So, I think this is a rare one..
Anyone found it on circulation? ... I know they're on sets at perfect grade...
The reason I am asking this is I found three of them (one in each day) in the UK earlier this April. Weird, yes? ... All of them are slightly circulated. Found in different locations on the same city. Weird.

They are (were?) still being issued by the banks, most were minted during 2009....

I have found a few, not rare really, the shield design came out in that year too and everyone paid attention to this coin, and I think they minted more of these. Your coin is probably worth 50p!

Originally it was published that only 700k of these were made. (So I kept all I found) since then it has been revised to 3.5m. However, there were 22,747,000 of the Dent design made so while not rare, they're the scarcest 'old design' coin from 2008.

Are you kidding? Are they rare?

If you are talking about this then I would understand,

There are a lot more collectors searching for the Cu-Ni version than the platinum version that's for sure. Even though there were only a few platinum 50p issued it's still only worth it's melt value.
