My wife used to collect all of her odd coins and throw them into old coffee jars. I called her mad.. 🤔 Now I'm going to find out where she put all of "my" saved coins.😂
@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 It all adds up at the end. I'm always finding coins and using them to pay for things. When I was at school everyone called me a scrounger, until I went to the bank!!!! Never throw away a coin.
Just to clarify the whole 2p story, for the alarming amount of people that seem to be struggling with what was quite well explained. If you have a 2p from 1983 that reads 'New Pence', then you're laughing. If your 2p IS NOT from 1983, but says 'new pence', it's still worth 2 pence. If your 2p is from 1983, and doesn't say 'new pence', then see above.
Well at least you know now that you guys aren't the only ones worth less in this world now my coin joined u guys . Have a great day if I want I could send this worthless coin to u guys for nothing then all three of u worthless a holes can be together
I used to work in a reference library in the 1960s. Somehow got to the point where we had lunatics coming in every day demanding we value their coins! As if the public library was a coin dealer or auctioneer. Some - consulting the Seabys coin catalogue we typically referred them to - would actually return to the desk, demanding their money there and then! What caused all this? The local newspaper, with their regular valuable coins column - which stupidly never bothered to explain to their readers what a 'mint' quality coin was, or how that market actually worked. The problem didn't end until a group of local coin dealers - as sick of the situation as we were - threatened litigation against the newspaper. But I do remember a bright spot. Middle-aged lady with a 'cartwheel' penny. Not that uncommon - I have a couple myself. After consulting Seaby, she arrived at my counter demanding the £50 that catalogue said it was worth. I gently explained that - firstly - the library didn't buy antique coins, whatever they were worth. And secondly, Seaby was referring to mint or almost mint coins which hers most certainly was not. What did mint mean? It means, madam, that the coin is essentially untouched since it left the Royal Mint. She flew into a rage - how could such a thing be possible for such an old coin? She knew what I was up to! I was trying to rob her of her £50!!! I eventually had no choice but to have a couple of janitors lift her by the elbows and deposit her on the pavement outside.
I got given a few of those 2p two pence coins by my grandad..it was in with some new Zealand half crowns with king George on them and also some shilling coins aswell.. didn't think they would be worth that much..i live in Australia and originally from new Zealand but moved to Australia 30 years ago
To have 37 new (2) pence coins, and none of them for 1983. Fun search though, got more coins upstairs, will look at them tomorrow. This has taught me to never turn in coins when you are skint! Keep them! I'm sure Queen Elizabeth coins will be worth something in the future.
I have about £250 worth of 1p,2p,5p,10p,20p and 50p's back from when i needed a lot of loose change. Might have a look at some point. I shall put it on my to do list and might get around to it before the start of the next decade :)

@BitsAndBobsCoins At the end of the day, it's just a lump of copper. Let fools throw their money away. It's a good reflection of how out of control the whole world is. Some have lots, while many have little. Many can't afford to buy simple basics like food or electricity. Hey ho, that's changing rapidly.
I've got loads of old coins. Also I have many rare ones worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. I have buried them in a secret location. In a large treasure chest.
I have a 2012 silver shield one penny, took me a while to find out about this coin. It's a Lucky silver penny for Newborn babies. It is a non circulating coin although I got it in my change, I check my change all the time. It hasn't come out of a pack and could be mistaken as silver coins did come in a pack from the Mint in 2011 again they are NIFC and I think would be worth more than my coin. Keep checking you'll never know what you will find.
