good value,

[craigy 362]

been getting these since 2013, https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/annual-sets/The-2018-United-Kingdom-Brilliant-Uncirculated-Annual-Coin-Set/   bout the best value thing they sell at the mint, 

[Unwilling Numismatist 505]

the 2017 was a good one, the 2018 looks even better, so looking forward to getting that soon.

While I was there I picked up a strike your own 50p or 4

Sold one on ebay for 50 quid which pretty much covered the outing, might go again while its a worthwhile trip!

I would prefer to saw a bollock with a rusty saw.Each to their own though.

Why did someone pay so much ?.

I assume its different in some way but what please ?.

It wont be worthwhile going again , now you have put it on here you got £50 there will be loads on next week 

[PWA 1967 2,142]

I should of looked on ebay first before posting 

There is already loads of them on 

[copper123 1,512]

Surely someone on ebay could not have been so stupid as to buy a coin that someone else struck (alledgedly?)  for £50

The great brittish public surprise me every time with their moronity.

The Strike your Own coin *at the moment* is a 2018 Isaac newton 50p - These will never be released for circulation, so the only 2 ways of getting one are go and strike one, or visit Ebay where people are paying bizarre money.

No idea what they'll get to in future, but I have a couple set aside in case it gets silly

 

*note  - Strike your own is one per preson and costs £5 (or 2 for 7.50 so go with a friend )

If it gets silly........is £50 not enough

Take a look at Kew and the olympic swimmer with lines. 50 quid is chump change

[PWA 1967 2,142]

Olympic swimmer with lines is a bit different there is only 600 of them.

How many are they giving out of these everyday ,i dont have a clue as never been ?

 

[Unwilling Numismatist 505]

Not sure, I'd guess about 1k a week.. and running since New Years day.

Well as each day goes on there is more of them and all will be put away.....or sold (to be put away ) .

If they were mine i would have put two on ebay already why you got £50 for the other one.

No i wouldnt......i would of put all three on

I made the mistake of thinking my daughters wouldn't want theirs, given their disapproval of my other numismatic interests ..... silly me, the current generation seem to believe that new + shiny = better than old stuff.

I bet they would sooner have £20 than one 

[Unwilling Numismatist 505]

Food for thought... but I think the answer will be "I can get 50 quid for it on ebay!"

I didn't raise 'em silly

Yes they have probably already sold them 

[copper123 1,512]

the answer clearly is for anyone to get 2 coins for £10 and put one on ebay and get £50 off sum numptie with more money than sense thus getting his money back and more

Remember when the mint work out theres money to be made here ,they will end up putting their own packed isaac newton coins on for £15 and kill the secondary market on these coins on ebay stone dead

They don't actually sell 2018 Newtons, thats what makes them so unique - few minted, not for circulation and not sold elsewhere at all (excepting ebay).

 

[PWA 1967 2,142]

What this does show looking earlier is how many decimal collectors there is.

Looking at compleated listings of the one mentioned they are selling hundreds

Indeed, and by virtue of that, there is hope that some of them will go on to realise the beauty of older coinage.
