Decimal Values

[richtips86]

Could somebody let me know the most recently suggested values for BU Edinburgh 2011 £1 as well as the Commonwealth Games 2002 £2 set in BU?

Thanks in advance

[copper123]

A Commonwealth games set just look on completed listings on ebay my guess would be £75- £90

not sure about the edin £1 but you could look on ebay again

[richtips86]

Good thinking - thanks

I think the Edinburgh £1 is quite rare. Should be one to look out for! I think £20+ in UNC in a few years time.

[CartwheelTwopence]

That is of course, as the Kew Gardens had a 210,000 mintage and goes for £30 or so in UNC. Am I right in thinking the Edinburgh £1 was 100,000?

No, I wish. It would be a bit more exciting then but the real mintage is 935,000 + bu sets and proofs

But still even with that higher mintage it sells for 12£ + on eBay probably because it's the "Rarest" one pound coin but I still don't see the fun in buying it online as the main beauty of decimal coin collecting is the challenge of hunting them down in your change. ?

Yeah but this was after the initial hysteria that kicked off in February 2014 for the kew. The prices did drop and then gradually grow again! I still remember buying my new for £4.63 incl. of eBay fees!

Lucky sod lol. They still going for ridiculous money even the proofs which are not even in the same category as scarceness . They are just 50 p proofs no different or any rarer than any other 50p in fact there are more proofs and piedfort proof 50 pence coins that are much rarer than kew. I dare say if I was to fork out for a set @ £108 I could still earn a few quid on it

There are a few varieties, but nothing of any notable value because few people collect them.

Check: "portcullis varieties on the decimal penny"in the decimal area

If you want to know more buy David grooms publication: "The Identification of British 20th Century bronze Coin Varieties"

So, how much would you be willing to pay for it if bought from a dealer? Or perhaps the question ought to be how many dealers are likely to stock things like this, and correctly identified?

If you ask a customer what they are looking for, they will inevitably say just browsing, so it is always going to be difficult to know how popular a niche is. I say with a large measure of confidence that individual areas are inhabited by a very small number of specialists, with the type collector far surpassing any specialist group. Just maybe, the tidal wave of 50p, £1 and £2 collectors are closing in on the type collector, but suspect that is transient and driven mainly by the tabloids.

1992 both 1p and 2p were struck in two metals giving magnetic and non magnetic versions as the non magnetic were still struck in bronze . exclusively in the sets only as no business strikes were issued for that year in bronze and the mintage of only 78,421 . If you find any and surprisingly they do turn up they do command a good premium higher than what the book suggests. I predict fake news will catch wind of this very low mintage and we will have Kewmania all over again. So if you own any hold on to them

It is also a little know fact that the 1999 £2 coin standard issue non commemorative  is in UNC and BU virtually impossible to locate. No  BU sets were made and no proofs with this year were struck with the standard £2. Prices are in the Kew range . I do own 1 but Slightly short of unc but not a million miles off EF and even in this condition very hard to find. i'll post a pic when I find the darn thing . it is in that safe place again

Id 20p because otherwise i might aswell buy it in a proof set with some other BU coins. but i am a perfectionist and i like to have every variety and i especcially like it when you have to hunt down a less common coin without the media hype and the real mintage is much closer to what it is actually worth.

Mauling about with Rubiks cubes 

[zookeeperz]

So this is the rare 1976 Penny?  How rare is it?  Obv 2 rev C  or 1+C on the older identification.

 

[Guest Ireneusz76]

Thank You for great info

[zookeeperz]

Hold fire Spot the deliberate mistake  Do my eyes deceive me or did I pair 1971 with 1976 lol. My apologies it was meant to be this one. Also the 1 is larger on rev C

 

I am confused i will get this right lol pics to follow
