I very much doubt it. There haven't been any new £2 coins going into circulation for a few years as it is.

I don't think so but I would be very happy if it was brought into circulation

Exactly my thought. Surely a Charles release soon in all denominations though. It’s be a nice choice if this was it

I still find it weird that you can often pick up modern PF68/PF69 moderns for under raw price, it can be a way to pick up a bargain.  

The PF70s hold a huge premium as they are bought by money managers/investors. The only thing they want in their collection are 70s. It may be impossible for the human eye to tell the difference between a 69 and a 70 but it's obvious on the price tag. The 68s/69s are worthless to the investment-grade collector. They are collecting numbers on a spreadsheet, not coins

1962, 1966 and a 2012 got them yesterday from that pawnbroker gal.

I’ve made a total a… of it, the 2012 was in blister roughly cut and I opened it to put in a lighthouse after 15 mins I regretted it what a muppet 😩

Was very suspicious of the rim on the ‘66 at first but they must have changed it after ‘62

Thank you @Midasfrogfor these lovely coins….. special reverse, my favourites 🌞

@James32 I ‘de-dithered’ myself and bought a couple of coins rather than my normal handbags and lattes 😊.

Victoria’s hair on that 1885 is in particularly nice condition that would grade well IMO.

I discover about a month ago that my 2022 kook had a small defect, OCD kick in and had to buy a new coin

This one looks good

also to split the shipping cost bought another koala

I hope they will do as good as the 2020 kooks

What a fantastic moustache, I was only looking at one of these coins (20 kroner I believe) in Atkinson's yesterday. The portraits are amazing but told myself I mustn't open up a whole new collecting rabbit hole for myself!
