if youve got 11 of them then post pictures ;-)

A rather pointless request.

I can post a single picture (or 2 - your choice) of the countless undated 20p coins in my possession - FIFTY at least :eek:

You can have either one of 50 undated heads and one of fifty latest design tails ...
or
one showing 25 undated heads AND 25 tails in the same shot.

I might just be able to show you BOTH sides of the same coins at the same time if I can get a mirror or 2 angled just right ..... :rotfl:

... and they say "they do it with mirrors"

Of course I've not actually got any - undated that is

But I have got loads of dated 20p pieces - 50 of the newest with no date on the tail - it's on the other side
50 of the previously issued version with the head showing the correct queen's head and wording but no date - it's on the other side - along with the WRONG DESIGN !!!

I've been winding up some friends all day actually showing them a small selection (NINE of them) that I said I'd found last night in my loose change.

I've got a clear perspex box about 3 inches square and a quarter inch thick
I've cut a piece of thick cardboard to fit the box exactly and cut into it 9 perfectly sized and shaped holes - each to accomodate a 20 pence piece.

I put my 9 undated 20p pieces into it so that I could display them and to protect them from damage etc. :rotfl:
My friends went green with envy when they saw them all :rotfl:

Of course there are Eighteen 20p pieces in the box !

Which brings me to this eBay auction ...

... and particularly the 2nd question

no one is going to pay that - are they? do you think it is someone just pushing the price up?

2 of the Q & As

Q: Hi aren't there 20,000 of these made?
A: im not sure to be honest....im no expert in these by a long shot just your average joe who was lucky enough to recive one in my change thank you

Q: How have you managed to photograph both sides of the same coin in a single photo?
A: hi i had more than one coin, but this is the last one i have to sell. thank you


Dodgy or what ?

What about this one????

I have one exactly like this but its 2007 on the other side. I thought it was to be no date at all????

Do you think people are getting confused???????

If so, my 20p's are going on ebay.

Well, that's what these sellers are hoping.....

"Im not a coin collector so im not sure if this is worth anything."

Yeah, right!

The_MoneySavingKid

I would imagine someone has already posted it,but here is a large picture for those who cannot define the given description.

This is the new design 20p piece - and the version shown above is worth only its face value of 20p

This is an error variety of the new design 20p piece - note that the Queen's head side does not have a date whereas the regular version carries the date '2008'.

Not sure what people are doing on ebay, I looked earlier but couldnt decide if some were trying to con people or just having a laugh as the bidding is all obviously fake....vaguely remember similar madness a few years ago over something (not coins)

Just worth 20p that one i think...

It has to have no date on what-so-ever. Yet this seller has blatantly said there is 2006 on the other side...Bizarre.
