Re: Calling all Numismatists
121Tis a nice bit of fun collecting themed 50ps ....nice to give twin grandauhgters. Got a Paddington this week as well
Just for info' Phil, they have a good website. On there you can list all the coins that you have and what ones you still need to get the set. If you are a member (free) they will even send an e-mail to other members (if you agree) saying what swaps you have available and what you need.phil_in_npton wrote:Good Morning!
For Christmas the kids got me the “change checker” folder for all the special coins, plastic wallets with separate pockets and card description and pictures for each coin.
Also an assortment of 50p’s they have collected in the last few months.
Certainly adds to the fun when you can see what you have in each category.
Never going to get the sets I suspect on casual collecting but it is a fun thing to do and a joy when you come across one you haven’t got in your change!
I used to be a train spotter in my early life so that explains a lot!

I have seen some in shops.pembsexile wrote:Serious question for some of you coin enthusiasts out there. The Royal Mint this week have released 2.6 million of the 2019 10p piece coins. This goes along with what they released last year giving a total amount of over 5 million 10 p coins in circulation. Has anyone actually seen one? I have been looking since they were released and have not seen a single one in my change.
Some serious coin enthusiasts are saying that the RM may have overplayed their hand. They have made a lot of sets available for collectors (I have a set) whilst neglecting circulating coins. Their primary function is to manufacture coins for the country but they seem driven by profit. I would like to hear if anyone has actually seen one in their change even if they don't collect any.
Edit - I am referring to the 'alphabet' type new 10p coins. 26 in a set obviously and it is one of those that I have not seen in circulation.
Unfortunately correct. Their average price on eBay is about £1.50. The mintage figure for this coin was relatively high at 6,700,000. However, it was recently voted the nations favourite ever 50p coin so it might climb in value in future years. I'd keep them if I was you.Rhys with an H wrote:My Mam has a ten pence, not sure which one it was. But I have 2 big 50 P's depicting D-Day, and they ain't worth shish.....
So. Be brave enough to tell us what it costpembsexile wrote:Just got hold of a Kew Gardens 50pence piece. That now completes my collection of 50p's. It's genuine as well. Absolutely delighted. Be careful if you are after one - there are lots of copies out there.
