There is a hell of a lot of misinformation out there and will prove itself in years to come when folk go to sell their coins. Most are bought on the tagline "rarest 50 pence 1992-93 eec".
Which is true for the circulation issue followed by the Kew gardens. But here is the bombshell awaiting those who bought the silver proof versions and silver piedfort versions at unbelievably high prices. they are just not rare in any shape or form nowhere near it. 1992-93 eec 50 pence silver proof issued over 27,000. One of the higher mintages of the themed 50 pences yet it still sells at over £60. compare that to battle of Britain silver proof 2015 only 3,000 issued and you can pick them up for £20. Even kew gardens silver proof 7,575 issued sells for ridiculous amounts and all this is because of wrong information and hyping the coin as if it were 1 issue. If the daily mail,sun,mirror were to print that only circulation issues were scarce the prices for the other would fall in line with the rest of the 50 pence issues .There are a lot of 50 pence coins I would rather punt at if i was that way inclined. numero uno and the rarest piedfort 50 pence by far Christopher Ironside issue 816 that is going to be the next Benjamin Britten and comparing it against the EEC with 10,993 piedforts and kew gardens 2,967 is a much rarer issue and still you can pick that up if your lucky for £70 very underrated and if the dailies get wind of it well we know what will happen
