Hello
I think it depends on a few things like:
1.How many were minted
2.Is it silver proof which can bump up the price
3. The piedfort ones can be expensive, but not £1000 expensive. I'm not sure though if they had piedfort versions.
You also have to remember that people will put their hands into their pockets and see an odd 50p and just assume their worth thousands, and they will hope some poor old soul will be gullible enough to fall for it. The only 50p I know that's worth a decent amount of money is the Kew gardens one which many are hunting for in circulation. You also have error coins, and the mint will sometimes admit or validate an error coin. But I'll be honest, the mintage and rarity is the biggest factor to me personally. They tend to make many millions of these for circulation. Do you know what Beatrix Potter design it actually is? You got a link?
cheers
