Default Anyone found a dateless 20p???

Father-in-law got one the other day, said he was going to take it to the bank to get £50 for it, when the wife pipes up, "don't do that, put it on Ebay"
I thought to myself, "yeah right, who's gonna pay more than that for it"

.....So i logged into Ebay and they're going for £80 an up Suppose the longer you keep it, the more it will appreciate in theory.

Plenty topics here about it already and im sure it's not the bank who give you £50 it's the mint instead? Or something like that.

Best get it on ebay!

My girlfriend has got 1, they are worth a shit load i wouldnt sell it for £100, 1 sold on ebay on the 1st july for £1 million pound sterlling!!!!! To some coin collector. Their are only 2% left in circulation, most of the 1's on ebay are fake, they are just the normal 20p pieces. I will get the link for that 1 on ebay wen i finish work so you can all av a look as most of you will think im bullshitin.

I got one of the dateless 20p`s the other weekend in change from a shop. i have put it together with the other coat of arms coins, so have the full 2008 collection.

I dont know if to flog the lot or keep them to see what happens to the prices.

I find that comment ironic since you've openly admitted selling a 20p coin for 90 quid
