United Kingdom 10 Pence 2008 KM#989. Why can I not find one? [gelöst]

Having checked my UK 10p coins on a regular basis, I am struggling to find the headlined coin to complete each date of that type.
Have searched hundreds of coins, but never found that one. I see that there is a comparatively lower mintage, but I would have thought I would have obtained one by now.
Many times have I found a 2008 coin, only to discover it has he wrong reserve. Disappointing or what

Everyday is going to get more and more difficult with the lower mintage and this:

Thanks for that. It made very interesting reading, except that they may have melted the coin I need.
Forever have a hole in my collection

Worst case there is always ebay I found this one on there.

Matt,
I had a private message giving me the same link. It states it cannot be sent to the UK. Still, a lot of money for a circulation coin.

Well, they both definitely exist - here (excuse night-time pictures) are mine ...

in my collection. Ever since they had two versions of all 2008 coins I
saved any from the beginning of that year (old design) that I found in change.
At the weekend I will see if I can find the bagful of those coins and if there are any 10p in there.

I had a quick look just now, and luckily found them in the place I thought they were ...

and lower left is the bag of old / early design 10 Pence UK coins - so I have one if you want it.

Those are the coins in that picture (face value £37.21), and the quantities I have.

Edit - next day I quickly made these also ...


Then the day after, I made this also ...

​I agree it’s quite pricey but figured I’d share it for worst case scenario but it looks like there are others that should be able to help you.

ZacUK,
Thats quite a good list you have. Will check each coin and see if I need a certain date and will PM you my requirements. Definitely need the 2008 coin as you already realise.

Was very kindly sent this coin by a UK member. That part of my collection is complete.
