Oxford Lad finds ‘Golden Ticket’
What should you do if you find a 20p coin without a date on it?
It’s definitely worth checking your pocket to see if you find that coin that’s the equivalent of the ‘golden ticket’.
It seems a local lad has picked up one of the few 20 pence pieces that are suddenly fetching in hundreds of pounds.
The Royal Mint mix up has seen a batch of twenty pence coins produced without a date. A new design last year saw the date move to the “heads” side of the coin, but some coins were produced with the newly designed back and the old front – in other words, two sides with no date.
What should you do if you find one?
Most seem to have found their way onto ebay, but they are now considered a collectors’ item so who knows if they will increase in value in years to come?
If you just want to cash in now however, you can just register your details with The London Mint Office before sending in the coin and claiming your reward.
