200,000, 20 pence coins undated.

[30stone]

There has been 200k of undated,

20 pence piece coins.

Basically they haven't printed the date on them, they have to be the new picture on the front.

So check your 20p's because you can get 50 pound for them, and up to 130 pound on ebay!!!

I checked ebay ones got bids for 127 pound lol.

OMG haha! Thanks for this Ben, just checked my mums purse and nothing but i will look around the house :tongue:

[30stone]

Lol, yes i have loads upstairs dont think i have any though.

Just because of a simple error they are known as collectables and worth 50 + pound lol.

[BigSister]

I heard this on radio this morning ill have to check my purse

[Sam!]

So if they have no date on them, then they're worth £50? I'll have to have a look.

[Lewis.]

My mum had one. I just told her. She put it in a car park machine! :O

Pretty much, can get more on ebay though...

[CiaraD]

=O I must look now.

[Lewis.]

Not found any :/

[Zac]

Apparently if you keep it for 10 years, it'll be worth £200.

Guys, if you find one of these, i URGE you guys not to sell them. Trust me, in a few years time there will be less of them in circulation, and the prices will go up. just keep them, and if you can get your hands on one for a few hundred pounds, you might want to buy one, it will make for a good investment.

One went for nearly £6,000 today on ebay!

This is not fake. people actually are paying thousands of pounds for these (this seller even had the cheek to demand P&P, haha!)

Please be aware of their value and don't get ripped off

[pinkmichk]

just checked my purse 6 20ps none of them without a date

[Mrluvaluva]

Most current one on e-bay has 58 Bids and is up to £491.00 with 2d 3h 4m left, so the price is gonna shoot up on that.

£5,801.50 is ridiculous. Wish I had one. :bigsmile:

The more people give them into the mint people for 50 pound the more they will cost.

[Simone.]

[Benjamin]

[Ammi]

Anyone know how much the value is now?

20p? not 100% but I'm sure someone told me the Royal Mint would buy them back for £100

[ILoveTRW]

never knew about this, i hope the government have another competition soon.

Yes they are selling for £40-50 on ebay but you can sell them back to the mint for £100. http://www.londonmintoffice.org/undated20p/
Someone i know has been buying these on ebay since this came about and currently owns over 200 of them. He took voluntary redundancy after working somewhere for 30 years and wanted to invest his payout.
The banks are in no fit state to be investing in and getting much of a return so as a coin collector anyway he started picking these up from ebay.

As it stands he could cash in now and more than double his investment or more sensibly just carry on accumulating them and see how the prices do.
One thing for sure is its a rock solid no risk investment.

I had no idea how much they were selling on ebay for, but that's really great thinking and as you say, a no risk investment. Good luck to him, I hope his redundancy payout carries on growing.....you never know it could end up being something he looks back on as being a positive thing..........