I watched this earlier …. I went to check my 1983 mint collection sets that I have as I was born this year And I have it ! All say 50 pence and one 2p that says NEW PENCE I am putting it on eBay tomorrow and hope you are correct THANK YOU
@@BitsAndBobsCoins Nice one It’s strange how your video came up and I wasn’t even thinking or looking for coins and then this happens I have 4 boxes and all with Two Pence and then I done a double take and saw one with New Pence How strange Thanks for your video Maybe I will take to a coin seller and see how honest they are and if they make a sensible offer it’s theirs Nice one
I have got a old two pence coin with extra bronze metal spilt on Elizabeth between the z and the t extra on the 'abe' bit of the coin. And a twenty pence coin 2003 and if I remember correctly it's got a blob of extra metal on the second zero 20🔘3 on it, so it looks this almost like I described. And five and ten pound notes with mistakes on them extra, printing ink smudges on the edges, extra on the mirgins. And on the opposite sides with print of 10's about fifteen of them on the face of Austin country side picture and meant to be on the other side of the note. And on others of some notes with missing print on the Queens neck and Winston Churchill eyebrow and the clock face of five pound notes, you can see the st Steven's tower it says three'0'clock and some on other notes saying quarter to twelve on some five pound notes and extra print on the roundals at the bottom of five pound notes with extra circles of black ink off centre and missing ink on note numbers and extra blobs as well. Notes with black ink on some of these numbers or on the bank of England bit and none of this washes off I have tried. How much could all these be worth. I had a row with one of those coin UA-camrs over a set of non circulation of a bad of coins that my bank said it had come from a bonded Wearhouse and all forty 50 pences saying they are only worth face value when they have been bagged up in October 2016 peter rabbit and kept at one of the bank's wearhouse's and I bought in 2019 when they were going to close up the counter service and I was told that they sold the rest of the coins to the post office and this person will be unnamed but in my eyes a clown has thousands of UA-cam videos and other videos on other platforms . Bonus on five pound notes if you look at the two figures half way down on the women she has a penis sticking out and those with bad eyesight, near her arse of the woman on five pound if you turn the notes horizontal you can make out a grinning face of a lookalike Ricky Chevaiz that's it from me also checkout two pounds with extra lumps on the skull of Shakespeare's coins and two pounds with the wheels in the centre of the coins with extra blobs of metal sometimes two or three wheels with extra bits of metal some have only one and the pip's on the front side only going half way round or the top and bottom pips gone but only pips on the left side and right sides that's my tips to look out for Love mum
In 2008 I got a handful of change which included 5 shiny new (probably mint condition) 20p pieces (I think the shop had no pound coins in the till) and I thought it was strange that I couldn't find a date on any of them but to my shame didn't give it a second thought and spent them. It was only a few weeks later when I saw reporting about the minting error that I realized what I'd had and lost. At that point they were selling for around £2000 each... 😭

I actually feel sick at learning this helpful information as I'm currently in a desperate financial situation and was recently having to go through a jar of loose change just so I could exchange them in the Post Office for higher denomination coins to be able to buy milk and bread. I found this 2p coin and thought to myself that it was strange having "new" on it instead of "two". But I had to add it to the rest of the 2p's in order to make £1. so that I could get a single coin instead. 😢
@@BitsAndBobsCoins aww thank you, that's sweet of you to reply and say. I've learnt now to be more knowledgeable about this subject so hopefully will be more fortunate next time.
I’ve got two of the 20pences without a date coz I work in a pub and I used to go through all the bagged change when I found out they were first selling for £3,000 on eBay but the price went down when people were selling normal ones by just showing one side without a date
😆 when I was young I had a mint set of the new coins in a little collectors folder. My dad gave them to me Being an idiot I promptly popped them out and bought some chocolate...
The year 1977 saw the release of the “Nine Hands Fifty Pence” - an urban myth perpetuated by people was that, if you got one with ten hands on it instead of nine, it was worth a fiver!
Hi @bit’s & bob’s I have the "Britain’s first decimal coins" set in their wallet that I bought new at the time of release. Set consists of half 1971/one 1971 /two1971 /five1968 and ten pence1968, they all say new pence , so I guess if all of these said "new " they all did and are not valuable, not sure if they are worth anything other than their face value. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would.
I've been searching for a 1972 two pence for years. I came to the conclusion they didn't make them as all where made in one go in 1971. The year of decimalisation. They are out there though. Often in special presentation form. Try searching yourself. It'll drive you nuts.
@@BitsAndBobsCoins Yes , indeed. In fact that is something that has had me wondering for years and years, about 'defacing' currency of the Monarch ? I was led to understand that destroying or defacing any of our currency was actually illegal.. memories of kids at school scratching the faces clean off pennies and twos with a compass (when they probably could have been paying attention to class), and they thought they were doing something really bad.. Is it bad? Can't be if you can stick a penny in a machine with a 50 or Pound to pay to make the machine operate to press the penny into a souvenir from whichever place ?? Can't be illegal then, can it? Can we smelt our coppers?! I reckon in a few decades our pennies and 2ps might be worth more as raw metals !? What do you think?
