Today we are looking through my entire 50p coin collection, all of my circulated coins. There are over 1500 Coins, from Kew Gardens to Peter Rabbit and everything in between. Is it worth keeping lots of Mrs Tiggy Winkles? Battle of Hastings? Battle of Britain.

It’s time to reassess my whole coin collection.

What is up you lovely lot welcome back to the channel got a bit of a different video today we’re preparing to start a new book for the 50p coin hunt so before we do that I thought we’d sort out the old book get that put into the

Collection and show you through all of my UK circulating 50p coin collection there’s quite a lot to get through so let’s get into it starting off with the pages from my main collection basically and this is my circulated 50 main collection in the folder just taken the

Pages out to make it a bit easier to show you on the camera so we’ve got every design including of course how can you skip past it so quickly the Q Gardens 50p what a be found that in a vendor machine a long time ago now and

Then the next page of all Olympics there and then the next page another couple of Olympics Jima Puddle Duck all of that coiny goodness 2018 potters and then all the way up until nearly the new release I don’t have it yet we’re yet to get the coronation 50p

In there but we will get that soon enough as well as that collection we of course have the collection from the Hunts so this is the book from all of the 50p coin hunts we’ve got again every 50p in here apart from of course we

Never did find that Q guard as did we last time out so yeah every coin from the Hunts and what I’m going to do is take these out of this book put them into the collection and then this book we’re just going to reuse it for the new the new

Series the new set of coin hunts and again we’ve got all of them up until Platinum Jubilee there so we’re missing a couple but that’s okay and then we’ve got a couple of pages of territories here six different dates of Bailey Wick of jerseys we found a penguin we found

Dolphins we found a fox more Dolphins lot Ram all those territory ones not really showing you all my territory collection just what’s in the hunt book but we’re going to sort that out get that book going again then also we’ve got this little beauty which is another Olympic Collection this is

Complete and this is one that we used to fill up from our finds in the sort it out episodes So eventually we found them all so that is complete as well and then we move on to this little beauty which is my spare Olympics there’s a run through of what

We’ve got and there is one dut on the list basketball zero we don’t do not have a spare basketball but everything else we’ve got sometimes we got a few of tennis wrestling we’ got a few flipped here the more valuable ones Judo Triathlon Triathlon again and football yeah lots and lots of

Olympics um we’ll run through the list quickly Aquatics 8 archery 16 Athletics 14 badminton 10 no bable four bottia nine boxing 10 canoeing 11 cycling eight equestrian 15 fencing just the one football two gold Ball nine gymnastics four handall six hockey one Judo seven Penton three rowing one sailing five

Shooting one table tennis two Taekwondo One tennis three wheelchair rugby and two wrestling I think that’s accurate I’ve been adding them on as I’ve been putting them in and yeah that’s just my stash of spare Olympics there I haven’t kept every single Olympic I’ve ever

Found I must admit I did used to trade now and again and some of the bigger ones I have been known to sell because I don’t see them moving much in the value list and that’s relevant because well I’ll explain why in a minute because there’s also a few other coins that we

Don’t have that many of compared to how many we’ve found but that’s all the Olympic spares and now we get into the rest of the bulk of the collection now we’ve got a few sealed bags Benjamin bunny there Jeremy Fisher flopsy bunny that is a cracking sealed bag to

Have all flopsy bunnies in there best seal bag I’ve got I think Patterson at the station Sherlock Holmes Paddington accent PS diversity brexit and finally the queen Memorial coin so yeah a lot of those 2018 is sort of era was going for a stage of the

Sealed bags do still like his little bag but I’m not going out of my way to keep finding them to buying them if I find one I’ll keep it for sure all right and then we move on to the spares in general this is NHS and we’ve got 22 in

There and this is the thing we’re going to reassess now as well some of these we’re not going to be keeping them all EU Stars 35 I will be keeping all of those they’re very hard to come by suffragettes we’ve got 19 and this is where we start to come

