PhilB Posted 2 January , 2016 Share Posted 2 January , 2016 May be a bit modern for some tastes:- http://www.royalmint.com/shop/The_Army_2016_UK_2_pound_Brilliant_Uncirculated_Coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilH Posted 2 January , 2016 Share Posted 2 January , 2016 Why would anyone pay £10 for a £2 coin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 2 January , 2016 Share Posted 2 January , 2016 People quite often pay more than £10 for a £2 coin it depends on the silver content, for example the Silver Britannia £2 face value, 32 grammes of silver at .999 purity. However I note that Royal Mail do not specify its weight and purity. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem49 Posted 3 January , 2016 Share Posted 3 January , 2016 The 2014 Kitchener £2 coin is much better. I managed to get a couple before they went into circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyH Posted 3 January , 2016 Share Posted 3 January , 2016 Wonder if, like the earlier 1914 Anniversary coin, which was initially sold on a similar basis, will this coin enter general circulation at some point? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWF1967 Posted 3 January , 2016 Share Posted 3 January , 2016 No silver in it cupro nickel same as a normal coin John An ugly use for old tin cans if plated like 5&10p coins. Coin of the Realm used to lie in the soil for hundreds, if not thousands of years. A modern 1-10p coin will loose its face within a year. As do the numerous fake £1 coins. Pre 90's 1&2p coins are worth at least double face value as scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
