But the 2009 circulation Kew is not a rare coin:

210,000 went into circulation

128,364 were in BU packs, 

34,438 were in proof sets,

and this ignores the silver and gold versions.

The difficult thing is telling it apart from the "copies".

I think that people just see the word Kew and think it is rare.

The 2019 issue is far rarer than the original 2009 issue.

 

It's true and I completely agree it is not a rare coin , but demand for the circulated coin far outstrips supply which is why they go for such a premium.

Also people that have no interest in coins whatsoever also know this so the chances of finding one in your change is extremely rare.

I collect 50ps and 2 quid coins but I'm never going to pay 80 odd quid on a circulated 50p with that high mintage

[AndrewSL76]

It’s another midnight release. Is it going to just be like the proof set in terms of packaging appearance or are they going to be releasing the coins in the usual plastic covered paper folders?

Anyone know?

So, how many people on the Forum secretly communicated with the Royal Mint begging them to issue more coins in the form of a BU set??

Anyone have more information on this. I’m really hoping it’s not unlimited mintage.

 Yes I’m aware of that, I was more curious on mintages. If it’s a couple of k I can deal with but having a Kew unlimited just reeks havoc 

[Cornishfarmer]

Unlimited I think
