2013 UK Crown Acquisitions

[Kena]

The Royal Mint has been running an advent calendar on their Facebook page.

I picked up the following for really good price via one of this week's offers:

Royal Christening 2013 UK 5 Pound Brilliant Uncirculated Coin

No pictures of mine are available since I am leaving them in the mint packaging.

Nice pickup Ken.  I love the British coin series, but I just don't love the cost the Royal Mint charges for them.

I have been known to shop the Australian Royal Mint and the New Zealand Mint for products though.

Even the Royal Mint have problems keeping coins in pristine condition judging by the looks of the 1953 Crown.

Would the Royal Mint have bought these coins back from circulation?

Those two new coins are really nice though.

Yes, the 1953 coin is not uncirculated but I am happy with the purchase because of advent offer was very good.
