I've been binging your videos for hours, I dont collect coins nor did I have an interest in it, but your videos were in my recommended and now in obsessed with watching you collect. I get excited for you when you get something good now 😂
A friend of mine once made a 50p coin out of grey steel, he cast it in sand, it weighed a lot more than a real one but was perfect in every detail and asked about it, he said a nephew of his whom he'd given as a curio for his collection, actually spent it. I doubt it's still in circulation but you never know. The 50 p had just got into circulation and he wanted to show off how good he was at his skill as a stump moulder.
Its quite strange, as five years ago, whilst receiving change from a London taxi driver, i received two Kew Gardens coins in my change, ive kept both of them. I believe the Issac Newton 2018 coin, is now the rarest 50p, as it never went into general circulation, and was only available for visitors to the Mint.
Inspired by you ... Decided to give this hobby a crack , Went to the bank got my £250 bag and the second bag i opened was a Kew Gardens looks like i have an addiction now .. By the way love the way your voice raises when you find something cracks me up
Hefty Sack the other day was in the pub and asked for change for the pool table and they just opened a new bag of 50p's everyone in the bag was a different Olympic coin many I've not seen before, me and the landlord ended up splitting the bag between us.
I started collecting 50p coins a few months as a way to save some cash. Its turned into a hobby. I've got 241 of which 24 of them are special designs. My favourite one is the Issac Newton coin. Is it worth anything more then face value. Not that I have any intention of selling it :-)
My uncle chucks all of his change into a pot after work and every time a pot/tub gets full up, I get to count it all and put it into bags (I love counting coins) The weekend we just had, I counted £588 pounds in one pot, I found a few ‘special’ 50ps as I like to call them 5 Benjamin bunny’s 2 Peter rabbits 2 Beatrix potters A floppy bunny There were some other ones I think maybe an Olympics one or a war one I can’t remember But I really wanna find loads of special 50p coins, just to keep them Cos they look cool Probably put them in a pot or a book like you I also found 2 £2 coins that had Brunel on them? Another £2 that I think had a woman who went to war? I’m not sure But if you see this, did you buy all of those 50p coins on something like eBay or whatever? (I don’t do shopping I have no clue) or another site? Or did you just collect them over the years? -this is the first video I’ve seen by you but I have defo subbed because I wanna know how to sort the special coins out (or something?) 😋❤️❤️
I’ve just started collecting 50p coins. Been collecting £2 too. I have a few that you have. But got a long way to go before I have the amount you have. You found any Disney ones?
Hello Chris. Apols if you have been asked before but how do you get these big sacks of coins? I assume you cant just rock up at a branch and ask for them. Do you get them from a High Street branch but give them advanced notice of order? Please explain. Many thanks.
Could u tell me how much the benjamin bunny 50p is worth. Ill be grateful. Also the paddington 50p eating a marmalade sandwich. I have them both so I'm curious.
WHAT?! Every other 50p coin I have in my purse is worth up to £3 just because of where I live?! Shame it doesn’t work like that in shops when we come over to England! 🤣🤣
Christopher, I'm fairly new to modern coin collecting, I've got some great old gold coins collection, I've been wondering how you cash in the coins you don't need later on, do you use the same bank you've got the coins from? Thank you in advance.
Can I just ask, as there are two different 2015 ten pence pieces, is one more valuable than the other?? One JC one IRB. Fourth and fifth portrait of the Queen??
i have 14 50ps i found in one day from going to the shops in change i also have 2 £2 is there any advice for new young collectors in starting a collection
Hi Chris, is there a list of the 50ps that you are trying to collect for your book? (I know there are lists of 50ps out here but I'm specifically looking for ones in circulation that you may actually find, exactly what you've got.)
What do you do with all of your duplicates?? Do you keep them? Would be nice to put them back into circulation so that others stand a chance of finding them too.
I always think it's a shame that we have lost all our old pre-Decimalisation coins (eg 1947 and onwards five & ten pence pieces etc). Thanks for the videos - very informative.
Yo I know nothing about coin collecting n stuff but I saw a 2006 Victoria cross 50p coin a while back and kept it cause I thought I could sell it how much is a decent price for it?
In the cafe that I work at, somebody payed for their food in all 50ps and I ended up with 6 Olympics and isaac Newton!
Wow!!!
Me: *Spends 5Op straight away*
Most people here: *Collects 50p as their habit*
🤣🤣
I love collecting them 😆
@@Reece10. u can sell them for alot
Samanta T I used to spend them all. Now I save every single one
pretty fun tbh can make money I'm selling some now on eBay and are on like 300 quid in like 3 days hoping to get at least 400 500
there is something relaxing in watching this coin hunts. keep the good work
Thanks!

