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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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?) 😋❤️❤️
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.
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
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?
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??
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 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 just wanted to know where can I sell those coin . I have lot of them but I have put it in Ebay no one seems like interested. Any shop around any one have idea ?
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! 🤣🤣
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

Legend has it man is rich now 😂
What an amazing amount of collectable 50p coins. I collect 50p's but don't have much opportunity to pick them up at the bank here in America.
Oh I'd imagine not haha
Just brilliant. Wow unbelievable luck. The coin gods have blessed you today. Nice! X
Haha thanks
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
Have you got wwf
WOW! Just WOW! 🤑 Top class Christopher!
😁👍
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!
What's the most Olympics you've ever gotten in a single hunt (£250)?
7 I believe? Might be 9 🤣
@@ChristopherCollects my gosh, I legitimately expected it to only be 4!
Where can you get the wallet inserts of all the coins you need to collect

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

Edit: didn’t realise coin cupboard had literally said the same thing 😆
