List it for 20p as you know it will go for more but make sure you have photos with something in the picture such as a newspaper with the date etc. You could always type a letter of authenticity up and get an independent witness to sign it. If you don't want to bother with all that then simply state that its not returnable or the buyer has to pick it up from you so that they can see it and you can hand it over.

If the buyer picks it up do not take paypal as payment, only cash or bank transfer. You have no paypal cover for a collected item.

They have just mentioned the £5800 on five news. If it is shill bidding, its not exactly a secret anymore!

Leave them just as they are! If you shine them up (e.g. with brasso) it puts tiny scratches in which detracts massively from their value! Maybe just soapy water and a dishcloth at most.

Thankyou, i'll take your advice x

The 5k sale is nonsense, a few have sold today at 300 pounds this is still ridiculous for a 20p coin

Are the 20p coins that actually have a date on in 2008 but exactly the same style selling on eBay?

most 20ps i have had have had a date on them not on the queens head side but reverse side.

so those saying they are undated on queens head are right but not rare as they are normally dated on reverse

I've put car parts on ebay before that have sold for more than what they cost at the main dealer! I think some poeple automatically think anything on ebay is a bargain.
