Have acquired Squirrel Nutkin and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle today thanks to one of my dad's work colleagues. Just Mrs Tittlemouse and Flopsy Bunny to go for 50ps!

Well done, Collector28!
I got £60 in 50p's from the bank yesterday. The only commemoratives were: 1 x Girl Guides, 1 x Mr Jeremy Fisher and a 2011 Olympics weightlifting.

I'm still missing loads of £2 coins, literally every commemorative from 2017 onwards it seems, plus a few before that.
On the plus side:
I now have loads more people looking out for me.
I am getting "some more old coins" off a lady who has given me a large amount of coins and banknotes before - she said they were "very grimy, so I'll clean them a bit before giving them to him". Thankfully, my dad and sister (who were with her when she mentioned it) convinced her that I'd really rather have them grimy instead of cleaned.

Not much to show so far this month, I have managed to get my first Sherlock though and the missing William Shakespeare Comedies £2. 50-50 split between new and old issue coins.  |

Finds of note lately include a 2015 Battle Of Britain 50p, another Sherlock Holmes 50p, a 2013 Guinea £2 and my first 2017 10p (on my birthday, today).

The mintage figure for the Sherlock Holmes 50p must be huge - I've had 6 already and normally it takes me at least a year from when a new commemorative is released for me to find one.
