This is the 31st hunt in the series where we buy a sealed £250 bag to see how many commemorative 50p coins I could find for my own collection. The sealed bag was from the Post Office and dated 20th March 2020 and time 16:55:40, so wish us luck!

This was a very good hunt with 21 different commemorative 50p coins and a low mintage 2008 Britannia 50p. Stand-out finds include the 2003 Women’s Social and Political Union 50p and 2018 The Tailor of Gloucester 50p, however the Star Find is pretty awesome and one of my favourite 50p coins! With a mintage of just 1,801,500 this 2017 Sir Isaac Newton 50p is now quite hard to find and worth around £3.
