Olympic 50p Coins - Are they RARE? What are they worth?

[@SmokeyBstard]

Recently started collecting & today I picked up my first 3 Olympic coins (canoeing, tennis & wrestling) in £100 worth of 50's! I have never seen them before so I couldn't believe it to get them in one hit. Enjoying the vids- I'm learning a lot, keep it up 👍

[@terrytt5067]

Thanks for this video. In 1966 I started collecting pre decimal coins, mainly pennies. I'd save up my pocket money until I had a few Bob, go down to the local bank where the Staff kindly let me into a room, (gave me a glass of squash) with a HUGE bag of pennies I couldn't even lift. I'd sift through them and the ones I wanted I'd exchange with my pocket money. School & Military interrupted me collecting for years until I returned to permanent residency to resume my Want! I started collecting 50ps as soon as they started and have amassed quite a collection, including the Olympic collection. I think I'm one short. The Offside Rule I've been fortunate with and have 5 or 6, and I'm keeping the lot of them! I basically save anything British and have some East African coins as well; (father stationed there with the British Army) some with holes in the middle; maybe so they could be worn around the neck if the owners didn't have pockets. I also have a decent collection of Silver Thrupennies & Tanners (6d). I collect as it gives me satisfaction and a sense of history, not for financial gain. It's something to leave to my loved ones! Also due to injury I cannot undertake my passions of Scuba Diving, Archery, Ten Pin Bowling and other physical sports! I betcha a few other collectors may have similar stories to tell. Have a safe day.

What a great comment, thanks a lot Terry!!

[@martindack60]

Thanks for the updated values. I’ve been able to find all of them in the last 12 months so they are still out there if you are lucky

[@LAFTA]

Wow, that's good going!

[@johnsaunders5787]

Another Great Video Lafta 👍

[@LAFTA]

Cheers John, hope you're well!

[@jonathanwoodrow8975]

Nice video, don't think I've seen anyone do this with just the Olympics set. 👍

[@LAFTA]

Thanks for watching mate

[@paulmcqueen367]

An excellent video about a lot of peoples favourite set of coins, i am fortunate enough to have 5 full sets in fact i only need triathlon and Judo for 6 complete sets and i have 15 towards a 7th set,thanks for sharing this i think i may do a sheet dedicated to Olympics including the 3 £2 and the 2016 team GB olympic coin and the Tokyo coin i think that would be cool. All the best.

[@LAFTA]

Wow, you’re smashing it Paul! And yeah, go for it, that would be cool

[@judes1934]

Great video LAFTA. Nice to know up to date values 😊👍. I do have a couple of sets . Wheelchair Rugby is my favourite of the set . One that tends to stay in good condition probably because of its design.

[@smiffy7890]

The Olympic 50p’s are pretty cool, I quite often change my mind which is my favourite!! I’ll say Basketball 🏀 with the textured finish Great stuff LAFTA 👍🏻

[@tonysmedley3078]

Got them all, didn’t know the values,thank you

[@TenBob]

Great up to date info on the 29 Olympic 50p’s. I would love to find the 2009 BP version. I have a nice set in an Olympic album and one full set in my coin hunt album no 1. 😎🍀💜

[@LAFTA]

A hunters dream would be to find one of those two NIFC Olympics! Imagine!! :)

[@georginaevans6631]

i have got all 29 of them Olympic they was every had to find so i have got one set

[@LAFTA]

Awesome!

[@bunglecollects]

Love these valuation videos 👌🏻

[@LAFTA]

Cheers Bungle

[@ThirdLanark]

Just searched through my money jar containing £1000+, mostly £2 coins, but lots of 50p's. Found fencing, gymnastics and shooting all in good condition, they've been in there a few years.

[@LAFTA]

Result! 👌

[@darrencheshire8546]

Thanks Lafta. Stay safe buddy

[@LAFTA]

Cheers Darren, all the best mate

[@blakeclark8972]

Another excellent valuation video. I've used all this data to make a spreadsheet to keep track of my collection value. Could you do an up-to-date one for the rest of the 50p's and all the £2's with the mintage figures too please??

[@LAFTA]

I'm sure we can sort that out in the near future Blake, thanks a lot.

[@lilljohn111]

Nice video I've got the folder with all 50ps and the completer medallion plus the 2 pound coin

[@LAFTA]

Nice work John!!

[@lilljohn111]

Thanks bud

[@keithmoss1655]

Hi , I have all the Olympic 50p coins. I also have many duplicates, such as offside football plus many others.

[@LAFTA]

Awesome work Keith! Olympics are a great long term collection in my opinion.

[@mackemmoolah]

I know I've got at least 3 full sets, most obtained through coin hunts, but Judo is my nemesis Olympic. Only ever found 1 in a hunt. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@LAFTA]

They're pricey for a reason! Only 1 football ever for me. I do wish I ahd kept a tally of all finds ever. Bit of a project to go back and count them all now via the videos!

