RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted March 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2012 I asked this seller what was different abut this coin. His reply was the single word "Hi". Draw your own conclusions. The reply: Dear colin_mcleod, if you look at the listing ( and type it in ebay you will find that it isn't just me selling this. Im proving a point that you can sell anything on here! - cashworth1963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) This guy looks genuine but I can't help thinking this is an awful lot to pay for Brio on steroids. (Yes I appreciate there's quite a bit of labour involved in the workmanship but £176 for the bare bodies?) http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53ebecd916 Edited March 10, 2012 by Metr0Land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted March 10, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not railway-related but surely this takes the biscuit! An undated 20p coin - on tails side only! It has the date just on the heads side - as they all do. But some mug has been fooled and has already bid for it. You have to laugh .... http://www.ebay.co.u...=item41635e0828 The going rate on ebay auctions seems to be around £50 for the real thing, otherwise you can BIN - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20P-COIN-UNDATED-BOTH-SIDES-GENUINE-RARE-MINT-ERROR-20P-COIN-/190628348513?pt=UK_Coins_OtherBritish_RL&hash=item2c6255c261 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood (maybe wrongly?) that, unlike stamps, errors on coins are worthless. Edited March 11, 2012 by Il Grifone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovenor Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I understood (maybe wrongly?) that, unlike stamps, errors on coins are worthless. Gold plating them seems to reduce the price Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Undated coins are a major cock up and embarrassment for the mint - I understand that it only ever happened once before in the royal mints entire history. Because of the embarrassment, the mint was offering £50 per undated coin that was returned - maybe that offer still stands hence the ebay price hovering around the £50 mark? At the time it hit the press and got a lot of publicity undated 20p coins were selling on ebay at up to £500!!! And if you were a shop that happened to have a bag of them from the bank for your change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem there - just slice it down the middle and join the two ends, and bingo, it's a yard long! Suitable for monorails only, of course!
