undated 20p coin

[djwepg]

My friend has just found one of the undated 20p coins in her purse (have checked news item and it is undated) .
What can she do to sell it at a good price

[shaking]

Bank of England are offering �50

[karma22]

oh cool - I heard they were worth �50 but there has been one go on ebay for a couple of grand or something. It has to be one of the new design I was told. Is your friends the new design?

[squarebear]

Keep hold of it and it will be worth more. As most people sell theirs for �50, the number in circulation decreases, pushing the value up.

Some clown paid �5000 for one on ebay but I can't see it ever being worth that much.

[vegasmad]

There's one being sold on e-bay now for �67.00 so far.

[squarebear]

Be wary if anyone is thinking of buying one on ebay as there are a lot of con merchants doing this at the mo. They say, "20p coin undated on the Queen's head side". Sure but they don't mention that it's an old coin with the date on the tails side!

[leggysmesiah]

its worth 50 quid numpty

unless a complete tube bought it ?

lol

karma how much did you bid ?

lol

[redcrx]

earlier in the year when this first came to light they were selling for a few hundred.

Keep hold of it for a while.

[squarebear]

Numpty? No need for insults.

It's worth �50 now but will be worth more in the future.

[leggysmesiah]

the greedy will lose out in the long run


serves em right

[4getmenot]

My friends got one, she's just going to keep it. ebay have sold some for only 20 quid recently.

[Rollo]

One of the items on Ebay says:

Here is a 20p coin with no date on the queens head side of the coin.

Hope this is what someone is looking for!

The 20p coin is worth 20p.

Happy bidding!


And a numpty has bid 99p for it!

LOL

[squarebear]

That's exactly what I mean. People don't check before spending their cash.

[leggysmesiah]

There was a big ad in yesterdays papers. The Royal Mint will buy them from you for �50, but you have to register first and it's only the first 10,000 and only one 20p per register.

[djwepg]

Thanks for all the answers, we have been on to one of the top coin dealers and they are not buying. Gave a faint impression it may all be a scam. Said we may get �20 if anyone wants to by it for its uniqueness. We're going to hang on to it for a bit
Just looked on e bay and there are 2803 on offer. Ah well I've had my dream of a cruise

[Dina73]

register with the Royal Mint. That is genuine. Did you see yesterdays newspapers?

[redcrx]

london Mint Office is offering �50 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/how aboutthat/5676529/Mix-up-at-Royal-Mint-creates -dateless-20p-pieces-worth-50.html

One went on e-bay yesterday for �7,600. Would suggest hanging on to it for quite some time, till the early rush is over. Early buyers generally just want to get their hands on the money, whereas genuine coin collectors buy them to keep. As there become less in circulation the price will go up. Those which are bought up by the Welsh minting company won't be going back into circulation, so that will remove quite a lot from the market.

[aprhys]

Just to clarify neither the government or the bank of england are offering �50 for these coins as far as they're concerned they're legal tender. The London Mint are a private company dealing in coins - you would probably get a lot more these coins than �50

[dot.haukes]

5 people at work have already got one and so if they are correct in identifting them, then there must be a hell of alot about