Very nice! The Strike your own are pretty expensive haha
I find this video weirdly relaxing
Thanks!
I think the innocence of this video accompanied by this soft music just makes it soothing and a great pastime.
Same and i don't know why
Its the tone of his voice, its very calm and not obnoxious at all, love the videos btw
Great video.2009 shield, three Olympic's and if that wasn't enough. One Benjamin bunny away from 500.
Haha it was a great hunt!
Excellent finds in this video. Only two left to get to complete you book.
Almost there haha!
WOW! Just WOW! 🤑 Top class Christopher!
😁👍
You are very knowledgeable on this subject and you have inspired me to collect 50ps cheers
Thanks!

What do you do with the swaps you get ? Where do you sell them or trade ????
Awesome hunt nice one mate. I found a Queen of Gibraltar 2014 barbary ape at the weekend I was so chuffed to add it to the collection 👍
Nice!
Think I might need to pop to the bank later and get some more change 😉
Could you imagine how fascinated his grand children in the future would be seeing his coin collection
What an incredible luck. The woohoo's were out in fashion today! :-)

Cracking hunt. Most olympics I've ever found in £250 is just 2 lol

My uncle chucks all of his change into a pot after work and every time a pot/tub gets full up, I get to count it all and put it into bags (I love counting coins)
The weekend we just had, I counted £588 pounds in one pot, I found a few ‘special’ 50ps as I like to call them
5 Benjamin bunny’s
2 Peter rabbits
2 Beatrix potters
A floppy bunny
There were some other ones I think maybe an Olympics one or a war one
I can’t remember
But I really wanna find loads of special 50p coins, just to keep them Cos they look cool
Probably put them in a pot or a book like you
I also found 2 £2 coins that had Brunel on them?
Another £2 that I think had a woman who went to war? I’m not sure
But if you see this, did you buy all of those 50p coins on something like eBay or whatever? (I don’t do shopping I have no clue) or another site? Or did you just collect them over the years?
-this is the first video I’ve seen by you but I have defo subbed because I wanna know how to sort the special coins out (or something?)
😋❤️❤️
I'm trying to get the flopsy bunny coin, she's so sweet looking, I was thinking of trying to do some artsy stuff like painting them or something
Neat!
Wow what a good bag!
😁
Hey Christopher, thoughts on the alphabet 10p? Are all the letters the same value or are some rarer than others?
I'm not sure
Wow just wow 😲
Edit: didn’t realise coin cupboard had literally said the same thing 😆
😂
I’ve just started collecting 50p coins. Been collecting £2 too. I have a few that you have. But got a long way to go before I have the amount you have. You found any Disney ones?
Great hunt .wish I would have found the Olympic 50ps.
Keep hunting!

