Much lower mintage than the 2016 shield as well and they now fetch 50+.

look at the 20 in 2022

sorry I can't show you the other variation because of the upload limit, how do you get around this?

Could it be collectors are over looking this coin and not seeing the wood for the trees? although the coin is stamped in silver is not clear this coin is quite special in that from this year the mint has moved away from the circulated design of the part shield and gone retro making the coin just that little more special. it's just an heads up for you out there looking to invest,this also applies for the 2019 silver gift penny which is all so of the portcullis design.

My moneys on the 2017 shield 50p and the jane austin coin,what did you go for.

Ive just had a look paddy and it looks like the pennys are out https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-1P-PENNY-from-THE-ROYAL-MINT-BAG-FRESH/392097576820?hash=item5b4ad63774:g:3jwAAOSwAC1aHUfD

Ive saw none of the small change about at all and the small change normally comes out first.

The figure will come in for the 2017 shield 50p paddy,im waiting to see that one for myself. The coin is very light on the ground.

In 2009 i never found a decent pound coin and i think i put two in the box at collectable grade 27 milloin minted. In 2010 the minting figure was double that and i found bucket loads,this to me makes little sense as do the minting figures on many occasions. I think its quite probable that there is a difference in the NO. of coins circulated to that minted.

It took me four years to find one of those coins in my change post 2008 and to date i have managed to collect two thats regardless of the minting figure. Sarcerty is linked to availability is it not.

Think of the 2008 10p with the lion and the five pence with the thistle, i bet those are propper scarce by now i only had two of the 10ps in my change anyway they were right hard to come by. Impossible now id say.

All the ten pences and five pences pre 2011 are being recalled in and melted down. Just cheak your change for any given week period and see how many pre 2011 five pences and ten pences you can find,my experience tells me they are coming quite hard to come across especially the latter ones.

I have a feeling there will plenty of the alphabet coins turned out for circulation and my betting is the scarce one will be the 27th coin on the list the common shield 10p. It may start a craze of, i beleave with the mints recall of ten pences and fives pre 2011 it will make some of those coins hard to come by for date runs. Think of the 2010 shield 10p stamped and then recalled the very next year leaving little time for them to end up down the back of settees, collectors coins of the future.

Also you must take into accout over 50 million 50p coins have be stamped with the beatrix potters and the isaac newton coin for 2017. None of the new mint bags with the Jeremy fishers and tom kittens are showing any signs of 2017 shield being amongst them. With 50 million 50ps the quota may have well more than been met.

The 2017 shield 50p is looking thin on the ground, the idea is pick coins out before the rush.

Its an infrastructure project of some worth but one which apparently we can only build with Chinese investment. Therefore id say its an indicator as to the state of the nation.

There is unsubstantiated rumours circulating of a Paddington bear shitting at the station error. Keep yours eyes peeled and your nostrils clear. Good luck.

Quite a number of the jane austin bu coins are turing up with what i would discribe as ring like indentation around the circumference of the reverse, my guess is it may be some sort of exstreme ghosting. I don't think the coin will turn up in any great numbers in circulation, looking at the design allthough it being a nice coin it will quickly turn tatty in circulation.

I can't see them saving 2017 ten pence coins some how. Normally they are stamped and then batched, if they are not needed they don't get stamped. Like i say according to the royal mint 24.5 million 2017 coins have been produced as yet none have bèen circulated.

Its interesting that we are waiting for 2018 ten pence coins in 2018 when according to the mint they have stamped 24.5 million 2017 ten pences and there are none that i can see in circulation. Is the mint now skiping a year?

I don't know if it's me but ive just taken a peek at the RAF lightning £2 coin and to me it doesn't even resemble the aircraft in anyway but that of a lockheed martin F-22 raptor.
