20 pence Bailiwick of Jersey 2014

[Mattcoopes]

Hello all, I recently came across a 2014 20p with a lighthouse on it and the text Bailiwick of Jersey. A friend queried if it was a rare one and having looked online I am finding mixed information. There are some on eBay for £100s of pounds. I'm wondering if it is worth hanging on to or selling. Or worth no more than its face value. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Matt and welcome,

Nothing special unfortunately. Don't pay much attention to the prices on eBay they're always 1p to a million and everything in between. If you run across anything like this in the future and want to double check, search on eBay but take a look at the completed listings and it'll give you a much better idea of value.

All the best

[Guest hi nordle]

got the same coin but the date on it is 1998 is it just worth the face value or a bit more thanks

Hi Guest.

Nordle is outside doing the garden but shouted me to check the prices on ebay.

Having a look you can buy them for £2 including postage.

Hope that helps.

I've got a 2012 bailiwick of jersey 20p coin with a lighthouse n there's a lot going for £50+ on ebay. Is that a true price for it?

Or the "Sold" listings .. as these are the ones which are definately a done deal.

Looking at the mintage figures here...

Then sorry but I doubt if it has any more value than 20 pence.

For export???

[Unwilling Numismatist]

Obviously because 4.5 million people in the UK believe they are worth far more than 20p and need to collect them.....?

[copper123]

All the 20p coins if exported via ebay at £50 a pop would fetch £300,000,000 and please ebay with its final value fees and also leave the residents of jersey with full bank accounts (an average of £3000 a piece for every person on the island )

You was right first time.

[Guest You should sell it.]

Hi, I recently had one and sold it on ebay for £50.00. It was Definitely worth it!

Enjoy the odd stroke of luck but don't expect to have such luck regularly. I recall hearing a Chinese phrase when I was a child which translates to “To guard a tree-stump waiting for rabbits”

The story goes: one day a farmer was working in the fields and he saw a rabbit carelessly bumping into a tree stump and breaking its neck. The farmer took the rabbit indoors and cooked it. Later on that night he was thinking to himself “wow, I don’t need to farm anymore. All I need to do is to wait for a rabbit to run and kill itself each day by the stump”

I also have the same 20p coin as these on ebay but my one isn't dated like the rest listed. I know minting errors spike the value greatly but could anyone tell me if this is an error? Where the date should be on the coin its just missing

We really need pictures to give a practical comment.

[Guest The dark coo]

Yeah ofcourse, heres photos of it. 

[Rob]

That's normal (except for the red dots!)

why does some of theese coins have the date printed after the word "second" and this one doesnt at all? 

How do you tell the date this coin was made if theres no year printed?

[Sleepy]

Because yours is an earlier coin, it is marked 1982 on the rocks below the lighthouse, you'll also notice it has a younger version of the Queens head on it compared to more recent versions.

[Rob]

Because designs aren't set in stone in perpetuity. The 1982 coins have the date on the rocks below the lighthouse. This was a single year issue.
