Even with a £250 bag of coins, it is becoming more difficult to find the "rarer" coins with low mintage. For me, the best of this batch were the Olympic shooting and that Isaac Newton coin !! You're right, not many of these knocking about these days:
I’m sure all the designers get a brief of what needs to be included on the design of a coin so if a visual representation of the coin doesn’t shout out the message their trying to convey then the coin with only text gets chosen. I think ‘75 Years of the National Health Service’ around the outside and ‘I❤NHS’ in the centre would of been a better option. Nice Isaac Newton Great stuff LAFTA 👍🏻
I used to work in a betting shop, I would swap all 50p coins and 10p alphabet coins. Everyday I’d check the tills and safe and swap my money for coins. One day I found a Kew Gardens in a 50p money bag. I sold it on eBay for 130 pound 3 years ago, should of kept it.
A fantastic hunt LAFTA . Great Olympic , Beatrix Potter 2018 and Newton find 😁👌👌. You see very few in hunts these days. Thank you for answering my question , that is my choice of favourite too 😊👍.
Good answer to my question, thanks. I agree, except maybe your a tad hard on Dictionary. It's literally commemorating a book that's a list of words and I feel it's quite a clever design. Newton is awesome. It's so scarce because most collectors love it and keep it. That would explain that there's no market for it either- because everyone has one? Just a guess really, but it should be worth more imo.👍
I quite liked the hunter coin ❤. And fairly adapt for the coin hunt 😂. Lovely seeing filter through the bags and anticipation what you'd find 😅. Enjoyed seeing the current values as well as circulated amounts 😅. Great finds 😀
Hi this was very interesting just wondering do you know anything about the Peter rabbit coin with him holding some carrot's I'd like to know how much its worth and how many was minted. Also where is the best place to sell my spare coins I'm not sure what to do? Your advice would really be appreciated. Thanks
Hi I've only just started collecting 50p I do it with my granddaughter (8) she loves it were do I get these unopened bags or is it irrelevant what I purchase ??? And my granddaughters question for you're next episode is hopefully below this 😂😂😂
Any coins that are "polished" will be destroyed anyway. These are circulating coins that have passed through many hands, another set of hands isn't going to make much difference!
Awesome Stuff LAFTA 👏🏻🙂 The Issac Newton is still definitely my favourite 50p and I've several in my collection because of that 🙂 But you are getting some cracking finds of late 👌🏻 Keep up the fantastic work mate, And a very Happy 2023 to you and your family, All the Best, Mark 👍🏻
Fabulous hunt the three coin’s in your hand are brilliant. Regarding the Issac Newton’s do you think the mintage figure’s be wrong? I could be wrong.👌👍
I’ve got a 2005 Johnson’s dictionary 1755, a 2006 VC, a 2010 100 years girl guides, a 2007 1907 be prepared Boy Scout, a 2015 Battle of Britain , a 2013 Benjamin Britten, a 2019 Sherlock and finally a 1994 D-Day landings. Which one is worth the most?
good hunt i think coins are getting harder to find i don't think the new coins should get released in the post office i think to too many are keep them and putting them on ebay what do you think
Hi I have 999.5pt platinum £10 coin 9,999 minted? Do u have any idea what it’s worth and where I could sell? It was to cremated the platinum jubilee also bunk kew garden or 2019 50p coin pack or the 2021 1p - £5 coin set worth.
Issac Newton 50p is a top find.. here's a question for you .. I was going to ask Mr C . Collects ... but , if you found a Kew in your hunt ... but it was a 2019 anniversary re-strike ... would it count ? so you could fill the book and move on ...
No it wouldn't , that's a completely different coin with a different year. They were only issued as commemoratives in 2019 and not issued for circulation, but are still legal tender so if someone spent it and you find one its still worth about £50-£60.
I have 5 Canadian coins with Elizabeth and D.G. Regina on one side and on other side is the dates and KG mint mark and 2 leaves . 4 are copper ( brown) and 1 is shiny goldfish color and her crown is different on it
I am now hooked - where can I find a list of minted coins? I want to collect all the 1p and work my way up tp £2. My wife already has lots of 50p and even a 1983 £1- is it realy worth £1000 or is that just hype? hers is starting to go green
£1000 for a 1983 £1? No chance, maybe some confusion with the 1983 New Pence 2p coin. The Royal Mint website is good for figures, there is also Numista.com which is a very good database. Maybe also worth a look at changechecker.org
I think you must be confused, there are only 210,000 Kew Gardens 50p from 2009, I have only ever found two in the tens of thousands of coins I have looked through.
Great hunt the I.N. Is an excellent design in my opinion and I agree will be worth more eventually. Question do you own the strike your own Isaac Newton from 2018? I hear it’s mintage numbers may be rarer than the kew? Thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
The low value of the I.N. fifty pence could be the same reason for the low value of the Olympic coins, some one is keeping the price low for some reason, who and why? thats the question
i have got loads of 2009 kew garden's i had a hunch i dont collect coins but just thought i would order £250 worth just keeping them they will only keep going up. maybe i should get more celabratory coins when they come out and just wait see what happens. the most i have been offerd for 1 50 id £720 not sure if that is only going to go up
You keep going a bit too fast turning those coins over and some we don’t even see as you take it out along another one. Please slow down just a bit please. 😊
Got to live the coin bug! Not sure what you mean about the A-Zs? Maybe the next video started playing before your comment or something like that? Thanks for watching!!
Looking for 50p worth more than 50p? Why not transfer 'perceived' extra value into real silver bullion coins. I find this perceived extra value reminiscent of a beanie babies hype. Perhaps it's a method of Ebay money laundering!
It's not perceived extra value, the market is very stable. The beauty of 'investing' in 50ps is the ability to find some that are worth 10x/20x or even 360x Face Value. Tell me where I can find silver that is instantly worth 20x what I found it for, or 360x what I found it for. It's nothing to do with money laundering, just because you don't understand a market, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist... P.S. I love silver too ;)
@@LAFTA it's good that you could be converting your sales into intrinsic value. Remember that enhanced value of 50p is only realised when you can get someone to take them off your hands.
None of them are worth anything really...there's shed loads the same on ebay ..you might be lucky to make a few pence on each one but not worth your time really
And I have 3 Canadian brownish (copper), with Georgivs VI DEI GRATIA. REX- they have 3 dates 1947-1944_ 1952 are these and the other ones I txt to you are they worth anything?
With so many collectors these days, it’s difficult to find anything in my change. It’s great watching these videos
its not that hard I have found every 50p coin and £2 you just need to get out there and stop paying with cards lol
Nice finds. Isaac one of my fav's too.
Olympic Shooting is a great find and definitely a keeper
I agree. ... Newton undervalued and under appreciated.
Some great finds in that hunt. Sorry that the coin stall is on hold at the moment.
Lafta ,
Wonderful find , Sir Isaac Newton. Its one of my favourite design. I have one but not in such a good condition as the new one you found.
Gotta love a Newton. I agree very underrated coin.
Even with a £250 bag of coins, it is becoming more difficult to find the "rarer" coins with low mintage. For me, the best of this batch were the Olympic shooting and that Isaac Newton coin !! You're right, not many of these knocking about these days:
Very true. They are all becoming more scarce. Thanks for watching!
Hello I've got lots of coins..🤔
Good coins 👍👍👍👍
*As an amateur astronomer myself, the Isaac Newton 50p is the most gorgeous designed UK coin.*
I’m sure all the designers get a brief of what needs to be included on the design of a coin so if a visual representation of the coin doesn’t shout out the message their trying to convey then the coin with only text gets chosen.
I think ‘75 Years of the National Health Service’ around the outside and ‘I❤NHS’ in the centre would of been a better option.
Nice Isaac Newton
Great stuff LAFTA 👍🏻

