What's the difference between Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion coins?

[RLIUI]

I have the utmost respect for your craftsmanship. Thank you for this explanation of terms, and showing the world why each coin type carries it's specific premium.

Amazing!  I wasn't aware of all the extensive labor at the level of "perfection" that goes into the coins, especially the Proofs.
Great job; great video.

Thank you for this most informative video. My 3× great-grandfather, Peter Filatreu Cross (1815-1862) was an assistant engraver at the US Mint in Philadelphia in the 1840s and 1850s. ~Bill Stephens

The difference between BU and Proof is very tiny on some sovereigns I own. Bullion next to a BU or Proof looks very weak in comparison but they are two different things. I'll be showing this comparison soon on my channel.

So few things make me proud to be British these days. This does.

Wow! Never imagined all the detailed work that went into making it possible to mint a coin. Always thought a machine was used to make the coin dies. Learning they are hand carved was an amazingly unexpected piece of information.

Finally a video that explains it for a newbie like me. Thanks

Usually new bullion that’s remained in its original packaging or kept in a protective capsule is called brilliant uncirculated, since it wasn’t circulated or handled. Proof is extra striking and higher relief with extra shine, as described in the video.

You make the most beautifully detailed coins.

Very interesting and informative - thank you for sharing.

Their "bullion" strikes are what our Canadian Mint calls CIRCULATION or BUSINESS strike, only struck once, hundreds per hour, flipped out by machines into containers where they strike one another, getting scratched.

Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion - Who really knows the difference in these coin finishes? Take a look at our latest video

[LiveForPanda]

Can you tell the coins are bullion, bullion uncirculated, or proof by simply looking at it? I got some silver coins from someone packaged in a nice fancy box, but it doesn't say about the quality.

I found a pound coin in my change that was piedfort and had a proof finish.

Thumbs up for content done very well and CAPTIONS. CAPTIONS so I can see and "HEAR".
Thank you.

Amazing video quality!!! Compression artifacts are just not existant here. Clearly, this was shot with a high quality camera but does someone know what codec to use to save such flawless quality after editing?

This presentation...beautiful & informative & a must know before you buy!
Buying...a matter of your choice!

Love the Britannia bullion coins, especially the 2021. They usually come with some defect though like a scratch in the matte finish or a round dent in the rim. Maybe I always get the bargain bin coins, it's still disappointing to get a new coin from the dealer and it's already nicked in the capsule.

From the USA here. The royal mint really puts out a quality video. Everything from the US mint looks like it came from a Walmart film crew.

That's why proof coins are so expensive! It's been really educational, nice made!
