Hi does anyone know if the pobjoy mint made a gold proof iom pound in 1981.the mintmark is BB.

I've only seen pictures of the coin and havn't received it yet.It's definitly a proof coin and looks gold in colour.

Any help would be appreciated thanks

Not something I know anything about at all I'm afraid del. Is this the one that was on ebay? In which case if it is gold, it was a bargain!!

AFIK it was only made in Virenium. One slight oddity is that it usually fetches more than the 1980BB proof, despite having 5 times the mintage.

Yes so did I.

I could do with finding a detailed site about it.

Thanks for input.
