The rare 50p coin sold for over 800 times its value
Rare coins valued by collectors can fetch huge sums of money and the Kew Gardens coin is chief among them. Worth an estimated £140, there are only 210,000 of the pieces in circulation.
The rare coin was released in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens' opening in 1759. It features the famous Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Garden on the tails side with the Queen's face as normal on the other.According to its online listing, the "Kew Gardens 50p genuine 2009 from the royal mint SEALED very rare" had a starting price of £150. But after a 12-way bidding war, this soon jumped up to £410, plus the £5.55 delivery fees.
