    I can't help thinking that the astronomically high prices asked for some of the coins on Ebay are linked to money laundering.

    The coin to which you are referring is worth more if it has the wrong date on it. We were originally meant to leave the EU in October 2019 but this was delayed and some of the coins had the October date printed on them and it is these which carry a high price

    There’s a car dealer near where I live. He is barely there. Rare that cars get sold. Cars are somewhat over priced. Yet his wealthy looking chap, my best guess is it’s a front for washing money. Just like these coins on eBay for stupid money

    One pound fifty is 200% profit and also worth keeping for the future. I check every 50p and £2 I get in my change. I thought every one into collectables would love coins with pictures on! Something doesn't have to be worth half a million to bother with. I look for four leaf clovers. One in ten thousand clovers has four leaves. It's exciting when you find one and they just cost you time.

    I'm in my local post office every week. I saved my first King Charles 50p from them (January 2023?). The PO said they won't get any more as each PO only gets a specific limited amount. I've never seen another King 50p in any change since (I saw a couple before from people I know). It's unusual because it has no date on it. Never seen any other King coins either but I have the full set of notes 🙂

    Don't confuse listing prices for value/worth or sale prices. There are a lot of people who list things for extortionate amounts. There was a converted bus for 1,000,000 buy it now, a week later it was on for 135,000, I strongly suspect it will sell for less than 50,000

    oh dear David....bit naughty....as others have said, one must check what things actually sold for, not what they are being offered for on ebay...Incidently, interesting you picked the Brexit coin.I believe there are some coins out there with a different year.The Royal Mint struck a load of coins to celebrate Brexit but due to the long drawn out process, they had to be melted down and a new year was restruck. A few of these coins seem to have escaped and are in general circulation or with collectors.These ones are worth quite a bit, but nothing like £ 1/2 M

    The Atlantic salmon one is already hitting hundreds of pounds to buy. It's a nice coin, attractive, and certainly quite rare. It's feasible that if there are rare Brexit 50ps there might be those with misprints or incorrect dates.

    David. You may be an expert in antiques but clearly you are not an expert in numismatics. There are absolutely no 50p coins, whether circulated, uncirculated, proof, gold, whatever are worth anything like that or even close and the same goes for any UK minted coin, even those hundreds of years old.
