Check your 20p coins, some have been released with no date stamped on them, their bringing about £40/50 on Ebay, collectors want things like this :D

undated 20p coin, Coins items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

Just passed the info on to swtsmbo, and the baft bat said what date are they, I might have some.

Retlaw.

LOL, there 2008 though even though its not stamped on them :D
Apparently the Royal Mint won't say how many they let into circulation

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

I'll bet theirs a load fakers, now at it with their dremel tools, polishing the date of 20p pieces.
At 40 quid a time its not bad pay, fo a bit of polishing.
Retlaw.

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

Get yer drift but don't think its that easy, take a look at this image and you will see there is no place for the date, so one with the date on and scrubbed off will have a big gap

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

dates on the other side:confused:

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

bet theirs loads of con artists selling em on e-bay by showing photo of the wrong side. n the suckers will buy em.:rolleyes:

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

No date on the other side, it is a genuine mistake by the royal mint.
Funny you should say that, there are a few photos on Ebay that show the wrong side :)

I had a few once - they were Winston Churchill memorial crowns issued in 1965 the year of his death.
That was before decimalisation and so 25p is face value now I think

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
 

never even heard of one of them, but will flog a dozen on e-bay.:D

Re: I'll let you into a little secret :)
