Johnny 1989 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 From what I understand the 2008 "emblems" where supposed to be limited issue only, then I re-read the Royal Mint blurb and it didn't outright say that 2008 emblems where not being circulated. I think now though as far as I can work out the 2008 "emblems" are limited issues only. I kept a big pile of near-mint 2007 coins in the hope I could sell them to some idiots so I hope that they where the last of them!! The Royal Arms are most defiantly issued for circulation in 2008. Acutally I've had a couple 2008 old style pennies but from what I understand they weren't supposed to be released. I presume there is a penny shortage & these are emergencey stock, I wonder if they'll becoem rare in future, I've only seen 3, all of which my Dad has got in change so I assume these "escaped" the mint? When I saw a 2008 penny (heads side only) I got a tiny bit excited in seeing the new design, when I saw the old design on the other side I was dissapointed but remebered that they weren't supposed to be ciruclated so I have kept hold of all of these. BTW I haven't got my double pack yet so could someone post a picture of the upside down Queen please from the 50p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Oh and you may want to check those pennies for which reverse they have, incase there was ever a mixup... New 2p sans beading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny 1989 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks Delta, interesting with the 50p, I wonder if dim shop keepers will accuse people of faking them because the Queen's head is the reverse way round They've also handled that 20p well as well, the writing is still clear even with the extra info. Also regarding the 1,2,5,10p obvereses, now you mention that I'll be keeping an eye out all the time now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I'm still waiting my double set, had a letter from the Royal Mint stating that the overwhealming demand means there's a delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I wonder if they will kill off the beading on the two pound coin now, since it NEVER minted right anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I wonder if they will kill off the beading on the two pound coin now, since it NEVER minted right anyway! I could see them redesigning that one soon anyway, don't ask me why I just have a feeling that's all, possibly Britannia as I imagine Daily Heil readers are lobbying the Royal Mint to bring it back even now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Je les trouve aussi belles que nos euros ,sinon plusGerard Je consens, certaines des conceptions d'Euro sont curieux mais, a mon avis, d'autre part il y a autant de variation! Ces pièces anglaises resteront le même pour beaucoup d'ans, lequel n'est pas bon! Clive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny 1989 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Finally got my set on Thursday (hurrah!) and very nice the new coins look too. Still a bit odd to see Elizabeth "upside down" on the 50p coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'll wait until I have the pieces in hand to decide whether or not I like them. And I have a feeling that that'd probably be several years down the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hertfordian Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just got a 2008 1p in change today but it's one of the old designs :-( Now I wonder whether anyone will find a mule with one of the old reverses but a new obverse design (i.e. without the beading). Now THAT would be an interesting find! :-)) Hertfordian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've had well over a dozen new design pennies in change, all from the same guy though! He opened a bag especially for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a two 1p's & one 2p of the new designs, I'll scan them sometime over the weekend. Have had plenty of the old style 1p coins with 2008 on them, also have had a 5p as well. I thought they weren't originally supposed to be released, oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
