Has anyone sold one of these undated 20pences on Ebay and got paid? Is it worth listing one?
Thanks

Yes I sold mine for £240, got paid by paypal and the buyer was highly pleased with it, I think if you put it on a buy now for £250 or so it will go pretty quick!

Sometimes it takes its time to be seen or searched maybe because ebay are checking all of these 20p auctions to make sure they are not trying to confuse people and taking off them auctions.

I guess so,but LOADS more have been listed since 20.30 when mine was scheduled to start??
There is soooo many fake 'genuine undated' (on head side!) 20p's on ebay,can not believe the cheek of some people!

Sometimes if I make a little change in the writing on the page it takes an hour or two for me to search for the item again.

We checked our purses,wallets,money pots and piggy banks when we heard the story on Tuesday,with no luck.
Thought there was no chance of recieving one in change with all the hype in the news.Oh well

Then OMG,,,,,I nearly cried when she came home from school yesterday and showed me 'THE COIN':j:j.
I have checked,checked & checked again,but there is definatly NO DATE ON EITHER SIDE:T

She was given it in change while buying toast at school!!

The local paper are running a story on her and her lucky find!!!

We have discussed that because she recieved the 20p,she can chose what happens to the coin.
Ebay it is destined for,with the final selling price going into a trust fund for when she is older

good luck to others in tier search xx

Reminds me of Charlie Bucket and his lucky Wonka Golden Ticket find.

Did some woman offer you 50 quid plus a bicycle for it?

Congratulations on the find, your daughter is very lucky!

By the way, I read that one of the coins went for £7k yesterday:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196644/Rare-20p-coin-sells-7-100-eBay-thats-35-500-times-face-value.html

So, whatever you do, do NOT put a low buy-it-now price on your listing!

You might even wish to seek professional advice about what to do with your listing, but, if anything, I would recommend a high high high buy-it-now price - somebody might be that desperate for the coin that they'll pay it.

Also - buy all the extras for your eBay listing, even if it costs £10/15 - it will be worth it, and will mean YOUR listing is seen more often than the 99% of other listings without the extras.

Finally, good luck, and congrats!

Oh, also insist on no Paypal for the payment, as they'll take sh*tloads out of a purchase of several thousand pounds. Insist on personal cheque or direct bank transfer - NO paypal!
