You are bidding on 2x UNDATED 20 Pence Pieces.
A technical error by the Royal Mint in 2008 has led to the circulation of the first undated coin in 300 years.
Here is your unique opportunity to own no one but two collectors item.
They are Genuine and in excellent condition.
These are genuine items as the pictures shows. I also have a video of the coin being rotated in front of a mirror, message me and I will be happy to send it.
The coin will be sent by Royal Mail Recorded Delivery.
Happy Bidding

Hope for no silence
Any chance you're letting this go? Or the Terengganu tin?
