The Kew Gardens 50p has grown so much In value since I bought one in 2018 for £85 , which seemed a lot of money for a 50p at the time but it’s now worth double , so not as painful of a price considering how much it’s worth now

The best coins always show up when I least expect them, don't think I will beat the 2006 Baliwick of Jersey £2 coin someone paid for a bus fare with anytime soon.

I’m from the US and I’d never heard of Kew Gardens before. After a quick google search I’m in love! There’s so much I want to see and do in England I’m afraid I’ll either have to spend months there or make several trips.

Im kicking myself everytime someone mentions a kew gardens 50p. I had one years ago as a teenager and i remember distinctly looking at the design on it and thinking thats an unusual 50p and thought it was the leaning tower of piza. Back then I didnt even know people collected coins or there were rare ones etc so i went out and spent it on crisps and fizzy drinks!

I've just paid £185.00 for a kew garden, it is lightly circulated I'm very happy with it, I've been collecting for 6 years, I didn't think I would ever find one, so I bought it.

Excellent explanations, Christopher! Appreciate the education as well as the entertainment.

Very informative video - thanks. I'd quite like one of those larger EU UK pres 50ps but the only way to get one now is the secondary market - my dream - as is so many others' - is to find a Kew Gardens - also the A-Z 10ps - I've not seen one yet except here and other places online. My Post Mistress friend from who I got 5 of the Jubilee 50ps was sent to another branch to train up the new intake - whilst there she obviously had access to bags and bags of change - she found ALL the A-Z's bar P for Post Office - which a friend gifted her for a birthday pressie! I'm also quite fond of the Isaac Newton - but not sure if this has entered circulation. But once again another great watch as always.

Another good video Christopher with a coin of great interest to many new collectors and good explanations. I was collecting pennies pre decimalisation and the Kew Gardens equivalent were 1950 (240,000) and 1951 (120,000) and we all lived in hope for a 1933 (6)!! Looking forward to more videos and something on spotting fakes would be informative and helpful for collectors. I have bought several from Aliexpress (including a 1933 penny) just to see what they look like in the hand. By the way I'm intrigued to know what is the 50 coin set on the shelf behind you.

I did explain that in the video. Basically the Royal Mint were told to mint a certain amount of 50ps for the year. That projection was later reduced and they had already made enough so they stopped any further production and they were 210,000 into the run of coins. -CC
