Two very nice Olympics. Strange seeing that amount of of old 50p in the bag’s.👌👍

[@t.m.p8187]

just a man enjoying collecting 50p nothing to hate here!

[@gingerninjawhinger9986]

I miss the old 5p, 10p and 50p coins; you knew you had change in your pocket, unlike the 'shrapnel' we spend today.

[@iftheseoldbeastscouldtalk7796]

Not even mentioning that you had a reasonable chance to hunt through and find silver. At least in the shillings and florins that were left in the mix of 5 and 10p coins. Well, a chance, considering the degrees of separation from silver. It surely shouldn't have been impossible. People circulate coins to this day here in America that are twice as expensive by silver value as a pre 1948 50% florin...

[@danforbes3573]

!969 50p? I thought we didn't go into decimalization until about 1971-72.

[@willemslie]

The 50p coin was introduced before decimalisation to replace to ten bob note.

[@angielewis11872]

You were diddled by £2.50 with the weight of those old 50ps! The cheek!

[@wendyfletcher4458]

First 👍

[@paulaustin9634]

Does the bank still accept the old 50p should you wish to return it?

[@kevinbushell2746]

The 73 EEC gotta be rarer than a KEW in circulation

[@anthonylovesey1137]

The chunky 50p's and the 1973 'EEC' are the star finds of the hunt.

[@JoeC-bz2ep]

Not a good bank if they are giving discontinued currency.

[@Chakrakai5141]

I have 2 of the large 50ps, D-day and the 1969 one. Nice finds. Also nice to know there were other designs for them.

[@billseymour-jones3224]

Interesting to note that the 1973 "EEC" coins were withdrawn early as they needed to get their fingernails cut....

[@Mark3ABE]

The old, large, 50p coins have been demonetised. I don’t think that the Bank of England will exchange them. However, it will exchange old notes, even 10/- notes. You do need to explain how you come to have the notes though. Crown coins issued after 1971, either marked 25p, not marked at all, or marked “crown” are still legal tender at 25p, however, earlier crowns before that date, whether marked five shillings, crown or not marked are no longer legal tender.

[@glynbratcher5338]

Two Olympics and eight large 50p coins a good hunt today 😮

[@paulmcqueen367]

Nice hunt very unusual that the old bigger 50ps are still out there and no one noticed,Star finds are the 2 Olympics all the best.

[@PixieII]

Somewhere in my house I have the Kew 50p. I put it somewhere for safekeeping, and it's currently in hiding 🙄 Fortunately I live alone and I know I've not spent it, so it will be here! My plan is to hang on to it and sell it when I need the money, hopefully it won't go down in value. I only have it because I saw it when I was working in a shop and thought it looked interesting, so swapped it for some change and when I got home my boyfriend at the time googled it and suggested I hang on to it. Glad I did now!

[@annettereynolds7457]

I have a kew gardens as well. I had no idea what it was until I started watching this channel.

[@james.363]

Hello. I just stumbled across your channel and enjoyed the video. Funny enough I picked up a King Charls the 3rd undated 50p today. It is in near mint condition. I will check out a few of your newest videos.

[@hellonpluto]

if i ordered a bag of £250 50ps now would they still have queen elizabeth 2nd on them or more likely to be king charles 3rd?

[@hyunjinki1995]

I just wonder if there still someone using the bigger 5p, 10p and 50p dates from 1968 to 1989 (for the 5 and 10p) and 1971 to 1996 (for 50p) in circulation or as form of payment ?

[@harryhamm11]

Coronation 50p has entered circulation according to change checker 🙂

[@yutehube4468]

Imagine finding a lines over face swimming. Only one is listed in past listings on eBay and it went for £3,700.

[@andyday3571]

Hi I have two off 50 piece of Britannia 1997 and I have the 50p 2011 the running with the stopwatch and the 50p 70 E"R are these worth anything and where can I get Southam

[@DRAGONFLYS06]

I collect coins too, I even have a bag of uncirculated half penny and pennies that are almost the size of 2p coin.

[@jaycfc6955]

Only £ 7.50 in that mixed bag of new and old 50p's . How does he not notice that?

[@Neil2022]

Notice what?

