craigy Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 been getting these since 2013, https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/annual-sets/The-2018-United-Kingdom-Brilliant-Uncirculated-Annual-Coin-Set/ bout the best value thing they sell at the mint, Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 the 2017 was a good one, the 2018 looks even better, so looking forward to getting that soon. While I was there I picked up a strike your own 50p or 4 Sold one on ebay for 50 quid which pretty much covered the outing, might go again while its a worthwhile trip! Quote

I assume its different in some way but what please ?. It wont be worthwhile going again , now you have put it on here you got £50 there will be loads on next week Quote
PWA 1967 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I should of looked on ebay first before posting There is already loads of them on Quote
copper123 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Surely someone on ebay could not have been so stupid as to buy a coin that someone else struck (alledgedly?) for £50 The great brittish public surprise me every time with their moronity. Quote

The Strike your Own coin *at the moment* is a 2018 Isaac newton 50p - These will never be released for circulation, so the only 2 ways of getting one are go and strike one, or visit Ebay where people are paying bizarre money. No idea what they'll get to in future, but I have a couple set aside in case it gets silly *note - Strike your own is one per preson and costs £5 (or 2 for 7.50 so go with a friend ) Edited January 27, 2018 by Unwilling Numismatist Quote

Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Take a look at Kew and the olympic swimmer with lines. 50 quid is chump change Quote
PWA 1967 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Olympic swimmer with lines is a bit different there is only 600 of them. How many are they giving out of these everyday ,i dont have a clue as never been ? Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Not sure, I'd guess about 1k a week.. and running since New Years day. Quote

Well as each day goes on there is more of them and all will be put away.....or sold (to be put away ) . If they were mine i would have put two on ebay already why you got £50 for the other one. No i wouldnt......i would of put all three on Edited January 27, 2018 by PWA 1967 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I made the mistake of thinking my daughters wouldn't want theirs, given their disapproval of my other numismatic interests ..... silly me, the current generation seem to believe that new + shiny = better than old stuff. 1 Quote

Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Food for thought... but I think the answer will be "I can get 50 quid for it on ebay!" I didn't raise 'em silly Edited January 27, 2018 by Unwilling Numismatist Quote

copper123 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 the answer clearly is for anyone to get 2 coins for £10 and put one on ebay and get £50 off sum numptie with more money than sense thus getting his money back and more Quote

Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 They don't actually sell 2018 Newtons, thats what makes them so unique - few minted, not for circulation and not sold elsewhere at all (excepting ebay). Quote
PWA 1967 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) What this does show looking earlier is how many decimal collectors there is. Looking at compleated listings of the one mentioned they are selling hundreds Edited January 27, 2018 by PWA 1967 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Indeed, and by virtue of that, there is hope that some of them will go on to realise the beauty of older coinage. 1 Quote
