Taikonaut Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) I see the last series of Beatrix Potter coloured silver 50p proofs has been sold out at the RM website http://www.royalmint.com/shop/u/uk173rsp Also pre-ordered coins are already selling on ebay at well above what they were sold for at RM. I was lucky to pre-order a subscription just before it was sold out. The Peter Rabbit 2016 silver proof coloured 50p is going for crazy prizes Edited May 12, 2017 by Taikonaut Quote
Phaseolus Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Yeah, they have been sky-rocketing haven't they. Quote
DrP Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Do we know the mint numbers for the Potter 50ps yet? How would one find out? Quote
headsortails Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 There were 150,000 of each design minted. I put the demand and so the price down to world wide demand for the beatrix potter thyme in general, the piedfort coin in the range is the most scarce with 2500 strikes. Quote

Not a bad return on £60 investment for someone Yes but how do you account for the one's you can buy now for as little as £83? The only reason i can see such a coin demanding such a price is if the bids are on coins open the world market,where the others are not. Quote

I am not sure if there are two versions of the silver proof normal and coloured but when stocks were still plentiful they were still fetching £150 and now I guess with the RM sold out of all of them Demand has caught up and human folk being human folk will pay anything to say I have one?

Looking on the RM site it has mintage figures of 30k for each but that's just the silver proofs Edited October 26, 2017 by zookeeperz Quote

I think im getting my rabbits mixed up. I see its the 2016 one thats going bananas, can't understand it for a coin of 150,000 mintage. Perhaps most have gone abroad and now its british collectors going the way of the hatter. Quote

But at what who knows? My guess is £1500 but utter madness if you ask me Quote
