A couple of Korean Phoenix (or is it phoenixes or phoenices)? A long but worthwhile wait from @Panda6Pack Slightly contemplating the Gold verison... But that would involve probably copying the plotline to Indecent Proposal!

Exactly my thinking, the fact you can get an ungraded for about 300. Does a graded 70 really uplift by a grand???

Got my gold Rosalind Franklin 50p!

Very funny @richatthecroft My wife is making some for local community with spare fabric she has in her stash. One of the mask design versions i've termed a Brask! I got myself a darth vader one:

Thanks @Roy for the Q word. And highlighting it @dicker Something new i learnt today! I work on new technology using Organoids - so thats your new word for today!

Disney does open the door to other collectors... Some info from a possible ITK on Fb - i'll update once details released in the Gazette! The RM will issue a series of new Winnie the Pooh 50p coins. The designs are... Winnie the Pooh accompanied by the inscription “WINNIE THE POOH” Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh accompanied by the inscription “CHRISTOPHER ROBIN' A depiction of Piglet accompanied by the inscription “PIGLET”.

Like wise @LawrenceChard might have some insight?

As a quick sanity check, worth checking the old sales posts on here from Aug/Sept 2011 when silver was about £25/oz and see what coins/bars were going for? Edit - i dont think there are posts from that time!

After the Hawking, i said if i'm collecting anything 50p wise it will be the Science series. I dont mind the design, and 250 mintage is appealing. How many of the 400 collectors of the Hawking, want this 2nd in series like me?

I've been having a nightmare trying to buy one - error code everytime at the payment bit!

here's my one @Paul & @BrumChris

Its a great coin @Paul, i had my eye on it for a while and finally bit the bullet. Love a phoenix me! Take care with pricing, the £1500 ones you showed are the higher mintage bullion bunc versions. The one i have and is the lot at the auction is a proof. Less than 20 are graded PF70 on ngc! I paid quite a bit more than the starting bid!

I own one of these in 70. Ill be interested to know what it goes? Hard to find a value as not often seen apart from q couple on the 'bay
