bobby501 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Hi All, New to this forum so a big hello to everyone. I have found a round 20p in my change and was wondering if it is classed as a mule? or something other than a stamping error? and the big question is it worth more than 20p face value? It is dated 2009 and still has the origional lustre although not mint condition.Here's hoping. Quote

Until then it would be hard to say what has happened to it. Oh and welcome to the forum Quote

Cerbera100 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 150kb max file size... you'll need to either make the photo smaller, or upload to somewhere like photobox and post the link!Welcome! Quote
SionGilbey Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I think it's probably the wrong plachet that somehow got mixed in with the 20ps, or just one that hasn't been cut properly. If you don't have a picture is it the same size as a 10p? A 5p? a 2 or 1p? How large is the diameter? Are there any other errors?What does the edge look like? Quote

Looks like the off-strike causes it to look rounder than it is. Quote

Cerbera100 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 could be an unplated penny blank... should be about 20mm if so... Quote
SionGilbey Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Well, see how it looks against another 20p and also a 1p to see how it is... then tell us. Quote
Guest Deew32 Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I have one the same ! And it's round weigh same as a normal 20p and is same size as a 20p so not filed down. Quote
