WhistleHappy Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Impressed with design of the new £1 coin which were launched into circulation yesterday, like them a lot. Official launch of these new 2017 coins 28-March-2017 ... Royal mint produced coins in preparation for the 2017 launch with a 2016 date stamp on them. Are these 2016dated coins worth more than face value, as they predate the year of release?? (hope so, cos I got a number of the first new coins in unopened (£20)coin bags, from the first batch Bristol's Broadmead NatWest received and opened for me Tuesday afternoon ... and they're dated 2016) Actually they don't appear particularly rare as quite a few of them are for sale on eBay, just wondering if sellers are just chancers or if they really might be worth a little more than face value..

I was so stunned to read this - I had to have a look - and some are up around £20 in bids!!! If I list a Tenner on Ebay - will someone bid me £100 (in fact if you PM me you can have it for £50 as a fellow City Fans)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've got plenty of rare notes with unique serial numbers. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Are the new coins the same weight as the existing design? When paying coins into the bank, they weigh the bags of coin you hand over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 So Sturgeon formally requests a second vote on Scottish independence (this evening breaking news)... I'm in two minds now, don't want to see the UK break up, and I quite like the Union Flag.... but business is business and the new £1coins released this week feature the Rose, Leek, Shamrock and the Scottish Thistle... so if the Scots F'-Off pretty sharpish chances are my stash of newly released £1 coins will become more collectable as the quid will have to be redesigned minus the Thistle ... ... :laugh: ... They appear to have been a sound (as a pound) investment so far, reckon they must be worth at least a quid each at the moment. Come on you Scot's ...hurry up and **** Off!!!

I'll start off with 2 examples, Free NHS Prescriptions in Scotland, we in England have to pay. Free tuition fees to foreigners from Europe if they chose a Scottish uni, if in England, they have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes: she can stick them up her ******* ****. Sorry to talk like this on Easter Sunday, but really - that woman!! tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Just a heads up for anyone banking their takings from a business, don't mix old and new £1 coins in the same bags, the banks don't like it as they weigh differently. Apparently people are causing long queues as they have to be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
