new 10p coins

£2 each uncirculated

a few going into circulation via post offices

doesnt sound many in circulation though, sure to be gone in no time
so £52 a set off riyal mint plus £10 for collectors folder which usually
increases in value more than the coins.

I doubt it, I've a load of silver coins and some gold, only worth scrap value as a rule. Some George 2nd or 3rd- cant remember- are worth a few quid, but I would never see new issue coins as an investment. The oddest ones I have are silver and gold replicas of postage stamps commemorating Princess Anne's wedding to Mark Phillips, who on earth would see them as collectable now?

saddo some old coins are worth a lot more than scrap value

there is a decent site of what you might expect to pay to buy coins,

i wouldnt buy the silver set for £910 , but future value may depend upon
how many silver sets are sold, and to what extent this issue of 10ps take off
and what sort of follow up they do.

Were the olympic 50p's offered in this kind of set if so whats that worth now?

The Royal Mint normally have a massive mark-up.
Previous issues like this have had no investment value.
Scrap value a fraction of the cost and being sold 5 years later for less than bought for.
Did something similar with 50p pieces.I'd steer clear of.

there was a set of gold 50p minted in the 29 designs

these were not for sale but given to the designers of the coins , which
had been selected mostly via competition

these must be worth alot of money,

maybe the mint made another set for themselves ?


but dont confuse them with gold plated tat stuff that appears on ebay








the silver olympic 50p coins go for £20-40 but i dont remember what they were sold for
and did not buy any.


making friends with your local post office could be rewarding to get the 10p coins at
face value....

I've got a Queen Elizabeth Silver jubilee crown dated 1977.

I noticed they sell for less than a couple of quid on ebay.

I wonder what they cost when they were minted?

Long tern investment? I doubt it.

Remember the price you can buy at can be very different to the price you can sell at.

25 p new....face value of a crown at the time

the plastic box arround them that the banks gave away with them
is possibly worth more than the coin itself

them crowns were marketed as an investment and folk could buy a roll
of 20 for £5, in official royal mint cardboard.

far too many people bought into the idea, so theres nobody who wanted one
that couldnt buy it at face value....

"crowns" minted now have face value of £5, but you cant buy them at face
value from bank, mostly available in mint year sets , or in presentation pack for £12
and a poor investment, imo




most coins under £50 the dealer will offer half value,

better coins can sell at auction for
near to 90% of value, but you pay commish, some dealers will list your better coins  on
their site and take 10-15% of sale price if they sell.

Westminster offering a boxed set in .925 sterling silver for £1495.
Looks nice with each coin encapsulated in a clear rectangle case with the RM postmark for the first day of issue at the top.
Each coin weighs 6.50 grams. Check out the price of silver per gram.
