Hello,

I am looking for some missing 50 pence olympics games 2012 from UK. This is the list of the missing coins:

-Shooting
-Judo
-Taekwondo
-Wheelchair rugby
-Wrestling
-Handball
-Football

7 coins from the 29 to finish this collection. If somebody have this coins and would like to swap with me,  just propose me a swap.

I would like to thank's my friends Bam and Charliebest who found me the 22 first coins that i have now.

Best regards,
Filipe.

 I only have Handball spare. I already have all 29 and am now starting a second set, and this is the only one off your list that I have a duplicate of. Maybe just one coin is not enough for a swap, unless others (non-Olympic coins) are chosen to go with it !   :)

Thank's ZacUK but just one coin i think it's not enough to make a trade. I was right now on your profile but we can't see the coins that you have to exchange  :.  , maybe there is more coins from UK that i can find even if they are not of the olympic games. I collect coins from UK by type.

Filipe,

I have Judo and Taekwondo that I found today, but the others are still being elusive I'm afraid.

I can reserve these for you if you would like to wait until I have some more coins that interest you?
I would love to help Filipe, but like others I'm trying to build a second complete set! I'm finding it "slim pickings" with Olympic coins of late. I'm now looking for the Capital Cities £1 coin series!

Hi Charles, that's great if you can reserve for me this 2 coins (taekwondo and judo) until you have more for a next swap  :)  ...thank you my friend...

  UPDATE: There are fewer and fewer in circulation ...

  and good news - the Royal Mint are (starting next week) issuing a FREE (plus postage £2.95) Album ...

  Finally, the 30th coin is the (round not 7-sided) Completer Medallion - available for £2.99 now ...

 Only one Album per order; otherwise I would have requested a few, and used them as part of swaps. Unless the £2.95 that I pay for postage would be part of a swap. Anyway, I have just now ordered the Album, a Completer Medallion, and the Royal Jubilee £5 coin (cost £12.99). Total £18.93 (receipt below) paid. I guess they wait until the 'In Production' Album is released then send all my purchase together >

Then separately, I wonder if the designer of the first of the four coins (in the videos in the link) below is annoyed, as his Aquatics 50 pence had to be re-done. The water lines across mostly the face had to be removed, to make it clearer, early on in production.

Which then creates a rarity. Not sure if they were among those released for circulation, or just issued in packs, but I once saw a picture of one that had the error. I saved it and made the third image below.


Since writing that, I have looked for and found an eBay completed listing that has one. In it it says there were only 600 issued, and it was only in packs, as I suspected. It had four bidders, and sold for - wait for it - three thousand pounds!

I found a link with images of the amended Aquatics coin ...

thank you :)

 Received the 'Completer Medallion' today - and nothing else; so no folder nor Jubilee £5 Crown, yet. Also their paperwork states 'With one year to go ...' referring to the Olympics - someone should update it, as there are 15 days from today! Here is the round Medallion, still in wrapper (where it will stay I think) ...

Well, I think they have started to circulate the wrestling and wheelchair rugby coins in Kent as I finally picked up one from the "wild" (Wrestling) today!
I have completed a second complete set and I am 3 coins away from completing my third. Seven coins away from my fourth and for my fifth set 13 coins away. This is not to brag, but to demonstrate actually that it has been a real challenge to collect full sets.

I will have a number of duplicates to swap when I return to the realms of swapping.

Also, I searched my WHSmith (Book shop) for Aquatics rarities...but no such luck there!
 Got the Royal £5 the other day; and today the free album arrived ...

I collect 50p - look at my doubles.
I've just traded away all 13 of my 2nd collection as I haven't come across an Olympic 50p in my change for 2 months now, really glad I got my set completed :) If I get anymore I will just check with my album to see If its better condition then add to my swap list :)
