10P That Looks Like A 5P

[cobey321]

Hi guys ive came across a 10p coin that looks like a 5p coin, does anyone know the value of this?

[azda]

10p

[cobey321]

lol very funny, seriously though, its shaped like a 5p but says 10p on it, does it have any additional value?

[Chris Perkins]

What's the date? Pictures?

[Paulus]

Shaped? Aren't they both round? Do you mean it is smaller than normal? What's the diameter?

[Nordle11]

10p

Hahaha

Hahaha

Sounds like a 5p blank got mixed up with the 10ps and was struck as such. You're probably looking at £5-10.

That sound a bit optimistic. Ebay seems to get very under excited about errors.

Without a picture it could be anything. A 10p filed down to 5p size, a 10p struck on the wrong blank, toy money. What does it weigh? What metal is it struck in? Lots of unanswerable questions without a picture.

Can you be optimistic with a price of £5? While I agree that I personally wouldn't pay £5-10 for this type of error, you'd still struggle to find a similar example for less..

Really? I sold this one for £8.50...

I like errors on UK decimal. Just got a 50p blank (both sides) with letter from the Royal Mint confirming it to be genuine. . But without pics could advise on the 10p/5p.

But without pics could advise on the 10p/5p.

If the rest of us were to help I think we'd need pictures, though.

[VickySilver]

Well, minor clips don't get a lot of "play", but OMS (off metal strikes) and wrong planchets seem to do a bit better....

As above, need to see the coin if possible.

Sorry that should have been "Couldn't"

It's alright, some old dear read my tea leaves. Looks like I had mint tea.

OK I read those leaves, it is the price i will give you for Aethelred II Longcross Penny.

That amount wouldn't even buy you a museum copy.

Is your family motto 'Fair prices never paid'?
