Welcome back to the channel for another coin hunt!
Today it's the 7th September 2023 and we're hunting through a £250 bag of 50p coins. So what are we looking for?
Commemoratives
----------------------------------
We'd particularly like to find commemorative designs which we haven't seen in our previous hunts so we can put them in the book. The outstanding designs are:
2009 - Kew Gardens
2011 - Olympic Judo
2011 - Olympic Shooting
2011 - Olympic Taekwondo
2011 - Olympic Wrestling
We're interested in commemoratives which we've found before but are above face value, and if we find any they'll be kept in the wider collection.
Very occasionally, we might even be lucky enough to find an NIFC ("Not Intended For Circulation"). A full list of designs and circulating mintage figures can be found using the links in the bottom section.
Definitives
----------------------------------
We're interested in definitive designs which are either of low mintage or shouldn't be in our change. Britannia was the definitive design from 1997-2008 and Shield is the definitive design from 2008 onwards.
For Britannia, 2008 is a lower minted year which some people keep. Any year after 2008 would be an NIFC.
For Shield, 2009-11, 2016, 2018, and 2021 are NIFC years, while 2017 is a lower minted year. Anything from 2020 onwards is of some interest at the moment and we'll discuss that in detail in the video if we find one.
What Else?
----------------------------------
Errors, territory coins, and any oddities we spot through the hunt!