This really isn't too surprising. Decimalisation was in 1971, all 1p and 2p (and half pence) coins made for decimalisation were dated 1971... though most were made earlier, they made 1.45 billion 2p coins dated 1971, more than double the number for any other year - it's not a massive surprise that a fair few of them are bouncing around even after 53 years!
I'm shocked! I've got 10 x 2p and a few other denominations as loose change to hand. The first two pence I picked up actually has New Pence on it. Its a bit green in places but its dated 1971.
@@BitsAndBobsCoins Thank you for the quick response and informative video. It was almost an antique roadshow moment when I saw it but the date let me down. Have a good one.
@@BitsAndBobsCoins I became very excited at the moment I found the coin because I thought it was worth £2000; only to find it was only worth about £60. But still as a coin collector I was pleased with my find 😁
Are used to collect coins with my brother and then I stopped and gave them all to my brother but that is very interesting to know. I’ll have to do some searching.
I remember having one of the dateless 20 pence pieces back in 2008 as a student, had to sadly spend it as needed it. I did swap out one of my regular 50p pieces for an Olympics 2012 Offside one when working in Wetherspoons, still have that and do not regret it
For years I wouldn’t spend a 20 pence piece,put a few hundred in the bank with them,still got it in there.give up when you never got so many in your Change it was taking longer to save a pittance.
The 50p one wouldn’t work they were made smaller in 1997 so you would have to have a non circulation 50p which were larger in size for that to work so you would only be able to do this with the 2ps and 20ps as 20ps changed size in 1982 and 2ps have always been the same size since decimalisation. Also 10ps changed size in 1992 so any 80s 50p or 10ps wont be in circulation any more. And 5ps changed size in 1990.
I have a fifty pence piece 2016 and queen on one side, just a image of a squirrel and the wording 'squirrel nutkin' on the other side, is it worth more than 50p?

The over pricing of such coins is out of control
@BitsAndBobsCoins At the end of the day, it's just a lump of copper. Let fools throw their money away. It's a good reflection of how out of control the whole world is. Some have lots, while many have little. Many can't afford to buy simple basics like food or electricity. Hey ho, that's changing rapidly.
Nice do it nicely@@turtle-Alchemist
I've got loads of old coins. Also I have many rare ones worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. I have buried them in a secret location. In a large treasure chest.
Very nice 🙂
I have a 2012 silver shield one penny, took me a while to find out about this coin. It's a Lucky silver penny for Newborn babies. It is a non circulating coin although I got it in my change, I check my change all the time. It hasn't come out of a pack and could be mistaken as silver coins did come in a pack from the Mint in 2011 again they are NIFC and I think would be worth more than my coin. Keep checking you'll never know what you will find.
Very true
Good to keep an eye out
I watched this earlier …. I went to check my 1983 mint collection sets that I have as I was born this year
And I have it !
All say 50 pence and one 2p that says NEW PENCE
I am putting it on eBay tomorrow and hope you are correct
THANK YOU
Amazing
If it doesn't sell on eBay you could consign it to a larger auction
@@BitsAndBobsCoins
Nice one
It’s strange how your video came up and I wasn’t even thinking or looking for coins and then this happens
I have 4 boxes and all with Two Pence and then I done a double take and saw one with New Pence
How strange
Thanks for your video
Maybe I will take to a coin seller and see how honest they are and if they make a sensible offer it’s theirs
Nice one
Hey, I found 20p/2p’s in my pocket, where can I sell them in London? Thanks for the Tips!!!😅
Which ones?
