I got a Kew Gardens 50p in my change last week so good hunting everyone

[@BritanniaCoinCompany]

Wow that is an amazing find! -CC

[@deniseelsworth7816]

Probably the one I accidentally spent when they first came out. I got the smaller coins and 50pence in change all together. Like I said I loved the design and kept them then accidentally spent them.😢😅

[@axxomovies-he6zi]

I know for a fact I've had that in change a few times and spent it 😂

[@vivienmacdonald691]

I had that coin as well (Kew Gardens) some time back but I was made to spend it..Long Story 😢

[@johnthegodfatherslack]

Sure you did.

[@samseeley1853]

Feels good knowing I have about 70% of these… including 2 kews 😜 Tip for those looking for some of these… VENDING machines!! Always put in £2 or more and collect the change… I found a Kew doing this! Best can of coke ever purchased 👌😂

[@phildavies6020]

The shame is that the way thing are going, inflation-wise, a can of coke will soon cost you £2!

Wish I did, I'm trying so hard to collect some of them for my grandchildren 🤞😉

[@PeteLewis1967]

Hi Christopher. Having watched your youtube channel I looked through my £2 savings tin and found the Northern Ireland commemorative coin. i'm well pleased with myself, and to be honest I never thought our pocket change had additional value. Thx

[@mrabsorbency8460]

I once found a 2 pound coin in my room which turned out to be commonwealth Scotland. I didn't know they were rare at the time

[@andreafry3428]

Excellent video .I have the Underground Train ( my favourite) and WW1 Navy Centenary £2 coins and Olympic Shooting, Mrs Tittlemouse and Sir Isaac Newton 50p coins. I really covet The Great Fire of London and Mary Rose £2 coins . I remember having a Kew Gardens back in the day and just spent it !!😲 and I know someone who had a Jemima Puddle Duck and did the same not knowing about it's value until I was talking about it !! On an episode of The Yorkshire Aution House, not long ago, they sold a set of coins that included the Kew Gardens 50p and it wasn't noticed ( even though I was shouting at the TV! ) .It sold for a lot less than it should have and I think the buyer knew what he was doing !🙂

[@normangrahammorrison4389]

Interesting as always nice to keep up to date with what all theses coins are worth, have them all pleased to say, but would never dream of selling them, cheers CC and BC.😊

I have had all those coins except 3 or 4. Unfortunately, I had twice the Kew Gardens but never knew its value I just wondered what it was when I saw it the first time. I now just give any coins I find to others.

[@neilthewheelio]

I played poker and my last 50p was the football offside coin, I thought I had a good hand so used it as I "knew" I was going to get it back........I was wrong.

[@1MartinWaite]

Gosh I’ve a few Kew gardens 50p and have been collected coins from within my change for years I counted them the other week at face value I’ve nearly a grands worth I’ve just started collected some collections of coins but I’m not as keen on them. Anyway you have a new subscriber and thank you. 😊😊😊

[@Anthonycolley-sg1bj]

Nice to know, how about a video on the old coins like the 3p shilling and on . great video

[@beccaboo3040]

This was very useful thanks just wondering if you know how much the £5 prince Charles birthday coin is I can't remember when it was minted as I was little but I remember it was sometime in the mid 1990's. Also I have a Queen Victoria coin it's tiny it's my favourite coin it say Anne of the indies on it I've tried finding out more about it but unfortunate can't find any. Also just stared collecting some Harry potter coins there beautiful so far I have Harry, Bellatrix and Dobbie hopefully getting Draco next.

[@dizzybee7386]

This evening I bought a David Bowie BUnc £5 coin for £12. Probably the most I've paid to date. As for those in circulation, it would have to be...none. I've found plenty of commemorative £2 and 50p coins, but none above real value (yet)! I particularly liked the Magna Carta and King James designs on tonight's showcase video. I'm warming to the Kew, but I still think it's over-valued from an asthetic perspective - it's a pretty design and while I appreciate it's low mintage, there are nicer ones - especially from Isle of Man.

[@BritanniaCoinCompany]

I love the David Bowie £5! I agree I think if value was based on how nice the design was the Isaac Newton 50p would bankrupt us all! -CC

[@rockjam4534]

The Royal Mint made an official re-issue of the Kew Gardens 50p coin in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first issue of Kew Gardens. It is a very special limited edition 50p coin with only 3,500 minted worldwide, unfortunately none have been entered into general circulation. I personally saw one online selling for £299.95

[@vicreadies]

You'll get a nice 2009 Kew for around £200 if you're patient .( Printed this before I saw the B.C.C. valuation !!) Mine cost £170 graded NGC MS67

[@rockjam4534]

@@vicreadies The re-issue of the 50p Kew Gardens 2019 is said to be as rare as the first Kew Gardens 2009. So the two coins can go either way on price, one can probably fetch just as much as the other, it depends what the collector's looking for. I have a re-issue KG 2019 sealed certified brilliant uncirculated, that's one of the 3,500 that were minted weighing 8g, diameter: 27.3mm. Not sure how many of the first KG coins were minted, any idea?
