The best deal on here this Christmas! Deserves to be 1000 degrees + !!!

Thats the Gift pack in photo so bit miss leading

for the one in the image you want to be paying £4.25 AG88. They are selling on eBay for £3-4 circulated

The gift pack is AG88 £4.25. One above as stated is just a clear wallet with the 50p

They circulated ones on ebay sell for around £3-5.

£4.25

Just ordered but realised its not the one in the picture that's £2.25 so very misleading. The photo needs to be changed PDQ! :disappointed:

already gone up £2 from 50p.

It is 4.25 for gift pack as shown on their eBay item ag88


http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251753068709&alt=web

Circulated one go for around £3-5 on eBay with nothing.

Beware these are coming from Iowa. My dispatch was 3 working days and now there is 2-5 working days for delivery just a heads up

The one shown is just in a clear wallet

You would be pushing it now for in time for a Christmas gift but worth a try of course :-)

£4.25

Sorry for multiple comments phone glitched, I'll be quite now

Thanks Op ordered one

HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT, its the Snowman afterall :smiley: Bought 7, 2 for pressies, 5 for the loft to sell on for hopefully something decent in 10 years. cheers OP.

love things like this but always end up feeling bad that i have money i can't spend :P got £12 of special 2 pound coins I keep wanting to spend!

COLD... if anyone wants to buy a 10p I have some for sale at only £1.75.
Bargain

50p for £2.25?
il do it for £2
:-)

So £1 in currency for £2.25. Wow, I'm surrounded.

I'm sure these coins are lovely but I can't bring myself to vote hot on a 'deal' where you deliberately pay quadruple what the item is worth.

Then again maybe I'll regret saying that if this coin ends up being a rare and valuable collectible a few years down the line.

Great collectable. Postage inclusive so not bad at all.

:smirk::smirk:

All those that thing it's a bit steep for 50p check out how much some of the olympic ones are selling for. Not saying it's going to be the same but could be

Some of these comments are just utter nonsense. The fact it is a coin is not relevant. It is just the same as stamp collecting or any other collecting really it just happens to be a specialy produced coin in this case. Seriously.... as if anyone buying these is going to be buying their newspaper the next day with their 50p Snowman coin.

£3.75?

Have to admit I have no experience of coin collecting, but given it is the much adored Snowman and any merchandise relating to that tends to have good value in later years I'd say its a safe bet to buy a few as you can't lose. Its not a fortune to invest, and worst case scenario you will make a small profit.

I bought early and paid £4.25 on IOM Post Office site, wanted to be 100% sure I got the giftpack. I see there is also gold plated and colour versions of these coins on ebay.

Why pay £2.25 for 50 p coin

I do. But I am unsure of it's value. Keep meaning to shove it on Ebay but can't be bothered. Will keep it for the kids probably.

See this ebay auction for a 2008 Snowman Isle of Man coin. bidding at £35 and over 5 days of auction left. Maybe I haven't bought enough of these new coins!

Just bought 2 they are gorgous.

Which is why I acknowledged that very possibility in my comment...

If you're a coin collector fair enough I see how this might be interesting to you and I'm obviously not disputing the right to collect coins. That said I was under the impression that this site is meant to be for sharing good deals and special offers as opposed to advertising interesting/ unusual/ niche products which why I won't vote it as a hot deal. Sure it could be worth a fortune in the future., it could also be worth 50p. Buying it in the hope that you will gain from it financially is, in essence, gambling. Particularly as the more people buy this the less likely that eventuality actually becomes.

Also happy to acknowledge your point, it is fair to say this is HUKD and this is technically not a deal, as there is no saving on RRP if you like today, and the future is unknown. Don't think many of us voting hot are coin collectors, just avid snowman fans. Also makes for a decent pressie. I was happy to vote it hot believing in all likelihood this will prove a great long term deal.

