Two unique 50p coins featuring King Charles III are selling for impressive prices on eBay, attracting collectors’ attention in the Cotswolds.
Cotswolds: So, there are these super rare 50p coins with King Charles III on them, and they’re going for some serious cash on eBay. One is listed for £1,800, and the other for £999, or best offer. Can you believe it?
Both coins are from 2022, the year Queen Elizabeth II passed away and Charles took the throne. His big coronation happened on May 6, 2023, so these coins are pretty special.
One of the listings says the £1,800 coin is a must-have for collectors, not just because it’s rare but also due to its historical value. It’s a cool way to remember King Charles III and British history.
But here’s the kicker: the description mistakenly claims Charles reigned in the 1400s and 1500s. Oops! The £999 coin is also being marketed as a collector’s dream, highlighting its unique design and rarity.
Rebecca Morgan from The Royal Mint mentioned that while some coins sell for crazy amounts, collectors should be careful and know what they’re buying. The value really depends on what someone is willing to pay.
She also pointed out that factors like the coin’s condition, design, and how many were made can affect its worth. If you’re unsure about a coin’s value, The Royal Mint offers services to help you figure it out.
For anyone looking to learn more about their coins, they have loads of resources on their website. It’s a great way to get informed before diving into the collector’s market!
