The asking price has nothing to go with its worth no one will buy it at that price.

Hi,
I am wondering why Peter Rabbit silver 50p coin is getting so expensive on ebay. The same number of silver Jemima Puddleduck 50p was issued (15,000), but what is doing Petter Rabbit silver 50p so special?

Adam Kehoe on July 1, 2016 at 4:55 pm

maybe because more people have read or heard of Peter Rabbit over the other characters. Me personally, I haven’t read the other stories. Only Peter Rabbit.

probably because it is a more popular character
