Local Man, Chad Aglet was laughing all the way to the bank when he pocketed a small fortune after selling his collection of rare 50 pence coins on Ebay. Aglet, 47 from Heath Terrace in Ynyshir, could not believe his luck when an anonymous Ebayer snapped up his coins for the asking price. “I didn’t think they’d sell so quickly, but someone bit my hand off, I wish I’d put them up for more, but I didn’t want to be greedy.”
“Over the past ten years, I’ve accumulated one thousand 50p coins “, Aglet told us, “each one has a collectable tails side, such as Paddington Bear or The Battle of Britain, but I never got the Brexit one.”
Mr Aglet sold his entire collection of 1000 coins on Ebay, for £499, “I couldn’t believe it, my mam always said they would be worth something one day.”, said Chad.
He also had the Olympic swimmer coin in his collection, but unfortunately it wasn’t the really rare one.
“I’m chuffed, after paying postal costs, I’ve now got almost £485 to spend on whatever I like”, exclaimed Chad.
Mary Fringe, from Blaenllechau said, “I’m going to take a hammer to the electric meter after reading this, it’s full of fifties.”
Mr Aglet, is also selling several china and plastic piggy banks on Ebay if anyone is interested.
