Extremely hard-to-find 50 pence coin from Ireland. 1999 50p's in proof-like condition are unavailable. Uncirculated in MS60-64 are somewhat common, but proof like from mint bags are not out there. Ireland issued mintsets for 1998 and 2000 but never issued a 1999 set. Tourist sets were not made with the 1999 50p or punt so these coins in the proof-like state are not available. Most collectors got uncirculated 1999 50p's from the bank and these are generally bagmarked and slightly dull. Very few people bothered to collect mint bags so the availability of proof-like 1999's are extremely low. The early decimal are available in proof-like state from tourist sets or the Franklin sets, but these were never issued in 1999. I have waited 15 years to find these while in that time I have had 50 or more 1974 50p. Full refund less postage if unsatisfied. US priority postage included, international first class mailing with US tracking only. 


With the euro strengthening against the dollar, I can accept euros at 1.25USD to the euro if payment is made bank-to-bank (IBAN), plus free postage. This does not apply to  paypal payments as my account is in US dollars, but only to direct payments to my bank in Ireland.