I have got a old two pence coin with extra bronze metal spilt on Elizabeth between the z and the t extra on the 'abe' bit of the coin. And a twenty pence coin 2003 and if I remember correctly it's got a blob of extra metal on the second zero
20🔘3 on it, so it looks this almost like I described. And five and ten pound notes with mistakes on them extra, printing ink smudges on the edges, extra on the mirgins. And on the opposite sides with print of 10's about fifteen of them on the face of Austin country side picture and meant to be on the other side of the note. And on others of some notes with missing print on the Queens neck and Winston Churchill eyebrow and the clock face of five pound notes, you can see the st Steven's tower it says three'0'clock and some on other notes saying quarter to twelve on some five pound notes and extra print on the roundals at the bottom of five pound notes with extra circles of black ink off centre and missing ink on note numbers and extra blobs as well. Notes with black ink on some of these numbers or on the bank of England bit and none of this washes off I have tried. How much could all these be worth. I had a row with one of those coin UA-camrs over a set of non circulation of a bad of coins that my bank said it had come from a bonded Wearhouse and all forty 50 pences saying they are only worth face value when they have been bagged up in October 2016 peter rabbit and kept at one of the bank's wearhouse's and I bought in 2019 when they were going to close up the counter service and I was told that they sold the rest of the coins to the post office and this person will be unnamed but in my eyes a clown has thousands of UA-cam videos and other videos on other platforms . Bonus on five pound notes if you look at the two figures half way down on the women she has a penis sticking out and those with bad eyesight, near her arse of the woman on five pound if you turn the notes horizontal you can make out a grinning face of a lookalike Ricky Chevaiz that's it from me also checkout two pounds with extra lumps on the skull of Shakespeare's coins and two pounds with the wheels in the centre of the coins with extra blobs of metal sometimes two or three wheels with extra bits of metal some have only one and the pip's on the front side only going half way round or the top and bottom pips gone but only pips on the left side and right sides that's my tips to look out for
Love mum
Your best bet is to send pictures to a coin company such as the Britannia Coin Company for valuation
In 2008 I got a handful of change which included 5 shiny new (probably mint condition) 20p pieces (I think the shop had no pound coins in the till) and I thought it was strange that I couldn't find a date on any of them but to my shame didn't give it a second thought and spent them.
It was only a few weeks later when I saw reporting about the minting error that I realized what I'd had and lost. At that point they were selling for around £2000 each... 😭
Oh no 😮
Many people have realised to late
Who knows what we have all spent without realising
Yeah yeah i know!, and 180 years ago , I posted a letter with a brand new Penny Black on it 😮 if only I'd have realised that 180 years later how much it would be worth! Then there was that rainbow I saw with a REAL leprechaun, dancing round this shiny big pot with like yellow light shining out of it, it was only when i thought about it the next day, i wondered if it coulda been a pot of gold! But no one thinks at the time 😮.. AND DON'T get me started on that Horde of Coins i found in a field that i drilled holes in to make buttons for me mums knitted cardigans! What am I like, hey! 🤷♂️🤦♂️🙄....might buy a lottery ticket on Saturday....but I just don't seem to be lucky, nothing out of the ordinary EVER happens to me! 🤷♂️🫤
What about a one pence piece minted in 1976 states 1 new penny, is that worth anything
@@petertyler9796 Yeah, it's worth 1p 🙄
@@tallpaul7130 Can't quite figure out what this is a failed attempt at... Sarcasm? Humor? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I actually feel sick at learning this helpful information as I'm currently in a desperate financial situation and was recently having to go through a jar of loose change just so I could exchange them in the Post Office for higher denomination coins to be able to buy milk and bread. I found this 2p coin and thought to myself that it was strange having "new" on it instead of "two". But I had to add it to the rest of the 2p's in order to make £1. so that I could get a single coin instead. 😢
Hope you are doing well
It's a very slim chance that it would have been worth more than 2p
It is very rare
@@BitsAndBobsCoins aww thank you, that's sweet of you to reply and say. I've learnt now to be more knowledgeable about this subject so hopefully will be more fortunate next time.
Come the crusade what will 2 New Pence get ya....
🤣
I’ve a 1971 2p with new pence writing. Worth £1.50 on eBay. Yay
So why the huge difference in price for the same year
And here's me thinking I was stupid to collect a bunch of 2p's 😆 I'm going to go through them all now
Good luck 🤞
Oh no! I had a massive jar of 2p’s that I gave to a friend for her kids to play on the arcade machines at Blackpool 😅
Oh no
I'm sure it was all good it's a very scarce coin indeed
I’ve got two of the 20pences without a date coz I work in a pub and I used to go through all the bagged change when I found out they were first selling for £3,000 on eBay but the price went down when people were selling normal ones by just showing one side without a date
Yes a cruel trick
Yea I'm pretty sure that'll be some sort of theft 😅😅
😆 when I was young I had a mint set of the new coins in a little collectors folder. My dad gave them to me Being an idiot I promptly popped them out and bought some chocolate...
Oh well
At least you got some chocolate 😜
Not an idiot.
That's what money is for.
I did have one of the undated 20p coins in about 2014, it sold for £65 on ebay!