To be honest, the price hasn’t moved that much in the 3 years. They are definitely difficult to find though!!!
Shakespeare crown and arrow , my son just got
Nice one!
As someone who loves typography, I prefer the ones that are ‘just writing’.
Awesome! That’s the beauty of individuality and the ability to collect whatever you want! Thanks for watching 😎
Had a Kew one last year didn't know anyone would be that interested in it
Least you know now if you find another one!

Always a buzz when you find a Newton, but I haven't found one, or a Tittlemouse for that matter, since September.

Thank you Christine ☺️
@@LAFTA You're more than welcome
One day, you're gonna find a kew in one of your hunts, and it will be so so so good. Love the videos lafta 👍
My favourite is flying scotsman 👍
My Daughter has a Kew Garden one...she started collecting them about 6 years ago going through my purse for change
Great hunt indeed, stay safe buddy
Great hunt as usual enjoyed it mate.
Any plans for some more pre decimal of foreign coin vids.
Nice one buddy
Great hunt Lafta, I found the Isaac Newton yesterday and Tittlemouse today strangely.
Great Hunt with 3x lovely Plums. Happy New Year Lafta and good hunting in 2023 👍
I've also got a Henry 3rd medieval coin.
Great work Sir Lafta 👏

I’ve had two Kew Gardens used them!
Oh no!!!
Oh dear , thats a £300 loss.
Awesome hunt mate superb finds. Q, do you the strike your own coins hold their value. Happy days 👍 🥋
Wish the would make a Tolking series set that would be awesome
I notice you touch the faces of nice condition polished coins, dose this not lower the values ?
Any coins that are "polished" will be destroyed anyway. These are circulating coins that have passed through many hands, another set of hands isn't going to make much difference!
I’ve really enjoyed your video 👍😊 I got a Kew Gardens one maybe more, could you tell me we’re is best to sale coins for plz ? Thanks.
Thanks Shazza, eBay or facebook groups are your best bet!
Awesome Stuff LAFTA 👏🏻🙂
The Issac Newton is still definitely my favourite 50p and I've several in my collection because of that 🙂
But you are getting some cracking finds of late 👌🏻
Keep up the fantastic work mate,
And a very Happy 2023 to you and your family,
All the Best,

I have a Kew Gardens...I've had hold of it for years....not sure why haha
Nice Hunt
How do you get the sealed bags? my bank just gives me randoms opened bags from the till :(
Pot luck really Richard, but I do have a business account and I pre order what I want.
I have the shilling of both George vi and Elizabeth 2 with the year 1952
Awesome
I have two 2009 Kew gRdens1 of them is brill uncirculated I also have a 2019 Kew gardens.
Awesome stuff Gordon. If you found another would you keep it?
Are you going to restart the Kew fund or leave it till later?
How did you manage to get £250 in 50p's from your local bank (my bank said no you cant have even £50 in 50p's its not possible)!
You can order them through the post office if the post master is a kind one.
I think they should do a 50p set with English classic cars an them.
That would be an amazing series!!
Ive found 1 2020 shield so far ...
Nice shooting 🔫 👍

Probably the dDay 1994
Jasmine asks when you say the 50p is worth £1 or £2 ect. We're do I sell them ???
Gutted. I had a Kew Gardens coin, thought it was common, and spent it 😢
Oh no!!!
Same then like a month later I started collecting and was like god dammit
Do you have any website for selling rare coins?
I don’t Jacky, eBay of Facebook groups are the two main places for buying/selling
good hunt i think coins are getting harder to find i don't think the new coins should get released in the post office i think to too many are keep them and putting them on ebay what do you think
I just found an Isle of Man Christmas 50p coin 1982 - with Queen Elizibeth on front & a christmas tree on the back - Whats it worth
Around £12-£20 depending on condition, great find!
Hi I have 999.5pt platinum £10 coin 9,999 minted? Do u have any idea what it’s worth and where I could sell? It was to cremated the platinum jubilee also bunk kew garden or 2019 50p coin pack or the 2021 1p - £5 coin set worth.

Bank or Post Office. Your luck may vary though. I had to get a business account in the end.
@@LAFTA think I’ll just stick to looking in the tills at work then 😅😅
I got a 2017 shield is that a good collectable
How much is the double helix 2 pound coin?
Just £2 that one
Epic
Thanks Patrick!
Hi can you add text on how much thee coins are approx worth as of the day you do video shoot. For example, Diversity 50p sell approx for £3-4
Diversity is worth 50p. If they’re more than face value then the value will pop up.

How much is the Kew garden?
About £150-180
How much would you pay for Kew Gardens
Hopefully around £150 Andy, they are on the climb recently but if I can get an eBay auction at the right time I might get lucky.
@@LAFTA I have a 2009 Kew garden 50p coin.
Some great coins
What about the IN coin made when you visited the RM? I made one (pressed a button on a machine). What sort of mintage are those?
I got 2017 with pic of rabbit on it worth much?
Just 50p I’m afraid Mark
Are Kew gardens coins in general distribution really worth anything, Where I live they are very common well one in five
I think you must be confused, there are only 210,000 Kew Gardens 50p from 2009, I have only ever found two in the tens of thousands of coins I have looked through.
Not confusused just ;where i live I get these most days
I did not know they were worth anything more, I have two in by change just now
No chance hahaha

Have a Paddington bear coin how much is that worth?
My most recent video has prices for every coin. Depends which Paddington it is.
The low value of the I.N. fifty pence could be the same reason for the low value of the Olympic coins, some one is keeping the price low for some reason, who and why? thats the question
I have a £2 coin dated1607 to 2007 but both 7 are the wrong way round . What is going on?

What is the rarest 50p coin . Liz
i sold 2 of my kew gardens that i found got £140 each
Not bad at all!!
I've got a queen Victoria old penny 1889.
Is there a 20008
2008 Britannia is low ish mintage, 2008 shield is common as muck.
I also have a Canadian dime , the date is is 1950 . Is it worth more than 10 cents? It’s silver .
Best bet is to search for the coins on eBay and check the sold listings filter.
I have one 🎉❤🎉
how should i arrange my coins do not forget that i am blind from nanny sue

My wife found a pride 50p how much is it worth please
Not a lot at the moment. They sell for a little above FV but until we know how many exist, they won’t settle at their long term value.
You keep going a bit too fast turning those coins over and some we don’t even see as you take it out along another one. Please slow down just a bit please. 😊
