Am I Crazy Or Is This 50p Different??? £250 50p Coin Hunt Bag #20 [Book 7]

[@stuarthowell2510]

a year ago if anyone had told me id be watching some guy sort through a pile of 50p's and id get excited when he found a commemorative coin, id of said they where mad

[@smiffy7890]

That’s 2 different questions!! Am I crazy? All coin collectors are a little bit 😂 Is this 50p different? I think it’s been worn and aged to appear slightly different but other than that I think it’s normal. 😊 Great stuff Christopher 👍🏻

I'm from the US so I don't know much about this currency but I'm learning a lot from watching your videos. I don't know how proof coins are done there if you even have such coins but in the US proof coins have the the dies polished to a mirror finish and then stamped on the planchet which then gives the coin that same mirror finish and they are considered as NIFCs. That is what it looks like to me.

About 15 years ago, I came across a 50p ( perhaps in Mint Condition ), that I held on to for more than 2 years. I would look through every coin that would come in my hands and in all that time I didn't come across another 50p like the one I held on to but, after two years I did some research into its value and discovered that in uncirculated condition it was worth TWO POUNDS, yes, all of £2.. I can't quite remember what I eventually spent it on but, at least I had a good laugh. Another time (about 25 years ago ) I held on to a very rare £10, ( paper one ), and when I finally got an offer of at least £1000, ( again in, shall I say Treasury Condition? ) for it, it had been stolen by my thieving Fat Niece so she could buy some cakes. She then let her little brother get the blame. Oh well, I now realise that I'll never get rich.

Très bonne vidéo, merci de nous l'avoir partagé 👋

[@TheWalrusWasDanny]

If you pause the video when you hold both Battle of Hastings 50ps, you can do the auto-stereogram magic eye thing to see the differences (this also is a good way of solving the find the differences games in newspapers)...and I can tell you that the 50ps are identical.

Hi Christopher 👋 Had 50p Taekwondo in my change today well pleased 😊

[@ChristopherCollects]

Very nice!

[@mastertemple]

That's an awesome coin....my favorite 🥋🥋

[@highpath4776]

try getting some lining paper or similar and do wax crayon rubbing of them side by side, a diff might be easier to spot

[@Macsood-l1r]

There are differences between the Two Battle Of Hastings coins. Although, I've handled a number of them, I never realised that there were differences is some of them.

[@michaeloffen7513]

Probably the line under the eye

[@umarahmed1187]

I’ve started collecting rare 50p coins I’ve got a few but nowhere as much as you do

[@comdamter]

5:15 n i f sneeze

[@2coinaphrase121]

Slight corrosion on it somehow 🤷‍♂️

[@glynbratcher5338]

Found a 2012 Jersey 50p coin in my change today

[@willvinson01]

I guess that's one of those £63k Battle of Hastings coins that the internet was mad about a while ago!

[@GOGsGoDetecting]

Take a look at the front tip of the crown, clearly almost touching the letter E. The other has a gap.

[@RTJ3DCosplay]

i am SOOOOOO anoyed... i have been looking for a kew gardens FOR YEARS , haven't found one since 2015 - today my 11year old daughter comes how FROM THE SHOP where she bought SWEETS and had a "pretty looking" 50p in her change - GUESS WHAT IT WAS !!!! she is keeping it and we have together put it somewhere safe so it cant be accidently spent.

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

I’ve never seen one!!!

[@chesterperry2455]

Great find , sadly I spent one when I didn’t collect and had no clue .

[@blobrana8515]

It's from a limited collection set that someone has spent?

[@WeeShort]

Hi Christopher, good work with the latest book. Question for you though, I just found a 2010 shield! A great NIFC, but where can I find how many were minted? The royal mint’s circulation numbers only list Girl Guiding for 2010. Any help much appreciated!

[@paulbaddiley7326]

Hi Christopher, can you buy the place holders for the book ????? I would be interested in buying them

[@kenwood2274]

Looks like a coin out of an uncirculated or mint set

[@markthompson8733]

I live in Germany, so basically no chance of finding any 50p coin in my change ... still love watching your posts👌👍✌️

[@uhforja]

You can find €2 commemoratives. I follow this channel but I collect those 🙂

[@KevinHeywood-p4d]

The battle of Hastings coin the queen head looks bigger on the first one

[@ashnewto]

I found a around 10 that looked the same this week, including some commemoratives. They looked odd, and fake I thought at first. I then decided maybe over cleaned too

[@Gamer-jr7nq]

How much is a olimpic football offside 50p worth?

[@mackemmoolah]

A lot of "Diddlies" today! I think the BoH looks OK. It's probably all the muck and scuff marks around the edge inscription that makes the letters appear larger.

[@maverick4177]

That battle of Hastings looks like it’s been double struck on the reverse? Either that or it’s one from a BUNC pack

[@asmallsectionoflife]

Where do I go to get one of these bags of 50ps? Can I get them from a bank/post office?

[@legioveritum]

I have found a St. Helena & Ascension 50p coin in a terrible, unreadable state…polished it and voila’ almost back to shiny new conditions…

[@trevorcorkill-u6l]

the 50p coin which looks different , looks like it has been cleaned with brasso

[@antonypalmer5804]

I'm glad that the Peter rabbit was not one for the book.

[@steveufton4669]

BOH does look a bit weird, could it be a fake 🤔 🤘🏻

[@russell-di8js]

Is it dodgy metal? Over the years I've had some mega light 50ps like a really cheap token, always spent them of course!

[@comdamter]

needs to go into the oddity box. could it be a fake. do they make fake 50ps

[@briankidd44]

That Peter Rabbit coin has probly been found metal detecting. That would explain its condition.

[@Su-ri5ob]

The Queen's head on that Battle of Hastings 50p looks bigger than it should.

[@missharry5727]

I thought that too. Either that or the lettering is too big.

[@DerekWalsh-l4i]

The lettering definitely looks thicker on the suspect coin.

[@geoffreyswain1490]

Hello iam in the position of having a 50

[@geoffreyswain1490]

IAM in the position of having a 50p coin which I believe is a fake there are traces of copper showing thru

[@daveball3414]

My friend has a small convenience store and he looks for commemoratives for me. He's just got 2 football Olympic in his till for me 😊😊😊

[@donduff4385]

Must be sooo!! exciting being you 😂 ❤

[@wendyfletcher4458]

First 👍

[@MarkPearce-u7m]

What did you win? 😂😂😂😂