Hi its sam hope here, what a hunt, some great finds
Thanks!
Mkay his little woo hoos are so wholesome. Kinda like super Mario odyssey but I love this video
Can I please ask you a question is it rare for Johnson dictionary coin the 213 to be upside down or not
Could u tell me how much the benjamin bunny 50p is worth. Ill be grateful. Also the paddington 50p eating a marmalade sandwich. I have them both so I'm curious.
R4H33L there’re both worth face value (50p)
Never knew this channel existed. ❤
WHAT?! Every other 50p coin I have in my purse is worth up to £3 just because of where I live?! Shame it doesn’t work like that in shops when we come over to England! 🤣🤣
Wow nice haha
Where can you get the wallet inserts of all the coins you need to collect
eBay. I buy mine there
They were made for me by a subscriber
Nice find Christopher what a nice Olympic to find well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks!
WowzzA 😳 what great luck 👌🏻
😁👍
Great video. Are you doing to start a new book after Olympic wrestling or keep going for that 3rd KEW?
I'll keep on for the wrestling then round the series to the nearest 10 and restart I think
Christopher, I'm fairly new to modern coin collecting, I've got some great old gold coins collection, I've been wondering how you cash in the coins you don't need later on, do you use the same bank you've got the coins from? Thank you in advance.
Hi good videos, what do you do after you have sorted the coins? Do you just take them back to the bank and annoy them??
How many kew gardens have you found doing videos?
Great video as always, Christopher 😊
Thanks!
No way! You actually found a 2009 shield! Thats INSANE!!!
OnyX Gaming why..are they low mintage ? Or were they released in collectors sets only ?
Madness haha!
What about the 2017 sheilds I read somewhere online that these are low mintage as well or am I wish full thinking haha.
OnyX Gaming I think I have seen one of those I just collect ones that I find cool
Can I just ask, as there are two different 2015 ten pence pieces, is one more valuable than the other?? One JC one IRB. Fourth and fifth portrait of the Queen??
Both are common, but there are less of the IRB minted
I don't think either are rare sorry
Where do you get the big bags of 50ps from?
i have 14 50ps i found in one day from going to the shops in change i also have 2 £2 is there any advice for new young collectors in starting a collection
May I ask where did you require the £250 bag of 50p coins from ?
Hi mate which banks do you get them from? And do they ask why you need them? Wanting to get bags myself for hunting
Loved this video ive not been collecting for long but i have £24 in 50ps think im gonna keep on trying to find that kew gardens 🤣
Hello I have the Battle of Britain IRB one. How much is it worth and is it worth keeping on to ?
I have a 2005 Saxon 50p, that I found on our beach whilst metal detecting. Any thoughts please?
I found a £2 coin with the central part neatly the same colour as the outer circle
Oh how weird
That can be rare and up its value
Hi Chris, is there a list of the 50ps that you are trying to collect for your book? (I know there are lists of 50ps out here but I'm specifically looking for ones in circulation that you may actually find, exactly what you've got.)
Change checker have a lot of information about them I use the site all the time
AWWGH MAN! my dad had a really rare Kew gardens 50p :( but he had to spend it... but do you know what a scare crow 50p mintage is? And how rare it is?
Man that’s unlucky. They’re worth £200
This is a pretty good channel
Thank you!
Where do you get these bags of coins from?
😊😊😊woop woop xx love the Olympic coins xx

What do you do with all of your duplicates?? Do you keep them? Would be nice to put them back into circulation so that others stand a chance of finding them too.
I keep the rarer ones the rest go back to the bank
Does anyone know where Chris gets his collectors books? Just for 50p's?
Every one I've bought has various sizes.
I buy them from eBay

11:42 a 2011 coin. Definetly a rare.
My bet is someone cashed in at your bank.
If only that 2009 shield was a kew...
Hahaha
Where do you go to get your coins? Banks in my area say about business accounts for that much chamge
I have a business account which makes a difference in some places

He does date order, and so do I!
@@JD-pu4mq ok thanks
Date order
Hi I have the tale of Peter rabbit coin I’m not sure if it’s rare and I want to start a 50p collecting, Love the videos!

Pretty ironic with your user
Hay can I ask wear did you get the book to put them in?
How rare are the new 2019 Paddington bear 50p coins?

Where do you get your money exchanged for all those 50p's?
hi mate any idea how much the old 50p with the hands going round pls

Have you got wwf

What's the most Olympics you've ever gotten in a single hunt (£250)?

So how much is the dictionary one? I have 2005 and found prices from 1.99 to 2,500?
Wow what a find 2009 shield keep them good videos coming 👍🏻

Damn there was me thinking the shield ones were the norm. What makes the 2009-11 ones so more valuable then?
