Whoopee

just got another 2 x £2 coins from the sandwich van lady!

Told her I was saving them and she said that apparently there are some rare ones out there that are worth some money - yes, I said, £2. No, she says, there are some where the queen has earrings or a necklace ???. We looked at the two and one does have a necklace and the other doesn't....... There is a differnece in age of the coins, so I guess that explains it. I'm very sceptical of these things, but you never know.. Any numismatists out there who can shed light on this??!?

Quote from Royal Mint website:

"The £2 coin was eventually launched on 15 June 1998, when millions of both versions of the coin were released. Because of the two different portraits, however, many confusing stories have arisen. The most common misconception is that the £2 coin bearing the Raphael Maklouf portrait of the Queen in which she is wearing a necklace, was made in very modest numbers, Since millions of these coins were minted this is simply not the case."

Hi and welcome :hello: , to MSE and our little (or not so little now) club!!

Your £2 coin savings are fantastic, well done! I hope you will be able to save enough for a great holiday at some point! I've got a while to go until I can buy anything very meaningful like that :rotfl:

Hi

Can i join please?

I've been trying to get hold off a £2 coin all week, think everyone on here has got them all.
Finally got my first one today, and spent it again, before i remembered i was supposed to be saving it! Doh!

Will be saving it for a rainy day!
