Coins For Collectors 50p
Have any unique-looking 50p coins in your purse? Well it might be worth looking into them as you could make an absolute mint!
A very rare Battle of Hastings 50p coin has sold for an incredible £63,100 on eBay following a fierce bidding war amongst collectors on the website.
This particular 50p coin is one of 6,700,000 in circulation (which doesn't even sound that rare?!) and it ended up selling for more than 126,000 times its original value.
The Battle of Hastings 50p was created back in 2016, to mark a whopping 950 years since the famous battle occurred in 1066 between William the Conquerer and King Harold II.
The back of the coin features the drawing of King Harold with an arrow through his eye, taken from the Bayeux Tapestry.

Coins are considered far more valuable if they haven't been in circulation and are in pristine condition, but this particular one that recently sold on eBay had indeed been in circulation.
The sellers hadn't detailed the exact condition of the coin but from the images it looks like it is pretty scratched. Online casino software for sales.
It was initially listed for £1,500 on June 15th, from the seller based in Halifax, but the bidding price skyrocketed over the week it was up, reaching £63,100.
There were 41 bids on the coin, meaning that a collector somewhere was really after it, however, it isn't confirmed whether or not the sale has fully gone through.
Although this particular coin is considered very rare, it's definitely not one of the rarest out there.
The Kew Gardens coin is the rarest by a country mile, as only 210,000 of them went into circulation.
If you do find a coin that's considered to be rare in your change, it's worth noting that it's not guaranteed you'll receive the same sum for it if you decide to list.
In the past, the same coin has been sold for between £3 and £10, with one other huge sale being made in 2017 when it went for £7,000.

It released the top 10 rankings ahead of the 50th anniversary of decimalisation, which comes on 15 February – the Decimal Day changeover of 1971 inspired many people to become coin collectors over the years.
Top spot is claimed by the famous Kew Gardens 50p, which was released in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Its mintage of just 210,000 coins puts it well ahead of the competition, which is dominated by the Olympic-themed 50ps minted in 2011.

The rarest of the sports honoured in this collection are wrestling, football, judo and triathlon, all with fewer than 1.2 million coins minted.
Also making the top 10 are the Peter Rabbit and Flopsy Bunny 50ps from the Beatrix Potter collection of 2018.
In 2019 more than 500 million coins were released into circulation, including three new 50p designs celebrating Arthur Conon Doyle’s fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, and Paddington Bear at St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London.
The Royal Mint’s director of UK currency Mark Loveridge said: “Coin collecting remains as popular as ever, and we were delighted to release a number of special designs into circulation in 2019.
“The Kew Gardens (50p) remains the most coveted coin, with a mintage of just 210,000, but it’s always exciting to find a special design in your change.”

Are the rare 50p coins valuable?
The rare coins website Change Checker has a recently updated eBay tracker, which claims that some 50p coins can fetch significant sums in the secondary sale market.
This reports that the rarest 2009 Kew Gardens coin sold for an average of £156 over the auction website’s nine most recent listings, while the Olympic Football 50p fetched an average of £13.
Other 50p coins making the top 10 on Change Checker’s tracker are the 2018 Sir Isaac Newton coin and the Jemima Puddle Duck from the Beatrix Potter collection.
It should be pointed out, as the website states, the market in supposedly valuable coins “can be a bit of a minefield,” and it’s important to do your research before being taken in by viral stories of coins fetching huge sums.
Last year, for example, various reports claimed a Battle of Hastings 50p sold for £63,000 on eBay, supposedly because it was “very rare”.
Rare 50p Coins Worth Money
This coin was launched in 2016 to commemorate the famous battle’s 950th anniversary, with as many as 6.7 million entering circulation.
Speaking to The Mirror, Alexandra Fiddons from Change Checker wasn’t able to explain exactly why the coin would sell for such a purportedly high fee, but said that sometimes “random coins” do reach surprising prices.
She pointed out that other versions of it were selling for just £2 on eBay, concluding: “We often have random coins that we don’t expect to take off that much and sometimes they just skyrocket. That could be the explanation here.”
Rarest 50p
While some coins can fetch sums comfortably above their 50p value, often it is “error coins” – versions which found their way into circulation after being minted with mistakes – which are particularly valued by collectors.
