This is the 32nd 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 6th Aug 2020 and time 17:23:37, so wish us luck!
4x 2005 Samuel Johnsons Dictionary 50p
3x 2017 Benjamin Bunny 50p
3x 2019 Paddington at the Tower 50p
2x 2019 Paddington at St Paul’s 50p
2x 2020 Brexit 50p
1x 2003 Women’s Social and Political Union 50p
1x 2004 Roger Bannister 50p
1x 2006 Victoria Cross 50p
1x 2006 Victoria Cross Soldier 50p
1x 2011 London 2012 Handball 50p
1x 2013 Christopher Ironside 50p
1x 2014 Commonwealth Games 50p
1x 2017 Tom Kitten 50p
2x 2017 Shield 50p
1x 2008 Isle of Man Milner’s Tower 50p
It is always great to find the 2003 Women’s Social and Political Union 50p with a mintage of 3,124,030 as it is pretty hard to find. The 2008 Isle of Man Milner’s Tower 50p was also a nice find however with all of the Isle of Man coins we do not know what the mintage is.
Today’s Star Find is of course the 2011 London 2012 Handball 50p with a mintage of just 1,676,500 and worth around £2.50.
Make sure to check back for many more hunts!
