    Hi

    Is it true that there was a rare minting error on £2 coin made to mark the abolition of the slave trade? I do have one of these and can see its not quite perfect, and was wondering how collectible they actually are?

    Regards
    John

    I’ve been putting aside unusual £2 for years – my oldest is a 1999 Rugby World Cup. How likely am I to see a 1986 £2 coin still in circulation?

    Hello,
    I’ve just watched your 50p blog for the 1st time! My interest started with the 2012 Olympic coins, and I collected them all, but didn’t realise the Completer coin wouldn’t be available when I had finished.
    Is there anyway I can get hold of one?
    regards
    Jackie Fletcher

    you highlight the kew gardens 50p coin as the rarest – what about the isaac newton 50p 2018 produced by the royal mint to visitors only?
