TopGun Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 http://www.undated20p.com/ Check your pockets. I used 10 20p pieces this morning in Sainsburys on a sandwich. I might have blown £500 on a cheese ploughmans. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 Gah, I remember using a shiny 20p over the weekend. The local bakery could be £££ now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 http://www.undated20p.com/ Check your pockets. That site even tells you how to identify one of these coins that has no date on it. Very helpful indeed as I was wondering what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 It's linked to from this site : http://www.londonmintoffice.com/ :smt102 "The London Mint Office is a wholly-owned subsidiary of one of Europe's most successful direct marketing organisations', the Samlerhuset Group. " They have shedloads of these kind of outfits in the States, flogging all sorts of junk to collectors through TV commercials. Their adverts are full of phrases like "due to incredibly high demand we must insist on a limit of 5 sets [of crappy coins] per household".

St Landrew Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 Wait a few years while everyone surrenders their undated 20ps to the Mint for £50. Then yours will be worth a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junction 9 Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 I have a very rare 20p coin from 2004 if anyone would like to start the bidding. I can provide pictures, it's quite shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 29 June, 2009 Share Posted 29 June, 2009 I have an extremely rare 20p coin from 2009. It has 3 flaws/errors, it has the date '1999' stamped on it, it has the wrong currency value on it ie is says '5p' instead of the '20p' it should have, and it is the wrong size too (about the size of a 5p piece). This is the only one in existence to the best of my knowledge. Yours for a tenner, or consider swapping for a nine bob note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