Across the ones that we need to reassess we’ve got 2008 branas here 58 of them it’s not a coin I’ve kept for a long time some of these are going to go back to the bank I think we’re going to reduce this to 20 keep 20 of them and

Then the other 38 will go back to the bank guys I’m going to be honest need some money for Christmas it’s fast approaching and if I can slim this collection down a bit and buy a few presents with the money why not girl guiding which is one I’ve just started

Keeping the nicer conditioned ones of so we’ve only got three of those in fact let me put branas to the side so the ones I’m going to reassess I’m going to pop over there to make sure make sure I do it and we have WWF 21 of

Those Benjamin Britain 38 of those I think we’ll put that in the reassess pile do we need 38 Benjamin Britains do we need 38 Battle of Britains as well no 50 in fact so we’ll pop that over there as well one to reassess and again Battle of Hastings 96

We don’t need 96 Battle of hting so again we’ll reassess that and 2016 Peter Rabbit I think that says 81 do excuse the handwriting gets a bit tedious writing these little labels out after a while Mrs Tiggy Winkle 83 again that’s going to be a reassess Mrs Tiggy Winkle

So we’re going to get some spending money for the Christmas presents here guys for sure Potter anniversary 66 again we’re going to reassess that we do not need 66 of those and this is what I mean I’ve only got three jamaa paddle ducks in our time on the channel we’ve

Probably found around 10 and I will admit this is a coin that I’m happy to sell pretty much now and again I’ve kept a few as you can see but sometimes I find them I think yeah Chuck it on eBay why not they don’t move in value much

They’ve been1 for the last four or five years years so coins that don’t move in value much I’m happy to move them on of course I’ll keep a few so those jimers will be staying with me 54 squirrel nutkins again I think we’re going to

Have to reassess that we do not need 54 squirrel nutkins team GB a new one that I’ve started keeping again and only really trying to keep the nice conditioned ones so just got a few of those so far Tom kitten 10 of those why

Not not a keeper but if I can keep 10 in decent condition then I will Peter Rabbit 2017 20 do I need 20 Taylor Peter rabbits probably not so we’ll bring that down to 10 as well 2017 Shields I’ve got 84 here and then another 100 here so 184 2017

Shields you think that’s going over there don’t you it’s not I’m keeping these for sure a lot of people sleeping on those that is a coin for the future definitely keeping all of my 2017 Shields so Isaac Newton how many have we got of those to

Check my list I’ve not got a little label in there 12 so Isaac Newtons undervalued coin definitely will be keeping those Paddington at the palace a low tier keeper but do we need a 100 of them probably not we’re going to have to reassess that and get rid of some of

Those Patterson at the station trickier to find than the um the palace as shown by the number we’ve got 65 of these 100 of the palace again I think we can reduce that down a bit to at least maybe 40 or 50 might do us for now now we’re

On to some big hitters Peter Rabbit 2018 21 of these that is a great little stash considering they’re worth I’d say at least a five at each that’s 100 pound just there love this stuff keep it knows for sure Mrs title Mouse 22 of those again similar deal round around around

About4 maybe £5 on a good day so at least sort of 80 quid there in title mice keeping those flopsy bunny 18 of those so again getting close to100 worth of flopsy bunnies I’ll be keeping those and the final 2018 berri Potter the Taylor of

Gla 74 of those not as valuable as the other three nowhere near in fact but I’ll still be keeping them they’re not going anywhere then finally not finally we got a few bags left P act 20 of those we don’t need 20 P acts so we’ll reduce that to

10 and then we’ve got what is this Sherlock again I’ve kept 20 there I think again we’ll reduce that to 10 Patterson at the tower 20 of we’ll reduce that to 10 Paddington at the Cathedral 20 we’ll bring that down to 10 as well same deal with brexit 20 we’ll

