Is your 20p coin worth £50?

pretzelnut

ah darn, i just banked £50 worth of 20ps about a week ago. Now im wondering was there any in there?

Would be interesting to know if anyone is actually gonna pay 1000's for one though (who would be that daft) but well done to anyone who does get a buyer willing to pay that amount.

I remember first reading about this a few months ago and ever since I can't stop myself checking every 20 pence I come across. I have a feeling there will be tons of people now similalrly afflicted. (I still have not managed to find one:mad:)

Why are people selling the ordinary royal coat of arms 20p? Surely there are lots of these about? I have several. They are describing them as circulated but Mint Condition. I thought they had to be uncirculated to be mint condition.

Even if those coins were particularly rare, I wouldn't consider paying almost 6 grand for one!!! Reckon someone got a bit silly with the bidding there!

This is old news so why has it made the headlines today?

When I heard the story about these undated 20p's months ago I've been checking my change ever since, managed to get 2 so far.

Noticed these were changing hands on eBay for around £20-£25 up to last week. Guess the sellers are kicking themselves now the London Mint is offering £50 for them.

Sells for £5,800! Madness!

Oh, and the seller still charges £1.50 for postage. Cheapskate. ;);)

I thought it would have been a joke, a silly bid from a new user trying to scam the seller.

But, looking at the bid history, its a buyer with quite a lot of feedback! Amazing how someone feels they have to spend £5000 for a 20p