[@declanwhelan9707]

Nice video I have 1 full set but still looking!

[@LAFTA]

Always looking for more mate haha, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ianritchie9017]

Q which word was replaced with friendship on the Olympic rowing 50p? I know the answer, but I thought I’d test your grey cells😀 It was nice to see an increase on a few of the coins just outside of the top 5. Goalball in particular. Keep it up buddy

[@mrmrssnappy9920]

I have two full set’s. The third set I need 11 the fourth set I need 26. Great video 👌👍

[@CortinasAndClassics]

I wish I had more. Only 2 at the moment, basketball and archery.

[@LAFTA]

Decent start!

[@royspc]

I have a full set in a Royal Mint album and a second set in my coin album plus I have the completers medallion. Any idea what the medallion is worth please?

[@LAFTA]

About £45/50, beware of snide ones though Roy, loads of fakes knocking about mate. Thanks for watching.

[@Metanoiosz]

I have the full set, I got it last year around 27 pounds worth money in an auction here in Hungary. I guess here they do not have a clear idea how much they worth. I have another half set, in it I got football for less then 2 pounds. Crazy.

[@LAFTA]

That's amazing! Makes me want to tour Europe on the hunt for coins haha!

[@glynnewbold6103]

I have 2 full sets , need football for set 3 , football and triathlon for set 4 , and around 60 swaps. Always searching.

[@LAFTA]

Very nice!

[@johnwilliams2646]

Thank you, very informative, fortunately I have all 29.

[@LAFTA]

Nice work John! Not easy to find all of them!

[@its_marc]

Got them all as I cheated and bought them! Only ever found 3 I think! Always surprises me how little they are worth considering their collectibility.

[@LAFTA]

Yeah me too. It’s due to a lot of people having a lot of them and just selling them constantly. Keeps the prices down.

[@crisisioannou]

Nice1 lafta I actually started out by collecting the full set individually then just ended buying the full set off ebay I actually got a excellent condition football from using a taxi service 😅 👌

[@patrickoneill5264]

I have only managed to get 24 someday might get the last of them wish me luck thanks for the information Lafta

[@LAFTA]

Keep on hunting mate!

[@stephenhalpin8307]

Yes I have all the Olympics. Can u tell me what price would jemima puddleduck is worth thanks.

[@LAFTA]

It’s on my Top 10 rarest video. But around £8-12

[@syph92]

I wish i had them all, the only one i have is Triathlon so far

[@LAFTA]

That's a great one to start with Iain!!

[@kevcox5585]

I've got none of them, but maybe one day one will appear in my change..

[@LAFTA]

Keep on hunting Kev!

[@48thstateprospecting]

I don’t have any yet but they are impossible to find in my change or at the bank…. Matter of fact I’ve never received any 50p back in change… Definitely a bucket list item to get them all. I do have a Sherlock, signed Benjamin bunny and a 70th jubilee 🤩 however I do find brand new minted 2017-2022 cents just laying around in car parks constantly and the occasional 5 cents and 25 cents 😂 thanks for the updates on the values do you have the expensive non circulation Olympic in your collection lafta? Thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@gravemind6536]

I Got the Table tennis coin and the £2 London underground Roundel, those are the 2 most value coins I've recieved from customers so they do show up now and again.

[@48thstateprospecting]

@@gravemind6536 nice 👍🏼👊🏼 the reason I don’t find any is because I’m in the USA sigh the ones I do have Dan (master temple ) sent them to me was very cool to get them

[@pagrant]

At my last count I got around 14 unique ones and a couple of doubles and triples

[@LAFTA]

Decent! Keep on hunting!

[@pagrant]

@@LAFTA Thanks

[@jamesayers5182]

Missing 2 from the set, Judo and the Triathlon

[@LAFTA]

Nearly there!! At least you’ve got a football, took me sooooo long to find one!

[@jt5081]

Just 10 all found in change, not a hunter, interesting prices

[@LAFTA]

Nice work J T! Nice to know what ones to keep your eyes peeled for ;)

[@glowingmadsx]

On the Olympic football one’s my dad has loads of them omg

[@pagrant]

I got a few in my change this year

[@LAFTA]

Nice work, keep using cash!

[@aleddavies770]

Is a full set worth more?

[@LAFTA]

Not really. You would get more by selling them individually.

[@peterskelton7641]

Ive got total 81 of these coins 27 different ones

[@LAFTA]

Which two do you still need?

[@NIFC.KING2022]

I have a few sets and spares 🙂

[@LAFTA]

Nobody is surprised about that lol, what are you going to do once the bank fees kick in? Lol

[@paulp4678]

I have a couple of sets.

[@LAFTA]

Nice work Paul

[@alfayezk]
