Charlie Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 The Beatrix Potter 50p was released this morning. Not my thing, but my wife bought a couple for our children this morning... After queuing behind 900 other people to get on to the Royal Mint website! Quote
Nutsaboutcoins Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Seems, the mint are doing something right for collectors if not numismatists! Or after a stream of errors, are people speculating on the mint making another error? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 People are certainly speculating, but more on the ability to sell for more on ebay when the coin sells out. Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Just tried and still 129 people in front of me. There's apparently going to be a coloured 50p with Peter Rabbit on the front too. And another 4 designs to commemorate the 150th anniversary.. Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well it's already started... People are so eager half of them don't even have pictures!! Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I couldn't find them on their site, I think they might've sold out already. But from what I can see I think they're a tenner- Quote
Nordle11 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Just tried to check again, 1162 people in the queue now haha Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Standard BU coin in pack is £10 and I think the silver proof coloured version is £55 (and isn't available currently). The RM will make as many as they have demand for. Quote

With the coloured rabbit effort, the RM state this: Issuing Country: United Kingdom Metal: Solid .925 Sterling Silver Weight: 8.00 Grams / Diameter: 27.30mm Quality: Silver Proof Issue Limit: 15,000 Worldwide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- are they then allowed to exceed the production of 15,000 for that self same coin?

Chris Perkins Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 There have certainly been coins in the past that were advertised with a fixed mintage limit and that limit was later raised, I assume because the particular coin was selling better than anticipated. Quote
