Bury resident sells two rare Atlantic Salmon 50p coins for a huge markup

Minted in November 2023, the Atlantic Salmon 50p is now the rarest in circulation - with only 200,000 created.

A Bury resident has sold two "sought after" rare 50p coins for a huge markup.

Minted in November 2023, the Atlantic Salmon 50p is now the rarest in circulation - with only 200,000 created.

Depicting the fish on the back of a portrait of King Charles, the coin knocked the highly collectable 2009 Kew Gardens 50p of the top spot for the first time.

Now a Bury resident has sold not one - but two - of the "rare find for collectors" on eBay.

Both listings asked for £125.51 for the coin - over 250 times the original value - and making the seller a total of £251.02.

Delivery was listed as costing £7.75 and being delivered in three days.
