It may pay to get in quick before the coin is withdrew from active service. It may be a court marshal for the mint or at the least a good dressing down.

Im sticking with raptor or maybe f-35 error.

Yes it is getting a bit much,you only need two rabbits to make a good stew.

Is me or is this years printing press process or circulation process all on its head? Most years you see the small change entering circulation about May and then progressing to the pound coins and so on. There are exceptions i know like with 2011 coins when we saw oyimpic 50p's entering cuirculation in 2010 and this year differs with the advent of the new pound. But where is the small change? Is there going to be any? The figures are out before the coins,does anyone find this odd? What's the betting that this year the 2017 part shield 50p coin will be the shocker, it has been batched but so far it is clearly scarce at this point unless the printing presses go into acton and start producing,. 50,000,000 50p's have already been stamped thats a fair quota for any year and surly they have to knock some two pound coins out. Where are the jane austins, britannia's and the aviation coin? Is it me or are they late?

just out of interest, a present search on ebay for the 2017 shield 50p brings up three pages of coins the same search for the isaac newton coin with a mintage of 1,800,000 shows thirty three pages of available coins INC.mint bags.

The bleep coin effect, there are way to many ones twos and fives i think most people would agree but not two pound coins, they are light on the ground eveyone keeps saving them or selling them on ebay.

I think im getting my rabbits mixed up. I see its the 2016 one thats going bananas, can't understand it for a coin of 150,000 mintage. Perhaps most have gone abroad and now its british collectors going the way of the hatter.

Yes but how do you account for the one's you can buy now for as little as £83? The only reason i can see such a coin demanding such a price is if the bids are on coins open the world market,where the others are not.

There were 150,000 of each design minted. I put the demand and so the price down to world wide demand for the beatrix potter thyme in general, the piedfort coin in the range is the most scarce with 2500 strikes.

Who dose the royal mint now serve? Is it the realm or has it now a dule role in turning out coins for collectors whist oiling the hands of the discerning middle men? The west minster collection/connection?

If the mint makes a profit the proceeds return to the treasury on whole , if the west Minsters collection makes a profit only dose the tax pad.

Dose this argument go anywhere iif you have £23 stolen or have a pound for what its worth, thats a pound, its a matter of conjecture vs greed id say, its nice to be able to put over ones ponit of view.

Profits don't come from no where, do they? The point of the post is to point that out. That is to who is makeing the profit of the back of who?

Where can i by a a 2016 royal sheild of arms pound coin from? Not available from the royal mint,i know ill try try rhe Westminster mint,why? Is it for profit or is it blate tet corruption? O, Obviously the figure £1and £26 is hypothetical unless one as access to the difference that presides between, i make it £24 quid but who knows for sure.

Im sorry but im clearly living in a world where by a pound can be sold for £26 and then sold third party through a private company thats makes clear profit from the people who both produce the coihttp://www.westminstercollection.com/information/about-us.aspxn and had to pay profit to vendor. Is that not correct?

Rob,third party intervention is most relevant regarding my initial qwestion as to why thrid partys are allowed to take private profit form public funds.

Why dose joe public have to pay £26 for a 2016 royal sheild of arms £1 coin now only available from the Westminster mint when none and i repeat none were made avalible to the public via circulation? Thats a pound coin,face value £1 now worth £26 if you have the right connections. Answers not conjecture please!

Eloquent, but the profits of private entitys go into private hands only the tax revenues if there are any go home to the public domain,thats where the profits where generated and belong.

Is spink in the public domain? The royal mint is publicly owned with a sole purpose to serve the public and should not to produce coins that oil the hands of private companies. What gives the royal mint the right to give private entitys access to coins denied to the public? What right has the royal mint a public servant to hand private companys the chance to coin in making a profit from coins sold to the public produced by a public entity?

Yes rob the mint dose sell the same coins and they produce them. Explan to me how a second party,A private entity can sell coins cheaper as they do than the main dealer, thats a dealer who is publicly owed and so who is ultimately is accountable to A british public that it blatantly bypasses. Explanation please.

The problem as i see it is that the royal mint is a public funded entity that is charged with producing coins for britain in the main. Why is it selling coins to private retailers allowing them to make profit when they could be retailing the coins themselves? Why dose the Westminster mint have access to coins joe public dosn't? After all joe public funds the royal mint.

Well if you're asking if? The answers is its a private company operated for profithttp://www.westminstercollection.com/information/about-us.aspx
