I have an S so far from change (quite fitting really), but I've never seen another.

I collect only the 50p just for fun, I don’t expect them to go up in price. I haven’t bought any yet but saw on eBay many fakes Kew Gardens, maybe I will in the future as a gap filler.

I've a complete sealed set from the mint and a folder, recently sold 3 folders on eBay partially filled and was surprised by how much they went for

[Epictetus]

I also wonder what are the minting figures of those £2 coins, I tend to see a lot more designs of those than the 50p ones

Apologies for the late reply but I found myself clicking on the non-PM section out of curiosity when searching for the Today I Received section.

Yes, I’ve got the 10p A to Zs (base metal) stashed somewhere. Bought them uncirculated from the Royal Mint at the time on a whim.

Are you missing any or after the lot, or perhaps you were just making polite conversation?

are they the loose coins or on the RM cards?  I still need some.

If anyone is interested in 50p's, £2 & £5 coins in the RM pack's I'm moving all mine on, already sold loads on ebay and a bulk sale to a member on here just message and I can see what I have left before the rest go on ebay and I'm sure we can come to a deal 👍

I think I still have the RM cards and the BU coins are just in individual plastic wrappers. I never ripped them open and put them in the card’s slots. PM me if I can help.

I collected some of the set's with my brother but he had a very big collection, but I'm more into my gold and silver and I lost the buzz of old style coin collecting when my brother passed, they are mostly all gone now and slowly listing the rest on ebay. The James Bond ones sold very well and made a nice profit.

The Guinness one is a old style £2 coin

I really used to be into collecting £2 coins before Covid. I would go into the bank every week, withdraw about £200 worth, keep the commemorative coins, bank the rest again.

But Covid killed it for me, plus the Royal Mint hasn't released any new commemorative £2 coins into the wild since 2016:

And the news gets worse regarding £2 coins:
