Default Any 50p collectors?

I thought the Victoria Cross 50p's are hard to find but recently a mate in the pub who i am in competition with to find the most has found a 50p with one soldier carrying another soldier is this just as rare or has he won the collector battle!

I collect coins, the rarest 50p has a DALEK on it, as were never circulated.
I have three, in my collection.

I have a few 50p's, probably not very rare though- the only one i have that i havent seen two of is an Isle of Man TT with 2 bikes on.

What about the £2 coins where the queen is wearing a necklace? Are they rare?

I got two of the IOM ones with two bikes on, as well as GUERNSEY/JERSEY/GIBRALTER, and EIRE(old), and EAST CARIBBEAN STATES, ONE DOLLAR, which look quite similar, but 10 sided not 7 sided.

I didnt realise there would be so many coin collectors here

Anyway, does anyone know anything about the old style 50p's that had the ring of hands on them? My uncle collected them. When the smaller 50p came in he gave me and my sister a few. Now i cant remember how many. Arew they collectors pieces or worthless now?

Don't know if they have any value (I'd guess not) but this 50p coin was issued in 1973 to commemorate the United Kingdom’s accession to the European Economic Community. The inscription “50 PENCE” and the date of the year, surrounded by nine hands, symbolising the nine members of the Community (the small, dainty hand on the right is supposed to represent the Queen), clasping one another in a mutual gesture of trust, assistance and friendship. Designed by David Wynne.

Most of that was blatantly stolen from - http://www.creativereview.co.uk/crbl...d-all-at-once/

Some interesting info and coins I haven't seen before on this page.

I got some original £2 coins, without the shiny silver centre piece, all one colour, as outside colour of normal £2 coin.
My fave coin though is the old 1/2 penny that I recovered from the bottom of the pool on base(lakenheath), nearly drowning myself while trying to impress the (gorgeous) instructor!!
