A rare 20p coin, lacking a date on either side, is causing a stir among coin collectors. This unique coin, dubbed the ‘undated 20p’ and considered a ‘holy grail’ by enthusiasts, could be worth significantly more than its face value. The reason for its rarity? A minting error that occurred back in 2008, resulting in a coin without a date on either side.
According to a TikTok user, @CoinCollectingWizard, who shared the news with his 189,000 followers, this coin has become highly sought-after by collectors. The Royal Mint confirmed the error, stating that the exact number of undated 20p coins in circulation is unknown but believes it’s no more than 250,000.
The TikTok video, which reveals the potential selling price of the coin, highlights the value of this unique find. The voiceover explains that the coin is considered a must-have for serious collectors and its value is reflected in eBay sold prices, with an average selling price of around £50.
The video has sparked a flurry of comments, with viewers sharing their own experiences of finding the rare coin. One user claimed their mother found one tucked between sofa cushions, while another boasts of having one in their collection.
So, do you have one of these rare undated 20p coins tucked away in your pocket or purse? It might be worth checking your change and seeing if you’ve struck gold!
