    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.

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

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

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

    Yeah, right!

  • I would imagine someone has already posted it,but here is a large picture for those who cannot define the given description.
    incorrect-undated-20p.jpg
    This is the new design 20p piece - and the version shown above is worth only its face value of 20p
    correct-undated-20p.jpg
    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.
