molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 04/24/2011 12:41 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 04/24/2011 8:51 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff
Red Valued Member United Kingdom 252 Posts	Posted 04/30/2011 7:17 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1321 Posts	Posted 05/01/2011 4:35 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
