nathanjame Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I have discovered that I have a bronze 20p which is dated 2018. I would just like to know what I should do with this coin? I am a coin collector and have never even thought about selling any of my coins... but I read somewhere that there could be value behind a bronze 20p, so I am in two minds about what to do with it. Please let me know what you guys think. Quote

Please let me know what you guys think. do you have any pictures, i would start by sending it off to the royal mint museum to have it authenticated first off , they now charge £20 for this service https://www.royalmint.com/collector-services/valuations/ Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 ^^ What @craigy said, if the RM will validate it, you have a much better chance of decent value being attributed. Quote
VickySilver Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Ha, sounds good but what is the turnaround time? I hate to ask!!! Quote
PWA 1967 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 That £20 service is only for coins Pre-decimal and as far as passing it on i dont think they photograph it so you could never be sure it was the same coin. Quote
zookeeperz Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) I saw one of these coins for sale but I left it alone . Wasn't sure if it was just a lazy seller who had a one colour match setting for all his coins in Bronze\copper plated steel steel etc and forgot to take it off for the cupro coins he had although it was the only one that colour. To me it looked like it had missed the cladding part very golden brown colouring very strange. Wasn't be sold as anything other than a 20 pence si I just put it down to a crappy picture mock up. . Found it had a copy of the picture was from 1985 coin . not sure if this is a guilt version as there is a rub on the cheek that suggests there is a silver colour underlying?
