile to complete the Philip Nathan design type set.

I really only collect US coins but these have always been of intrest to me how much does a common raw coin go for?

Nice Coins Russ,

 

How do you photograph those proofs just out of curiosity.

 

Trozau - A very nice one as well.

Common, raw coins go for around $25 each. I sold an 8 coin set, minus a 2003 for around $200. The thing that makes assembling this set in high grade difficult is that (a) there aren't a lot of graded coins for sale, (b) there aren't a lot of these coins at shows - at least ones I've been to, and © most photos of coins for sale on eBay are poor or don't properly show the areas that get abrasions and spotting.

 

 

Here's my 2003, but it's just a raw one - MS67, I'd say, due to a somewhat weak strike on the queen's cheek (not visible in photo).
