Coins of lower condition than BU have not been listed.
The complexity of commemorative issues after 2015 is such that the following lists are no longer updated. There are many other sites that give values for modern decimal coins. My apologies.

50p values extracted from Coin News August 2020. More recent values can be found in the July and August 2022 issues of the magazine.
Platinum, Gold and Silver proofs are generally issued in a presentation case with the coins in protective capsules. Cupronickel proofs are generally only available in the year sets, but of course there is nothing to stop someone removing them from the case.
Uncirculated coins from Royal Mint Year Sets are generally not only in better condition than issued coins, but are slightly better struck. It is hard to distinguish them except that there is a lack of any contact marks, and sometimes they are a bit shinier.
