I agree, But I bet Paddington didn't crash the site like this 50p has.

Or are they doing this on purpose 🤨  to make it seem like it's selling better and increase the hype etc.

[danmc82]

Just looked at them on Coin Connection. Love the packaging 👍

If you collect 50p's like myself then yes, but I'm not at these prices.

[Crownproof]

Good night...... it's pathetic..

[Tn21]

I don't collect the 50ps but just thinking as a medium term hold for potential to grow in £

As a memento perhaps- its a huge mintage.

Agreed, 20k or less than I may probably would have gone for it. You going for any Rich?

Disclaimer- I often get it wrong!

The only 50p Silver Proofs I have had any luck in terms of flipping, are the Hawking, 1st Snowman and the Silver Proof 50 Years of the 50P sets- both the Silver Proof and the Bunc.

I'll go out on a limb here:

 I think you will likely be able to buy a Silver Proof in the aftermarket at a much lower price in a month or two.

I think the Sovereign will perform poorly short and mid term- given the high price and relatively high mintage- I think it'll sell out, at the RM- as it will likely be wholesaled (is this a word?) away to H&B et al.  I think down the line  but there will be plenty to go around for collectors, and it'll find its level lower than the issue price. (apologies to the enthusiasts).

Out of them all, I think the 50p Gold is the 'best value'- but I think the mintage is still too high to make it exclusive.  

I think the 50p design is lazy.

I would have likely have bought a SOTD if it wasn't for the price hike.  

@danmc82- no- none of them for me.  

 

Only my opinion- I do often get it wrong- I didn't initially buy a Silver Una and had to scramble about on the phone to the RM- it arrived scratched- its gone back today for exchange- now this is a beautiful coin.

So what you saying is, none of us will buy them, they'll all sell out and be flipped with 200% profit on ebay tomorrow 😁

Nah, I agree with what your saying. Thats why I'm not bothering this time. I'll wait a couple of months.

[Sovereign]

Same here i think gold 50p might be worth a while ..

I just bought 2x silver.. all what i can afford atm 😂

Ha!

In terms of all of these coins- it'll all hinge on if the man in the street embraces these coins to celebrate Brexit- who knows what might happen if even a tiny, tiny percentage of the 17.5 million who voted Brexit want to buy a coin-  it might well be 1000% Profit!😂

😲 Please dont say that 😂

I just had a notification I'd sold something on eBay... didnt think I had anything listed for months. Turns out I had a 1973 Proof 50p from the EEC that sold this morning, completely forgot about it. Maybe now is the time to list the rest!

Aye my Gran used to say that but she also said when she did "pass the bucket" she would come back as a pigeon and shite on everyone she didnt like 😂😂

[silvernewbie]

Will any more of the £10 coins be released? Does anyone have any spares?

That was my feeling when I was told that I was in a queue behind 37 people but my turn would come in under a minute!

No thanks, wasn’t that interested. Looking on ebay it seems that the £30 2-coin sets are being flogged at prices between £70-£125.

Besides, I’d already paid just under £70 for a Brexit Britannia, which I’d baulked at paying (especially as it’s the wrong year!!) but knew I’d regret not having in my Britannia line-up. It does look nice.
