Current eBay (realistic) prices Jim;

Kew Gardens 50p - approx £70
Northern Ireland Commonwealth games £2 - approx £35
Other Commonwealth games - approx £8-£14
2016 Jemmima Puddleduck 50p - approx £7

Look out for Sir Isaac Newton 50p 2017. They are very rare. The montage figures were realeased today and it is estimated (via change checker website) that they will be worth more than Kew Gardens soon.

If you want to make a killing go along to the Royal Mint this month. I will be going. The 2018 Isaac Newton 50p coin will only be made available from there and you can strike it yourself. They have a limited number and estimate the deal will only last for a month. They are going to be very rare. However, it does cost £14 to do the Royal Mint experience. Good visit though.

You may have heard that my dear Dad passed away few weeks back.

He loved collecting coins and he tried to collect every British coin from the first year they were minted up to this year.
Every years penny, two pence etc etc.
Up to the two pound ones.
Like everybody else the Kew Gardens was never found.
Would there be any coins or years of any value as rather than telling my step mum to put them in her purse I would like her to get a few bob for them if they were worth more.

Cheers
Harps

* Peter Rabbit

Will keep an eye out for you

Good man Exile. If you don't mind, keep hold of the Mrs Tiggywinkle, Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit. I may make you an offer for them sometime. I make up sets of them. 9 in a set at the moment. Told you this was boring!!!!!

Will do. I find it interesting in fairness.
Every time I go to the US i always try to collect the full set of states on the quarters , fail miserably and then give them to the kids to buy sweets. Haha.

Hi Exile. Anorak time - well it is Sunday morning. Just been doing some routine checking of my coins and found some you may be interested in. I don't normally collect US coins but in my travels I have picked up some quarters that you may wish to add to your own to get the full set. I have the following quarters;
Pennsylvania - virtue, Liberty independence
Alaska - the great land
New York - gateway to freedom
North Dakota - no inscription
South Carolina - the Palmetto state

Let me know if you ever need them.