Nice 👍
But the buyer never paid you though 😂
I remember that style and look. I may have one...
That listening on ebay never sell for that price lol
I have a 2p from 1983 that has "OLD" pence....worth anything?
Will be checking all my change from the carboot sale.
Fingers crossed 🤞
The year 1977 saw the release of the “Nine Hands Fifty Pence” - an urban myth perpetuated by people was that, if you got one with ten hands on it instead of nine, it was worth a fiver!
I had not heard that myth
Hi @bit’s & bob’s
I have the "Britain’s first decimal coins" set in their wallet that I bought new at the time of release. Set consists of half 1971/one 1971 /two1971 /five1968 and ten pence1968, they all say new pence , so I guess if all of these said "new " they all did and are not valuable, not sure if they are worth anything other than their face value.
If I could figure out how to post a pic I would.
That set is best to keep
It's worth £1
I haven't got much to say. but I thought I'd have my two penneth worth ...
Thanks for commenting
Decimal coins were first issued in 1968. Theses were the 5p & 10p
Very true
I've been searching for a 1972 two pence for years. I came to the conclusion they didn't make them as all where made in one go in 1971. The year of decimalisation. They are out there though. Often in special presentation form. Try searching yourself. It'll drive you nuts.
I have just bought one today 😂
I couldn't find it either
I have a 1971 Two Pence Piece that says New Pence on the back.
I had a kew gardens 50p and only sold for £70 6 years ago i wish kept hold of it.
At least you didn't spend it
i hav two new 50p, about 3 new ½p, a couple 10 new p, a 5 new p, but no 2p, kept them for a reason, thanks for your info🍾
Glad to help
I have 23 of them resulting of £49,680
They will not be 1983 new pence
@@BitsAndBobsCoins what do you mean? I’m confused?
I have three 50p coins. Two with Peter Rabbit and one with Paddington bear on them. Do you think they are worth anything in money value?
Sadly only 50p unless Peter rabbit is 2018 or later
I have 30 or more of these , they are as common as muck
Not with the 1983 new pence error
Amazing how many people watched this video and didn't understand it.
Yes
@@BitsAndBobsCoins You have more patience than me. 😂
I have a 20p with no date from 2008, been locked up in my shotgun cabinate since 2008!
Very nice indeed 💯
When I was a kid I had a 10p coin that had been struck on a 2p blank. It was otherwise a normal 10p. I don't know what happened to it.
A cool error to find
I have a 1983 one pound coin where the writing along the edge is upside down. any idea what it worth is? The back has the Royal Arms on it
Sadly it's only 50/50 the rotation of the edge inscription
Got half pence, one pence, 1 two pence, 3 - five pences and a 10 pence with new on them but 1968 to 1971. No 1983s, guess I'm out of luck again.
Still, always worth a check
I have at least six of them edition cards.
should Inseprate them or sell a a job lot ,
Any Offers ?
the 2p push coin games at the coast may be hiding some treasures was in bridlington yesterday too
Always keep an eye out
I wonder how many valuable coins have been smushed to make souvenirs?! 😮😅
A sad thought
@@BitsAndBobsCoins Yes , indeed. In fact that is something that has had me wondering for years and years, about 'defacing' currency of the Monarch ?
I was led to understand that destroying or defacing any of our currency was actually illegal.. memories of kids at school scratching the faces clean off pennies and twos with a compass (when they probably could have been paying attention to class), and they thought they were doing something really bad..
Is it bad?
Can't be if you can stick a penny in a machine with a 50 or Pound to pay to make the machine operate to press the penny into a souvenir from whichever place ??
Can't be illegal then, can it? Can we smelt our coppers?! I reckon in a few decades our pennies and 2ps might be worth more as raw metals !? What do you think?
Supd and liked👍
Oneness 😎☝
Thank you very much 👍
Does any of the 2p before 1983 worth anything as I have some from 1981 1980 and some from other years before
Sadly not
Funny, the first coin i pulled out of wallet was a 1971 New 2p
Me too but it’s not worth anything
This really isn't too surprising. Decimalisation was in 1971, all 1p and 2p (and half pence) coins made for decimalisation were dated 1971... though most were made earlier, they made 1.45 billion 2p coins dated 1971, more than double the number for any other year - it's not a massive surprise that a fair few of them are bouncing around even after 53 years!
