It is so irresponsible of these companies to send out fake news like this. Thanks so much for sharing.

Nothing irresponsible about it. If you believe that, you must also believe, selling anything which has a mineral value which is far below it's insinuated market value. Is also irresponsible?

Found one of these in the park today. Looked it up and saw the prices, hoped but didnt expect them to be legit and your video has confirmed it so thank you very much! Also noticed all the "sold" listings buyers are all accounts with ZERO feedback. Clearly a scam and trying to trick others and inflate the price. Its so bad what people will do to get money. I messaged 5 of the current and past sellers of this coin that apparently sold for large sums and surprise surprise no one replied! Thanks again for the video and great work getting this information out there to people! If something seems too good to be true.......

i spotted the "brexit" 50p in my change a few weeks ago and just thought i would try to find out if it was worth something...and i found one on ebay for £2k and another for £1.3k... i was astounded and then after a few days ...i had another.......about a week later...yep, another...obviously not that rare then.... but i hung on to it with other commemorative 50p's so glad i found your site (and your other one ) saved me a possible red face.. however i used to collect coins when i was a kid ( i always remember having a 1912 penny with a small H next to the date, i kept it for years...) so i decided to get myself some collecting books to store what i have, admittedly not a kings ransom. but some nice, interesting examples...thanks for the clear advice (on both sites) i have subscribed to em both.

I have several larger 50p coins. All came from a branch of Lloyds bank in Somerset this year. I have also built up an assortment of coins from the last forty plus years from threepence, florins and sixpence coins etc to modern coins most of the old coins I got from our cellar that had a grate in the pavement over the years people dropped all manner of thing down it and when I excavated the floor for renovation the amount of coins found was staggering. I also found a lot of coins in an abandoned wool mill just down the road that I played in and explored as a child. Absolutely no idea if they are worth anything.

Some of these coins will carry double letters on the base of the neck, these will be the rarer ones, but still not that sort of value. There is a C-Series £1 Banknote that as the value of £300,000, but there is a reason why it such a high value, it's because it is the only known one that as the Red Ink paper run out mark, and will never be repeated, it should never have got into circulation, machine and eye checking never pick up on it and pulled it out to be burned, there is also a penny that is priceless because only 6 were ever minted and all 6 can be accounted for