Bring that down to 10 diversity we got 20 we’ll bring that down to 10 and then the queen Memorial looks like not the queen Memorial yeah it is why have I put coronation on there that’s a mistake on the tag Queen Memorial I’ve got 13 there so we’ll keep

Those for now pop that this side and then Pride we’ve only got 17 so far so again we’ll be keeping those and then finally the Platinum Jubilee we’ve got 18 of those so we’ll be keeping those two so there we go there’s my stash of 50p coins which is going to be vastly

Reduced now we’re going to get rid of probably a quarter or a third of this it’s going to go back to the bank so thanks for watching we’ll get this book emptied and get it freshly prepared for the next 50p coin hunts take care smash that thumbs up subscribe if you’re not

  1. I keep any 50p thats 5 million or less on mintage. I also keep some of the others above it. People be throwing their pride and jubilee 50p coins back into circulation but in 20 years they'll easily be worth £3 like an NHS or EU stars 50p is today.

  2. I'd say you ate spot on with the assessment as what to keep and what yo slim down
    Still a tough decision to throw back though!!
    Agree its always worth keeping even the more common when you find them in tip top condition

  3. Great collection. I also have too many of certain coins I need to bank. I noticed on your list of Olympic spares, triathlon wasn't written down.

  4. Wow!!! So many Olympics 🤯🤯 I still haven't found a 2018 Peter Rabbit. I think you values are low on the Floppy Bunny & 2018 🐰, I have never seen them for less than £8 on eBay

  5. If it were me I’d make beginners starter collection bundles to sell hot and fast for buy it nows on eBay instead of turning them in…….of course I’d keep one of each for that 48th state prospecting guy… 😬 (in his dreams) I think I might have to record a video of all the stuff I have for you and put it on a channel and share it with your viewers and stir up a revolution to get you a P.O. Box….😂😂😂 you can’t say we didn’t try to fill that book great effort and it made for great viewing, looking forward to the next book lafta thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼….. are you thinning your 2p out as well?

  6. A nice collection there LAFTA 😊. I had a sort out too a couple of months ago and payed in a lot of my spare more common 50ps and £2s and just kept a few nice condition ones back. It went towards some more coin purchases.

  7. A fantastic reveal of Lafta’s hoard & I completely agree with your re-assessment mate, I’d keep maybe 5 2008 Britannia’s but wholly agree on your assessment of the 17 Shield, keep the lot.

  8. ive aloud my self a certain amount of each coin and any above that has gone into a money box for Christmas ….still doing till hunts at work and have had 2 ducks over the last 2 weeks so quite chuffed

  9. Very intersting vid, mate. Im in this exact predicament…holding far too many excess coins but struggling to let them go. Gonna have to bite the bullet on it. The face value stuff wont be a problem but olympics and puddleducks etc will hurt me 😢
    Thanks for info 👍

  10. Its a really good idea to cash in some of the surplus , especially the one's that aren't worth enough the hassle to sell them all on Ebay or wherever. Can't see the Brittania or Shield going up that much due to them being just that..a shield or Brittania. A lot of collectors only really want one , some not even too bothered which year.
    Great idea for a way of saving a little cash for rainy days

  11. Love this type of video ❤️ I can’t disagree at all with the ones that you will be throwing back.

    I had to make a few tough decisions this year, especially selling my big boy album with one of each 50p in it (except the swimmer with lines) but in hindsight, I am happy with the decision… I needed the money and it has spawned 2 new big boy albums which I am enjoying filling up (slowly!)

    Thanks for the great content 👍🏻

  12. I'm going to have to start slimming down my keepers. 2008 Britannias for a start. 2017 shields I seem to find loads of, and tend to put the bad conditioned ones back into circulation, they maybe next! Love that Olympic stash 🤩. I've got a money box full of Olympics, and don't know how many, or what designs are in there. It'll be a guess of how many, for a future giveaway 🙂.

  13. if you worked in a shop and had access to the till, which 50ps will you be taking out of the till and swapping with your spare shields/britannias etc to take home with you?
