Yeah, something like 2.95, but then they sold them much cheaper if you bought them all together, I think the mint were selling them at like 1.50 a piece as a group of 29 coins at one point a few years after the coins came out.

Ah I see ok thanks! So £2-3 isn't bad to buy them for and keep hold?

I dontknow how valuable the set would be. Quite, I'm guessing, but not massivley. I dont know if you'd see a return on the investment. Besides, half the fun is finding them.

I saw the 50p's just after they were sold out, and if I remember correctly they were on offer for £1.50 and had all been snapped up. They may still be archived somewhere at that price. They just wanted to offload them. I found the George and the dragon coin £1 less on ebay from a seller called The Royal Mint hahaha, funny stuff-I didn't buy it in the end. |

They no longer sell Olympics 50p coins at The Royal Mint website, its something to do with the rights to sell Olympics branded goods - many months ago they reduced the price to 50p for each pack with a 50p coin + p&p to clear out the remaining stock before the license ran out ...... Your best bet is ebay if you want them.  |

If you already have some from circulation then paying 3 pounds for one is a bit steep  , 3 pounds is OK for hard to find ones like the Triathlon or the Judo 50p ... |

That's sounds about right DaytR, I remember seeing a low price compared to what was being asked for on ebay. That would explain why they were all sold out so fast, I wonder if you bought over £40.00 worth you would get free delivery-exchange money for the same amount only nicer presented and a bit different. |
