chris Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 gooday peoplesi have had this new 20 pence coin from 2008. it is the new shield version and has the date on it but on the bottom of the coin where the matthew dent stamp is there is an extra piece of metal that looks like a number 1. i have done a little reasearch on it and did find an answer that it could be a first of batch for this coin.is this true or is it just an extra lump of metal left after minting the coin or has anyone got one of these coinsthanks Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 That same thing was also reported here a few months ago. I believe it is a '1' and probably (I don't know if the Royal Mint confirmed it) is some kind of die number. I've not been able to find one myself; how much do you want for it? Quote

Chris Perkins Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Can you also post a picture of the other side? Quote

Chris Perkins Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks.It has slight wear and signs of contact with other coins, as you'd expect for a coin that has circulated for up to 10 months. I'd pay £50 for it. Quote
