Old £2 coins - How much are they worth? Are they rare?

How much are the old single colour £2 coins worth? Between 1986 and 1996, 7 commemorative £2 coins were released by the Royal Mint, before the bimetallic coins we hunt through today were released. Buy what are they worth, how much are they to buy or sell and are they really rare?
The Dove of Peace, the Commonwealth Games (Scottish Thistle), the Euro 96, the Bank of England, the United Nations, the Bill of Rights and the Claim of rights. Which is the rarest, what one is worth the most. Let's find out!

No coin deserves to be in a flip. Especially ones with edge inscriptions. It's not just the look of a coin, it's the feel of it too. It was lovely to see you release the dove. 🕊😀 Great info as usual LAFTA 👍

[@LAFTA]

haha, the anti flip movement! ;)

So glad I found this channel, my insomnia has disappeared.

[@LAFTA]

That boring 😆

[@ducklord3604]

You're not going to believe me, but when you mentioned the Claim of right £2, I checked though my coin collection and found not one... but TWO of them! Today is my lucky day! Thanks :)

[@coincollectingfun]

Big like number 128 my friend! Thank you so much for sharing! Excellent video!

[@LAFTA]

Thanks for watching!

This is when the Royal Mint found that a picture paints a thousands words on a coin, shame this was not implemented back in 2020, Great upload LAFTA

[@LAFTA]

Too true Ian, too true!

[@blakeclark8972]

Always a pleasure to watch your vids. So informative, and great quality. Too many others in the same field are just banging out nonstop rubbish lately to get their views up.

[@glynbratcher5338]

First time I've seen values on the single metal coins thank you ☺️

[@LAFTA]

Thanks for watching Glyn!

[@glynbratcher5338]

My pleasure always look forward to seeing your videos 👍

[@LadGlasgow]

I have a £2 coin 1986 commonwealth scotland coin. Its non magnetic. It surely must be worth more than you said at the start of your video, which I may add is well put together 👍👍👍

[@LAFTA]

Unfortunately they are really common. Thanks

[@judes1934]

Fabulous upload again LAFTA 😁👍. A friend only asked me the other day about values of some of these so I will show her this video . I came into coin collecting quite late so I don't have all of them .

[@LAFTA]

Thank you Jude :)

[@johnsaunders5787]

Great Video Lafta. I have all of these £2 coins. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@LAFTA]

[@LAFTA]

Very nice!

[@thecoincollector1]

[@LAFTA]

Thanks smiffy!

[@alenjenkins6121]

Enjoyed the show mate, lucky enough to have all of these

[@LAFTA]

Nice one Alen, great stuff

[@darrencheshire8546]

Great up too date information as always, thanks Lafta

[@LAFTA]

Cheers Darren!

[@andrewgreen2019]

Nice one. Lucky to have all of those

[@LAFTA]

Nice work :)

[@DarranCariadCoins]

Great informative video, I’ve got a full set of these coins and love them.

[@LAFTA]

Nice one Darran. Great set to have

[@JamesStoddah]

I didn't realised there were different Claim and Bill of Right. I've just scurried to my book to check and have two Bills. So will add Claim to my wish list. I do still need Bank of England too. All of them so far I have picked up in circulation.

[@LAFTA]

Ah, shame it wasn't the other way around! haha. Cheers James

[@48thstateprospecting]

I really enjoy these type videos because I’m not from there and had no clue they existed very interesting coin designs and values I liked them all thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@LAFTA]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@365DaysofSilver]

Great video, really interesting

[@mackemmoolah]

I'm lucky to have all of these (a couple of which are proofs) and a few extra spares of a few too. Nice to know the up to date selling prices. Thanks LAFTA 👍

[@LAFTA]

Awesome stuff mate. I got rid of a load of spares I had a while back, somewhat regretting it now!

[@bunglecollects]

Great video LAFTA. I love the old £2 but strangely I really don’t like the old £1. I also never noticed that the Dove doesn’t have the date on either side! Call myself a coin collector! Shocking 😂

[@LAFTA]

Thanks Bungle. I think we are all guilty of overlooking the finer details of some coins!

[@mrmrssnappy9920]

I have them all, was very surprised about the price’s. Nice video 👌👍

[@LAFTA]

Thanks a lot!

[@davidkgame]

Back when I was in 6th form in around 1990, I was working in a local Tesco and someone came in and bought a can of pop and some chocolate with a commemorative £2. I tried to explain at the time that although we could legally take it, they might want to hold on to it for the future. It was, if memory serves, the 1986 Commonwealth Games one, so if it's only worth about £3 or so now, it's probably not so important!

[@LAFTA]

haha, cool memory to have though! Nice one David

[@theofungi6562]

Thank you.

[@LAFTA]

My pleasure 😎

[@squirrellingcoins5483]

These are stunning coins, thanks for the info. x

[@LAFTA]

Thanks for watching SC!

[@glynbratcher5338]

Nice to see the start of the two pound coins but when you say to anyone not knowing,they don't believe you could have a single metal coin

[@LAFTA]

It's funny because they are still legal tender too!

[@glynbratcher5338]

True but try and find one 😂

[@NorthEastCoins]

Again I'm lucky enough to have the full set 😁 and the year set from 1989 and I've found the commonwealth games from 1986 in a hunt 😂 thanks LAFTA another great video 👍

[@LAFTA]

Nice work Dave!

[@paulp4678]

Great vid. I have all of them, but like you my Claim is a proof, although not in a set.

[@LAFTA]

Good stuff Paul

[@C19732]

I got a coin over 25 years ago through work not sure if it was a bill or claim of rights but it was silver coloured not the normal gold coloured. Has anyone else seen one before.

[@patricksalt6797]

Hi just got the Euro 96 in proof along with 1999 and 1997 proof sets from the lady at my local post office 🙂

[@LAFTA]

Awesome stuff! Sounds like a cool lady!

[@2coinaphrase121]

Noooo, that poor flip 😢 amazing coin though 🕊 I think only eclipsed by the footy coin 👏

[@aussmith5335]

I’m only missing the claim of right. Always looking for one at none stupid eBay prices 👍

[@LAFTA]

Yeah I know what you mean. I have my eyes peeled for an affordable 'nice' one as well!

[@crisisioannou]

I only happen to own the dove 🕊 of them lot atm

[@LAFTA]

It's a great design!

[@ian.s424]

Hi Lafta, I have a coin question. With regards to Numista does it recognise Ceylon and Sri Lanka as 2 separate countries in Terms of coins or as one country as it's the same land mass only changed name?? 😁👍

[@LAFTA]

If it's one land mass then it's one country on Numista Ian. Thanks mate.
