Nordle11 Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 If anyone finds any of the Beatrix Potter 50p designs in their change and aren't bothered about keeping hold of them, please let me know. Will take them off your hands. Thanks
jacinbox Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Haven’t come across one from circulation yet. Is it the next Kew 50p?
Rob Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 The whole world and their dog are hoarding 50p and £2 coins if the number of times I am asked on a daily basis whether I want to buy these things is anything to go by. I have put a lot of business eBay's way - not that I will get any thanks for it, from either them or buyers! I usually recommend that a buyer with no brain and a very fat wallet is best found on eBay, as I have yet to find one at a coin fair.

Rob Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 It is worthwhile if you can pick up a sizeable quantity in as struck condition as I disposed of most of the complete decimal collection I bought a couple years ago in about 6 months. However, all the things I get offered are coins people have taken from change, and usually it is one or two coins at the most (apparently worth £400 each because eBay says that what they sell for) 1
secret santa Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Got my first Peter Rabbit today so they're out and about.

Nonmortuus Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I had one in my change around 8 weeks ago so they are doing the rounds. This was in Kings Norton Birmingham.

Nordle11 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Excellent, would you consider £900? I will pay postage.. It seems that the extra whisker variety is actually more prevalent than the normally struck version, if eBay is anything to go by that is.