I'm shocked! I've got 10 x 2p and a few other denominations as loose change to hand. The first two pence I picked up actually has New Pence on it. Its a bit green in places but its dated 1971.
Sadly has to be 1983 but still a nice coin
@@BitsAndBobsCoins Thank you for the quick response and informative video. It was almost an antique roadshow moment when I saw it but the date let me down. Have a good one.
I have the undated 20p coin that I found in my car, of all places. Worth about £60 on ebay, but I'm not selling mine.
Very nice 💯
@@BitsAndBobsCoins I became very excited at the moment I found the coin because I thought it was worth £2000; only to find it was only worth about £60. But still as a coin collector I was pleased with my find 😁
Where to sell it
Pawn shop I think
Are used to collect coins with my brother and then I stopped and gave them all to my brother but that is very interesting to know. I’ll have to do some searching.
Very nice 🙂
I've got 4 1880 short tail sovereign,s ,,,and are not known 😮
Amazing 🤩
I have 7 2 new pence dated 1971 as well as some one pence dated the same time .
Not sure if they are worth anything but i keep them with a few collectable coins lol.
I’m still searching for a Kew Garden 50p to add to my off side rule and Beatrix potter collection
Good luck 👍
Thanks, useful information 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I remember having one of the dateless 20 pence pieces back in 2008 as a student, had to sadly spend it as needed it.
I did swap out one of my regular 50p pieces for an Olympics 2012 Offside one when working in Wetherspoons, still have that and do not regret it
Very nice swap
So do the 2p coins need to say new pence. ? I have a penny with new penny. Is this what you mean.
It must be new Pence 1983 2p
For years I wouldn’t spend a 20 pence piece,put a few hundred in the bank with them,still got it in there.give up when you never got so many in your Change it was taking longer to save a pittance.
I've got a 1971 silver 2 new pence piece I wonder how much this would bring as an error coin?

This video may help
Learned something today
Thank you 🙏
I've got a farthing, is that worth anything? My local pub didn't think so! Thanks for a great video, be lucky everyone
Depends on the date
What year is it
I have a few New Pence 2p dated 1971
Nice 👍
the market price is much higher however i have a big collection from 1/2 P to one pound
Very nice
So if they minted 20ps without a date by accident, might they also have minted some with a double date by accident?
Always worth looking for new errors
Cooool 🤘🏻 I have the undated 20 pence in mint condition
Very nice indeed 💯
just looked in my change pot and i have 2 NEW PENCE 2 ps, one dates 1971 the other is 1979 what would these be worth
2p each sadly
I have a bronze 20p but I think it's worth more than 850 more like 1600 thanks for the video
Thank you
Amazing coin
any info on 1/2p coins when i moved into my house found a carrier bag with £8.50p in half pence coins.
72 is the date to look for
I’ve got a queen Ann shilling with no date probably not worth a penny today
But back then I expect you could buy a lot with it
Old coins could certainly buy a lot in the day
There should be a date around the reverse somewhere
Piggy bank vs Clawhammer..
I just found 6 2ps all saying new pence . 1971 ×3 , 1981 ×2 , 1975 .
Worth - 12p 😂
Okay so found that 20 p with no date on it
Amazing 🤩
That is a great 20p
The 50p one wouldn’t work they were made smaller in 1997 so you would have to have a non circulation 50p which were larger in size for that to work so you would only be able to do this with the 2ps and 20ps as 20ps changed size in 1982 and 2ps have always been the same size since decimalisation. Also 10ps changed size in 1992 so any 80s 50p or 10ps wont be in circulation any more. And 5ps changed size in 1990.
Very true
Please don't joke.i got many of your collections .I'm from Solomon Islands..
Colour is the correct way of spelling.
deleted for racist fings on colors
I have a few “new pence” 2p’s. Are they of no value unless it is 1983?
Correct 💯
I'm sorry but you are wrong, their value is 2 pence 👍
@@GazGaryGazza haha 😆
I'm sure there will be a video explaining this on youtube if you search for this information.
Yes I do have the 1971 2 pence coin are u interested in buying it ?
We don't buy coins
And that coin is sadly worthless
I have a fifty pence piece 2016 and queen on one side, just a image of a squirrel and the wording 'squirrel nutkin' on the other side, is it worth more than 50p?
Not really until a collector really needs it
