The Temnodontosaurus 50p is a modern collector issue (BU) and is typically traded in its official presentation packaging. Value is mostly about condition + completeness rather than “found-in-change rarity”.

Modern BU coins love to pick up hairlines and fingerprints, so “handled but shiny” often sells lower than “as-issued clean”.
UKCoins lists a total BU figure of 71,581 for the Temnodontosaurus 50p. That puts it in the “collectible, but not ultra-scarce” bracket — expect condition and completeness to do most of the pricing work.
| Variant | Finish | Mintage / sales figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temnodontosaurus 50p | BU | 71,581 | Common enough to find easily online; premium relies on presentation quality. |
Ranges below are practical “what sells” bands for the standard BU (non-colour) coin. Realised prices move with demand and pack condition.
| What you have | Condition expectation | Typical value range | Why it lands there |
|---|---|---|---|
| BU coin only (loose) | Handled, no packaging, light marks possible | ~£5–£8 | Least “display-ready”, lower buyer confidence. |
| BU in official presentation (pack + capsule) | Complete pack, clean capsule, sharp corners | ~£8–£13 | Collectors pay for completeness and gift-grade presentation. |
| Pristine pack (near mint) | Zero fingerprints, strong eye appeal, no corner dings | ~£11–£16 | Small premium for fussy buyers and gifting. |
| Bulk / quick-sale listing | Average condition, minimal photos, unclear pack status | ~£4–£7 | Uncertainty gets priced in, even if the coin is “fine”. |
| Certified / graded examples | High grade, respected label | Case-by-case | Premium depends on grade rarity and recent comparable sales. |
No, it's a collector issue sold in BU presentation, so it’s not something you can expect to find in everyday change.
Packaging is proof of “as-issued” presentation and makes the coin display-ready. Missing it reduces confidence and demand.
No. Cleaning (even “gentle wiping”) leaves hairlines that collectors spot instantly, and it usually reduces value.
