Sylvester Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Has anyone found any 2023 ten pences in circulation yet without the privy mark? Quote
Sylvester Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 The privy mark is the small Tudor crown behind the king's head. The 2023 mint sets all have the privy mark. The ones that are due to go into circulation, about 600,000 mintage, will not have that privy mark. I want to get a few out of circulation as soon as they appear, before they become all scuffed and scratched. I've yet to see any. I have noted that the 50p, £1 and £2 coins have turned up on eBay without the marks. I even pulled a £1 coin out of change myself. Still no sightings of the 1p, 5p and 10p coins yet though. 1 Quote
Paddy Posted March 10 Posted March 10 No, not seen any 2023 ten pence yet. In fact all I have is one 50p and £1. The privy mark appears on the BU and proof coins behind the kings head to distinguish these from circulation coins. Perversely this is making the coins without privy marks much scarcer. I see @Sylvester has beaten me to the response, but I'll post this anyway! 1 Quote

I see @Sylvester has beaten me to the response, but I'll post this anyway! Well it's a paradox of sorts. I believe the coins without the privy mark have higher mintages comparative to the mint set issues. However, with the full mintage of non-privy marked issues going into circulation, it means they will be hard to find in true UNC/BU condition, hence the need to get them out of circulation as quickly as possible. 1 Quote
Paddy Posted March 10 Posted March 10 I suspect most of the circulation coins minted are still sat at the RM awaiting demand. 1 Quote
Sylvester Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 This is my feeling too, but I thought the question worth asking. It'd be nice to find them when they do come out. I don't want to be having to pay £50+ for one from eBay in the months to come. Quote
Paddy Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I picked up the first 2022 5p I've seen in change today, so maybe some of the post 2020 change is making it out at last. 1 Quote
Paddy Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Things might be moving - I got 2 2022 £1 coins and a 2021 20p in change today. I have had the 2022 5p before and a couple of the 2023 CIII £1 coins, but nothing much else post 2020. 1 Quote
Sylvester Posted July 16 Author Posted July 16 I've been finding 2021 and 2022 coins quite a bit recently. I acquired another 2023 £1 the other day. Eyes peeled, hopefully they'll make an appearance by next year. Quote
Paddy Posted September 28 Posted September 28 I picked up a 2021 £1 coin a few days ago which was the first I had seen. Yesterday I got 2 2025 £1 coins in change, so some new stuff is getting out at last. 1 Quote
