This is the 2nd hunt in the series where we buy a closed bag of £250 worth of 50 pences to see how many commemorative 50p coins I could find for my own collection. The sealed bag was from Birmingham dated 22-01-2020. This is what we found:
4x 2019 Paddington at St Paul’s
2x 2017 Benjamin Bunny
2x 2000 Public Libraries
2x 2005 Samuel Johnsons Dictionary
2x 2016 Peter Rabbit
2x 2017 Peter Rabbit
2x 2018 Representation of the People Act
1x 2010 Girlguiding 50p
1x 2011 London Olympic Judo
1x 2014 Commonwealth Games
1x 2016 Mrs Tiggy-Winkle
1x 2017 Jeremy Fisher
1x 2017 Tom Kitten
1x 2018 Mrs Tittlemouse
1x 2018 Paddington at Buckingham Palace
1x 2019 Paddington at the Tower
2x 2008 Britannia
1x 2017 Gibraltar 5th Anniversary of the Referendum
Once again it was a great hunt with quite a lot of commemorative 50p coins. Getting an Olympic coin was awesome and the Star Find in this hunt was actually a territory coin, the 2017 Gibraltar 5th Anniversary of the Referendum. It will cost around £3.50 to pick up a good quality one on ebay.
