Both Sides Of The Coin- 20p In Mirror

Hello,

I can see it's been about 8 days since my last post and in that time I have been using my digital SLR camera to try and achieve an image that illustrates this coin as being the real deal ie it can be clearly seen that this coin is undated on BOTH sides.

I will take a look through the many pictures I have taken as it may be preferred for the tails side to have been the side facing the camera.

For anyone reading this blog please feel free to comment.

Best Wishes

David.

Undated 20p on ebay for £5 Million - update

Further to the last post about the asking price on ebay for an undated 20p coin at £5 million I can now see that the auction ended in the early hours of 17th July.

You immediately wonder if it did sell but when you click on the "15 offers" hyperlink to the right of history: under item location you will get visibility of the list of offers and it can be deduced that there were no buyers as each offer has declined or expired next to it.

Undated 20p on ebay for £5 Million

I didn't intend posting again today but after seeing this listing on ebay I felt it was my duty to do so.

Check out this listing on ebay where the seller is asking for £5 million for an undated 20p coin.

Just in case a URL is preferred to the screenshot above here is the URL to the ebay listing. Seeing is believing:

Undated 20p listings on ebay

Hello

I have been strongly considering selling my undated 20p coin on ebay so I thought I would log on and take a look.I found this one where the seller has put up a Buy It Now price of £250,000 and getting offers too but my guess which is probably the same guess as most people is that the offers from would be buyers is not going to reach that amount.

There are other people listing their undated 20p for high amounts say £30,0000 which OK is not as high as the one above but are offering a great proportion of proceeds to charities eg 75% which is much more commendable than the above which is offering nothing.

I am still undecided though but have been taking photos such as the following in preparation for any prospective lsiting:

I think I will also try to get a mirror shot as to show both sides of the coin but I am pretty pleased with my attempts at still life photography with a camera phone but pleased with the above.

Once I get a mirror shot that shows the both sides of the coin which I consider good enough for an ebay listing I will also publish it here.

How much am I going to sell it for?
I don't know maybe the only answer to any valuation query to one of these undated 20p coins is how much is someone willing to pay for one?

Well if I do put it up on ebay if I am going to ask for a serious amount I am sure I will be donating a good percentage to charity too.

Regards

David.

Intro - Why the blog about the undated 20p

Hello All,

Let me introduce myself.

My name is David and I have a bad habit of letting coins spill out of my pockets indoors.

Earlier, while getting changed in the bedroom, in process of putting on a pair of jeans not long after having a shower(Yes I was dry before doing so) I noticed a 20p coin on the floor.

I just recently remember reading about the undated 20p thing in a copy of the Metro while travelling home from work on a train.

I picked it up and can confirm it is an undated 20p and the real thing as there is no date either side.

To be honest I am undecided as to sell it now or maybe in a few months time when this will become even rarer hence more valuable. I am NOT selling it for £50 to The London Mint.

Please bear with this blog in it's current scruffy form as I only just started this.

Anyone wish to add to debate here on this blog is welcome.

I hope you find one of these things too.

Best Wishes!

David.
Oxfordshire.
