Olympic 50ps

I've got 3 Bobby Moore's and 2 Bobby Charlton's. I'd really like a Roger Hunt if anyone's got one?

I heard Nobby has got Big Ears.

Maybe you could work something out there too?

I am confused though, these don't strike me as Olympic 50p's, and it's way too early for you to be that hammered..... :)

About 99% of those miinted are being safely stored by people who believe they are rare, thus making the appearance of them rather less likely in general.

 

I'm not convinced it's because people think they are rare, more that they can be sold for above face value. I guess you can't blame them.

Many are tied up on ebay with people trying to get more than face value. Only a few are worth it when they show up as aunc/unc.

my one and only time I "won the luck lottery".

on the Royal Mint website+facebook page they were doing a stock clearance of 27/29 of the full set of these(packaged) and sold them at face value.

my only mistake was they limited 3 of each type to each household and i only purchased 2 for some reason. 

so suppose i 66 1/3% won the luck lottery? 

For those that don't know the 2 that were missing from this offer(Simply weren't offered for sale) were the basketball and triathlon, i would like to attribute their inflated prices to this deal.

 

Last time i see that with RM as nowdays they milk every penny they can get from tat

Now triathlon - harder to get than the "rare" ones.

Basketball, I haven't seen that one packaged very often at all and am still (without paying daft cash) looking for one.

i always wonder what happened to those 2 as to why they were sold out before this offer came out, why were they so popular
