Mecky Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just routed through my change before going to the vending machines and I found a ten bob bit with what looks to be like 2 Kick Boxers and the 2012 logo on it. Anyone else seen something like these, different designs, number in batches etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 There are 29 different Olympic 50p designs representing different sports, people are selling their pocket change on ebay, that's why you don't see many, probably be loads around after the Olympics. http://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/london-2012/50p-collection Maybe yours is Taekwondo? http://www.royalmint.com/shop/london_2012_50p_sports_collection_taekwondo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they're mint condition uncirculated coins, you can pay £2 for somebody's old 50p from their pocket change on ebay. I think some circulated Olympic 50p collections were getting over £60 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm keeping hold of them in my collection when I get them, but no way I'm going to pay silly money on ebay etc. In the autumn there will be plenty about, I don't think they were particularly limited in number the the mint. At least no more limited than any of the numerous other commemorative 50p coin designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're much less limited than most other commemorative 50p designs, looks like there will be 3 million of each sport design, 87 million in total.

Going like hotcakes if you have a buy it now listing with a few different designs listed, people paying anything from £1.50-£2.75 inc postage (£2.99 uncirculated in collector pack from royal mint)... I'd link to one but I don't want to advertise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
