    Yes lots of people actually threw these coins away (Probably after a few attempts to pass the coin off as genuine) This accounts for the grottyness of many of the coins What do you do if you get stitched up with a fake £20 these days (my guess would be to try and pass it off first but if that don't suceed rip it up in disgust They are a very common detector find.

    very true chris it remains true even about queen anne farthings

    depends on if banks order them . the goverment does not plan to just issue a small number of coins , it just happens that because of low demand not many are made - its the same in the states

    I think the dailly mail is very wrong to think there are 200000 or so of these coins in circulation , most have been pulled out of circulation long ago i think there is probably only 25 000 or so in circulation now I bet you would have to hunt through £50 000 of 50p coins to stand an even money chance of getting one

    i feel this may run and run - a bit like the undated 20p thing

    I see the press have suddenly found out that the kew gardens 50p is increadably rare and we are are informed it is worth £120 on ebay . They sure took their time over that one I feel sure that mine will soon appear on there for some numptie to have for £50 The joys of coin collecting ........

    That's a good price it would not have fetched £100 eight or so years ago

    well , yes forgeries and evasions would outnumber the genuine coins . Forgeries on their own would probably not, as you say, though they made up a very significant amount of the coinage back then

    Many contemporary forgeries of george III halfpennies have blundered dates n's reversed or letters out of alignment ect The forgeries of george ii halfpennies indeed outnumber the genuine artical normally, so it ia actually rarer to find a worn genuine george iii halfpenny

    I would expect that coin to be a contemp forgery weigh it and that will give you a better idea

    A very customer friendly option and i would love to see more companies act like this - the only thing is it might make you bid just a little too much knowing you did not have to pay straight away
