'Special' 10p coins

33 replies

socktastic · 10/01/2019 21:31

Found a funny looking 10p coin in my purse with an N on the tail and a stethoscope so wondered if it was part of a.set or if it was worth £10000. I found the set with a quick Google and it seems there's one for every letter of the alphabet but I must say some have me a bit stumped.

J, O, Q and Y have me scratching my head. Also, is a web really all that British?

Thoughts?

We have been looking out for these for months but haven't seen any. We bought some from The Royal Mint at Christmas, spelling out our children's names. I love them.

F is fish and chips. I love them.

These were actually released months ago, possibly around last summer. At the time the papers had a list of what they all are, so will still be kicking around somewhere

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 10/01/2019 21:50

Actually last April!

English breakfast? I've only ever heard of a full english breakfast. Or is english breakfast regional?

Starlight90 · 10/01/2019 22:01

Never seen these! Ill keep an eye out for them. I have a selection of the Potter 50ps. Working with loose change i tend to swap my coins when i see them!

IWantMyHatBack · 10/01/2019 22:06

Well, F had to be Fish and Chips? Dunno...

MunchMunch · 10/01/2019 22:15

Change checker has a list of what the 10p's are.

Christmasfairy07 · 10/01/2019 22:17

Does anyone know if the Paddington 50ps are worth more than 50p?

xsquared · 10/01/2019 22:18

Only ever found one in my change and that's v for village.

It's very hard to find commemorative coins now that more people are collecting.

xsquared · 10/01/2019 22:19

I found two Paddingtons today as they're newly released.