Thank you, ordered for my daughters stocking :smiley:

When we 1st got together, the missus gave me her old Christmas 50p. Thanks to this deal, I can get her one back :smile:



Heated

aWWWWWWWWWW <3 ya old romantic! Take her to the live show too, Birmingham this year I think?

Very cute. Bought 4. This website.....

Is the card at £12.50 the one with the colored snowman and boy? There's a few on eBay so wondering if it comes from that edition

It's not even worth 50p as it will never get spent it will just sit in someone's cupboard for years. This offer is totally against my principals.
Voted cold.

Yes, and tonight's winner for most predictable idiot is Whands64, yaaaaay! "Anything to say on your victory Mr Whands64? " - "Oh talk to the the hand,whatever..."

Nice but £2.25 nah!

fantastico

it may not be a deal for some but for collectors and people wanting to give a unique gift its ideal i bought some as i collect thanks op

50p? Didn't think these were legal tender in the UK only the IOM, therefore treat it as collectable only, I ended up with the 24ct gold plated one in a card and I am happy with my purchase. :smiley:

No, but they do buy sweets in a shop.

If you have no intention to spend it and and just like the look of it then buy some art. Far less nerdy.

Some folk are so blooming miserable!
I have just ordered the gift pack for myself, a nice addition to my full Olympic collection & a few others.....HOT

Amazing had to purchase

Brought 2 - beautiful coin - and free delivery is great!

Farce. This type of con always makes me smile at christmas. Even if your a collector you must see this as a sanctioned con. 50p is worth 50p they are literally cashing in.

Im going to draw a snowman on all 50p pieces that pass through my hands to devalue these coins. Im doing it now! Mwahaha

Will it arrive before Christmas as I think it's from the Isle of Man.

Now showing "Please note: The 50p in a wallet priced £2.25 is temporarily unavailable. - See more at: https://www.iompost.com/stamps-coins/product/the-snowman-and-the-snowdog-50p-coin-/#sthash.Sf5pMYa8.dpuf"

Looks like they have all gone now :confused:

Not a deal at all!

Showing £12.50 for me

HOW MANY ARE THEY MINTING????

funny how the royal mint £20 solid silver coin for £20 got cold votes yet £2.25 for 50p goes hot.

Ordered 3 of these yesterday but still no confirmation of order as anyone had order confirmed.

It says 12.50 for me??

Ha, well I can't disagree with that! In my defence, a sizeable chunk of the users of this site wouldn't know a good deal if they saw it, so there's that.

9day still no delivery :-(

Wonder how long mail takes to arrive from the IOM, can't say I've purchased anything from there before!

I ordered 3 and got 1 the others were out of stock the £2.25 were out of stock

Hi rreer, when did you order them? Has anyone else received theirs?

I ordered 2 and 1 arrived yesterday.

Did anyone else just get an email about non-delivery?

Yes, got email saying can't get any until Feb 2015, but they're sending me a snowman and snowdog stamp gift set for free

Me too

Oh dear, me too :disappointed: even so, its a nice gesture to get free stamps.

Canx for me too :disappointed:

I ordered on the 15th. Is anyone else getting cancelled roundabout that date?

just received this about my order



Good day.

 

We were unable to fill the 900 orders created overnight by the hot deals ad.

 

We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience.

 

You will receive:

 

A letter of apology

Compensation in the form of stamps

A full refund

ordered mine on the 15th(ordered the 50p on card and the 1st day cover stamps)and they both came yesterday,nice to hear that they are reimbursing those that didn't get them and also giving them the stamps too(which are quite lovely),not many companies go out of their way to make sure customers are left with something as well as a refund

I've not even received an email! I ordered on the 15th, money's gone out of my account.

Got 4 x lots of stamps. Nice gesture but am disappointed.

:disappointed: No sign of my second coin or any stamps

Got my Stamps this morning. Very nice. :laughing: plus a lovely card

Disappointed too, my sister collects different 50p's not sure she will like the stamps instead, oh well im sure the kids will like them

These sell on ebay for about £10 now :stuck_out_tongue:
