Any love for circulated CuN fifty pees and 2 pound coins?

[TheShinyStuff]

First, apologies for posting here - this is NOT about Silver or Gold coins. As noted a few times the non PM section can be a bit of a graveyard, so I've posted here - if anyone is mortally affronted I'll ask a mod to move it.

Anyway, like many people I accumulated the special reverse 50p & £2 coins from change over the years. After having a nostalgic look at them a few days ago, I noticed there were loads of multiples. So after keeping one of each for posterity I have left £60 of 2 pound coins and £90 of 50p coins. (No Kew Gardens...)

So question is, are these saleable? Do our members with an ebay presence sell them? Does anyone just collect/stack them?

Not looking to get rich, but if anyone wants them more than I do or can make a buck on them, then give me a shout.

@Midasfrog is the man in the know, believe he runs a 50p club. 

@GoldDiggerDave has an interest too I believe.

I was selling Jemima puddle duck’s circulation 50p for £4.50-£6.50 each.

the most I got was £48 for the ireland common wealth £2 coin.

The 50p club would be interested in these 👍 its a non profit making club I loose money every week that its run 😂 on Mondays after school when 50ps are available .

I know the Jemimas were quite popular, swear I had a few, but can't find them. Best ones I have are a few WWF (my favourite design) and an Olympic football, which I think is also worth a wee bit more than 50p - maybe a quid!

I'd take it as a compliment, before asking if you were working for GoldCore or London Mint Office!

I forgot to include the London Mint Office copyright link:

There was another later one, but I can't find it.

ah, the silver/gold gateway drug!

 

yes, yes/sometimes but not so much now, yes. there are some i still want/need but ......

depends on what you have so you really need to list them rather than saying let me know what you want.

on here its a bit quiet as you mention for non pm.  the well known youtuber christopher collects has his own discord server where it is much much busier to swap and sell.  fleabay, you a shark or minnow?  i still sometimes buy from there but selling, not so much now due to fees, unrealistic buyers and or conmen.  there are also various coin groups on facebook where some people are obviously dealers and sometimes normal collectors selling doubles but can be cheaper than fleabay.

Thanks, I get your point, but I'm not going to list over 200 coins, it's more if you're interested in a job lot as described. It's only £150 face value.

I don't use ebay at all, nor discord - they go here or they go to the post office!

Not 50p or £2 coins, but I collect the 1992-2008 10p by die variety.

Never even considered such a thing, so did a quick Google! Every day is a school day. Thanks.