[@McIntosh_Coin_Collector]

@@Neil2022£2.50 is missing

[@bedbugs52]

Each bag should contain £10 worth of coins. I guess the additional weight of the old 50p's has confused the coin counting machine

[@williamallport7004]

Is that not why he said these coins shouldn't be in circulation?

[@neilbarnes4667]

No, sorry, they are major old school coins... 😅 I've got loads...😒 probably worthless 🤷‍♂️@@williamallport7004

[@elliottprice6084]

The old larger 50ps have to be 🌟 Find. I used to get them in my pocket money when I was young. They made you feel rich 😁

[@MarkStamp-o6p]

Are the old 50ps worth more than face value yet? I can imagine new collectors who are trying to go back to decimilisation for example paying over the odds

[@gravemind6536]

Yeah but not significantly except for the low circulation years.

[@hyunjinki1995]

5:40 I would be more shock if someone put an Irish 50p there (large 50p) with a bird on it back then most of Irish coins are same size with the UK counterpart

[@smiffy7890]

I’m going for the larger 50p’s as my choice for ✨ Great stuff Christopher 👍🏻

[@jamesaitken1959]

Chris my sister in England sent me a bu 50pence coin of quegardens do you know what it's worth please aussie colector

[@leecousins4475]

Where do you get these bags from...post office....bank??

[@philcourteney4328]

Anyone remember the old Dick King Smith book, The Queens Nose?

[@hermionegrange72]

I have a 50p with dolphins on, sort of like swimming in a circle. I don't know if it's a rare one or not though.

[@lordmfitzgerald3rd754]

Something tells me that some of the King Charles ones will be worth a lot in the future as he hasn’t got long left.

[@mrwpg]

I remember getting a Kew coin in my pay packet, thought it was nice then put it in a fruit machine...

[@stuartbrown3342]

I love the old 50’s, I still collect them

[@freemorox5896]

My favourite coin was the 50p

[@eddiebeck4757]

I like the old 50p’s (I need one or two for my daddy album) but I have to point out that cos they are bigger and heavier you only got 15 coins in the bag (7 old + 8 new) with a face value of £7.50 not £10 as should be in each bag. Even so they where still a cool find.

[@greystonesgardens7931]

Hello ..in yorkshire call 50p ten bob

[@willemslie]

I remember playing a fruit machine in 1997 when it paid out a new 50p coin. Never having seen one before I took it to the bar and complained that it looked fake. I felt a fight prat when the staff explained.

[@dillbaghdigpal3494]

And the 50p with 4 SHIELDS

[@yvainwalker4504]

Oooh! You don't often come across the old large 50ps! Great video!

[@stephenclark9917]

1969 50p New Pence? When was decimalisation, early 1970's I recall.

[@davidmarchant]

1971 was when decimalisation went live, but coins were minted in advance from 1969 due to the sheer number that was required.

[@gingerninjawhinger9986]

The new silver decimal coins went into circulation in 1969 and ran alongside the 1/- (5p) and 2/- (10p) coins and the 10/- note (50p), not only, as @davidmarchant so rightly says, to pre-empt the sheer volume of coins required to replace the pre-decimal coins in 1971, but also to allow businesses and the general public time to get used to the look and feel of the new coins.

[@jrsc01.]

4:52 Didn't you see that there wasn't even £10 worth in that bag (only £7.50), obviously a person bagged them, handing them in, and by weight they must have weighed the same as a normal bag of 50ps do now. Chancer lol! Funny though.

[@YasAdele90]

Can I have advice on a rare Charles 3rd 50p

[@Ryan-hn1it]

I have no idea why I’m here, but carry on

[@chikabuma111]

bro can i have your collection 😭🤣🪙

[@iftheseoldbeastscouldtalk7796]

I just recently rediscovered your videos and im happy i did!Funny enough the large 50p coins were how I visualized the ones you searched for a while until I realized that the size switch was a thing and you were the one who made me realize.

[@ef1265]

get rid of the ukrainian flag

[@keithmcalister6621]

The IRB Battle of Britain coin 2015, is it a 50p coin or not. It does not say it's a 50 pence coin, where the circulating JC does. What are your thoughts on this, or is it a mule error but not recognised by the Royal Mint.

[@comdam]

the old ones the best finds

[@andrewduffy4034]

Time for a towel change lol

[@jimkhana007]

I’m sure you would t have been bothered if there was a 1992 50p in there… 😁 It very unusual they slipped through as they shouldn’t have weighed correctly at the bank, 🤔

[@rjones6219]

Many years ago I had a student on my computer course from the Royal Mint. During the introductions, I enquired, if he'd brought any free samples, sadly he hadn't 😢

[@neilhawkins9017]

I have a 2009 Kew gardens 50p and 5 different Olympic ones amongst my many 50ps I have collected over the years

[@paulgilliatt7829]

Where do get this bags

[@trail4buddymoore53]

Which is more valuable the original or re-strike Kew

[@gravemind6536]

Original

[@iainmulholland2025]

What is circlation?

[@Ollybus]

I thought we didn’t go decimal until 1972 so how could there be a 1969 50p coin?

[@adammintern3927]

sad just spend them

[@patriciapowers1188]

a couple of years ago at work heard the boss say thats not legal tender so of course i went for a look,,,, he said do you want it Pat so i said yes take it and i will pay for it ,, didnt know anything about big 50ps ,, so when i got home asked on a face book page only to be told it was the duel dated EEC coin ,, worth a bob or 2 ,,, was quite chuffed

[@paulfisher7295]

I stillneed 3 large 50p's for my date run but I'm unwilling to pay extortionate e-bay prices

[@JJ-FRASER-]

Got a bunch of those old chunky 50p coins also a few £5 coins, something you just don’t see anymore !

[@gillianmatthews4014]

Are the old 50ps heavier than new ones?

[@gravemind6536]

Yes

[@HectorKW]

Hi

[@finbar481]

Lol two Diversity in one bag. I still haven't found that one yet 😅

[@lordleonusa]

Have you found out yet why some of the 50p go clank instead of clunk? Are they fakes?

[@digitallukee]

What is the name of the red mat you use for coin hunting? I'm looking for a similar one, thanks

[@mariekane4239]

The old 50 pence with the hands is amazing design have they ever minted the new 50 pence in that design.

[@cweedcoins1640]

great hunt 2 olympics like the large older 50 Ps

[@chazM6116]

old 50p bag only 15 coins short changed due to weight

[@markshellard5894]

[@nickbowes2627]

Thank you fopr helping me get to sleep........

[@rehanhossainalim6038]

Since you dont have any eec 50p in the book… YOU SHOULD PUT THE FIRST ONE IT IN THE BOOK IF IT HAS ENOUGH SPACE!!! If its too big, print its design and put it in the book to show you got that 50p! Lucky for you to get an old 50p!

[@Volvoman90]

Nice to see the old 50s. I love how heavy they are!

[@samanthaschlegel1863]

I think its baise what is used on card tables

Have to admit, I preferred the old ten bob note.

[@nickhale2900]

Oh the irony, just after you opened that dodgy batch of 50ps an advert for the offending bank, Lloyds, popped up on screen.

[@AlrightThere]

Happened to me too

[@juniperbush1442]

My local corner shop always gave me 50ps in my change. Before I took an interest in collecting I TWICE had Kew Gardens and spent it! I was mortified when I realised 😭

[@PeterMonaghan-sk1fj]

Got a Peter rabbit 50p what's it worth 50p

Looks like the carpet needs a clean 😊😊

[@hamzahbutt8233]

I remember a while back, you did a 50p hunt and you surprisingly found a large 50p in one of the bags you opened, I think it was 1983. Now fast forward and to find a handful of them is something special

Are the 1959 p 50 p coin worth anything x

There is no such thing the 50p wasn't minted until 1969

Hello

[@darthappleadventures2797]

👍😎👍

[@mjaymo]

Newbie question, what do you use to clean the coins you keep please?

[@highpath4776]

with the younger cashiers in supermarkets if you pay with something that looks like a 50p they take it as 50p not knowing that the large ones were withdrawn, Dont know if the machines accept them, havent tried.

[@davidmorris7094]

If you knowingly pay with old 50p's or pounds etc you are committing fraud. Therefore you are a thief.

[@highpath4776]

@@davidmorris7094 tokens and trinkers, in some cases to collectors worth more than 50p. Banks will still exchange them

[@gravemind6536]

Technically any territory coins are also not legal tender in the UK and we shouldn't accept them. Of course I accept them and stick them straight in my pocket.
