      Probably the one I accidentally spent when they first came out. I got the smaller coins and 50pence in change all together. Like I said I loved the design and kept them then accidentally spent them.😢😅

    Excellent video .I have the Underground Train ( my favourite) and WW1 Navy Centenary £2 coins and Olympic Shooting, Mrs Tittlemouse and Sir Isaac Newton 50p coins. I really covet The Great Fire of London and Mary Rose £2 coins . I remember having a Kew Gardens back in the day and just spent it !!😲 and I know someone who had a Jemima Puddle Duck and did the same not knowing about it's value until I was talking about it !!
    On an episode of The Yorkshire Aution House, not long ago, they sold a set of coins that included the Kew Gardens 50p and it wasn't noticed ( even though I was shouting at the TV! ) .It sold for a lot less than it should have and I think the buyer knew what he was doing !🙂

Also I have a Queen Victoria coin it's tiny it's my favourite coin it say Anne of the indies on it I've tried finding out more about it but unfortunate can't find any. Also just stared collecting some Harry potter coins there beautiful so far I have Harry, Bellatrix and Dobbie hopefully getting Draco next.

    This evening I bought a David Bowie BUnc £5 coin for £12. Probably the most I've paid to date. As for those in circulation, it would have to be...none. I've found plenty of commemorative £2 and 50p coins, but none above real value (yet)! I particularly liked the Magna Carta and King James designs on tonight's showcase video. I'm warming to the Kew, but I still think it's over-valued from an asthetic perspective - it's a pretty design and while I appreciate it's low mintage, there are nicer ones - especially from Isle of Man.
