London 2012 Sports Collection 50p

 WHEELCHAIR RUGBY

Coin is on Royal Mint(RM) issued card,

double-wrapped in plastic and with RM hollogram.

Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), snowy white. Perfect condition.

(the original clear plastic hanging bags were very

brittle and this has been professionally replaced to

maintain the Royal Mint lustre and integrity of piece.)

When handled, the flap at the top of the hanging bag

instantly splits/tears off; even when aware of its fragility.

Think this might be old age.....

(Towards the end of the mintages, RM convenietly  claimed they ran out of bags and issued some of the cards unwrapped.)

The coin should remain BU for life, as it is double-wrapped.

No air can get to the coin, so it should not tone.....
