The Royal Mint's rarest 50p coin selling for more than 140 times face value
The Royal Mint’s rare King Charles III Atlantic Salmon 50p coin sold for £71, more than 140 times face value, after 15 bids on eBay this week.
- Recently the King Charles III Atlantic Salmon 50p sold on eBay for £71.07 after 15 bids, fetching more than 140 times its face value.
- The Royal Mint recently named the Atlantic Salmon 50p the rarest coin currently in circulation, noting 200,000 copies were minted and displacing the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p.
- Design variety explains part of the 50p’s appeal as its 27.5mm diameter allows decorative pictures and the reverse has over 100 designs, while collectors value condition, errors, and mintage.
- A Northwich seller is offering an eight-coin collection on eBay for £15,086.68 or best offer, sold direct with a postage fee of £8.75.
- Comparing mintages illustrates why some 50p designs stay common while others are scarce, as the Royal Mint top-10 list shows six entries linked to the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games with mintages up to 1,615,500.
