Blue Peter 50p Unopened.

Yes - definitely a good one there. Mint in packet like that can easily make £250 to £300 on ebay.

The run was authorised for 100,000 but it has transpired that only some 17,500 were actually made, so now the scarcest of all the 50ps.

Very nice find. Those are hard to find in that condition.
I picked one of them up in some change a few years ago but it was pretty toasty and sadly not worth much.
Still more than 50p though..

WW2 items are usually easy to sell and sometimes it's surprising what people will pay a decent amount for.
I collect sweetheart brooches from that era and if they're on ebay as 'BiN' and in good condition or unusual then "You snooze, you lose" comes into play.

Sue I wouldn't take too much notice of modern online valuations from organisations like change/checker or check your change . Most of them run with the same delusional stories of valuable coins and rare coins being worth so much and what for. There are no modern coins you could add the true rare tag too. As all the collectors have them in FDC stashed away. Opposite to old coins where we are left with coins that will never be again so to find a coin as it was struck 300 years ago that is considered a rarity. I have predicted all the expensive modern coins like the Kew 50 pence will take a massive nose dive in the years to come just as all the previous so called rare coins have of the modern era.

Thx zookepperz. I thought the same regarding rarity and at some point no one will care and prices will dive. Am going to sell the Blue Peter 50p while the goings good.

Saxon my dad wasn't stupid and it's a shame I didn't get a chance to share his hobby. He was hard work so I rarely visited.
When the Vultures stripped his house they took two huge wall mounted locked cabinets for auction but considered his huge array in Aluminium cases and wooden boxes worthless or too much effort.
Yea a Kew Garden killer and coins plated in Platinum.
I wish I had intervened but he left me a lifeline.
