Old £2 coins - How much are they worth? Are they rare?

Рет қаралды 28,827

How much are the old single colour £2 coins worth? Between 1986 and 1996, 7 commemorative £2 coins were released by the Royal Mint, before the bimetallic coins we hunt through today were released. Buy what are they worth, how much are they to buy or sell and are they really rare?
The Dove of Peace, the Commonwealth Games (Scottish Thistle), the Euro 96, the Bank of England, the United Nations, the Bill of Rights and the Claim of rights. Which is the rarest, what one is worth the most. Let's find out!

No coin deserves to be in a flip. Especially ones with edge inscriptions. It's not just the look of a coin, it's the feel of it too. It was lovely to see you release the dove. 🕊😀 Great info as usual LAFTA 👍

Always a pleasure to watch your vids. So informative, and great quality. Too many others in the same field are just banging out nonstop rubbish lately to get their views up.

You're not going to believe me, but when you mentioned the Claim of right £2, I checked though my coin collection and found not one... but TWO of them! Today is my lucky day! Thanks :)

I didn't realised there were different Claim and Bill of Right. I've just scurried to my book to check and have two Bills. So will add Claim to my wish list. I do still need Bank of England too. All of them so far I have picked up in circulation.

Great video LAFTA. I love the old £2 but strangely I really don’t like the old £1. I also never noticed that the Dove doesn’t have the date on either side! Call myself a coin collector! Shocking 😂

Thanks Bungle. I think we are all guilty of overlooking the finer details of some coins!

@davidkgame Жыл бұрын

Back when I was in 6th form in around 1990, I was working in a local Tesco and someone came in and bought a can of pop and some chocolate with a commemorative £2. I tried to explain at the time that although we could legally take it, they might want to hold on to it for the future. It was, if memory serves, the 1986 Commonwealth Games one, so if it's only worth about £3 or so now, it's probably not so important!

haha, cool memory to have though! Nice one David

Hi Lafta, I have a coin question. With regards to Numista does it recognise Ceylon and Sri Lanka as 2 separate countries in Terms of coins or as one country as it's the same land mass only changed name?? 😁👍

If it's one land mass then it's one country on Numista Ian. Thanks mate.
