Is There An £11,000 50p In Your Change???

[@antonypalmer5804]

It is so irresponsible of these companies to send out fake news like this. Thanks so much for sharing.

Nothing irresponsible about it. If you believe that, you must also believe, selling anything which has a mineral value which is far below it's insinuated market value. Is also irresponsible?

I have several larger 50p coins. All came from a branch of Lloyds bank in Somerset this year. I have also built up an assortment of coins from the last forty plus years from threepence, florins and sixpence coins etc to modern coins most of the old coins I got from our cellar that had a grate in the pavement over the years people dropped all manner of thing down it and when I excavated the floor for renovation the amount of coins found was staggering. I also found a lot of coins in an abandoned wool mill just down the road that I played in and explored as a child. Absolutely no idea if they are worth anything.

[@michaellooney1089]

I had an 'expert' on 'ebay' once trying to tell me there are TWO different Obverses on the 1997 50p, and one is extremely rare!

i spotted the "brexit" 50p in my change a few weeks ago and just thought i would try to find out if it was worth something...and i found one on ebay for £2k and another for £1.3k... i was astounded and then after a few days ...i had another.......about a week later...yep, another...obviously not that rare then.... but i hung on to it with other commemorative 50p's so glad i found your site (and your other one ) saved me a possible red face.. however i used to collect coins when i was a kid ( i always remember having a 1912 penny with a small H next to the date, i kept it for years...) so i decided to get myself some collecting books to store what i have, admittedly not a kings ransom. but some nice, interesting examples...thanks for the clear advice (on both sites) i have subscribed to em both.

[@anthonyfisher1670]

If you have a brexit coin with any other date than 31st January 2020 , eg , October , Novevember month on it then your coin is worth at least £12, 000.

[@madbadhatter]

Found one of these in the park today. Looked it up and saw the prices, hoped but didnt expect them to be legit and your video has confirmed it so thank you very much! Also noticed all the "sold" listings buyers are all accounts with ZERO feedback. Clearly a scam and trying to trick others and inflate the price. Its so bad what people will do to get money. I messaged 5 of the current and past sellers of this coin that apparently sold for large sums and surprise surprise no one replied! Thanks again for the video and great work getting this information out there to people! If something seems too good to be true.......

[@jacksugden8190]

EBay sellers inflate the prices. I have a 1998 version in my change. Why was 1997 rare, and was 1998 worth 11 grand?.

The coin you said was released in his honour in 2014 does not show the royal coat of arms of the UK (probably the reason it was not accepted for a definitive). It shows the coat of arms of England (with the three leopards in two corners). The Coat of Arms of Scotland is similar, but shows the Lion Rampant in two corners. These differences were seen on (old money) shillings in the past.
