Patriot, if proven correct this is a very rare find and absolutely needs to be slabbed. You've hit a jackpot!

Thank you so much, zookeeperz and Hondo, for sharing your knowledge with me!! I have never submitted a coin for grading, so I will start my research on that. It will be so interesting to some day know how many of these coins are found.
I would like to thank everyone in this community for all that you do. As a fairly novice collector I spend hours reading the topics and answers, and I continue to learn so much. I hope all of you know how much you are appreciated!

Why does it need to be slabbed, necessarily? I think it would be better to keep it in its original packaging.

Argh... I have four of these and I just checked them, all are 5 pounds.
I could have retired on the proceedings if they were like yours.

Pavka14 - I'm sorry you do not have one! I still cannot find any information online regarding this mule coin, so I truly have no idea how many were released or value.

Hello friends, I had the 2022 QE II mule coin certified and slabbed. So happy it came back PR70! I have no idea what the value might be. There is one other of said mule coin graded by NGC. No idea if there are others out there. Any wisdom you can share on......How does a person ascertain what the value might be? greatest value now or waiting a few years? if decide to sell, best avenue for that? Thanks so much!  |

Fantastic, Patriot - that's wonderful! Personally, I would hold on to it for a while - perhaps a long while. Keep an eye on the PCGS and NGC population reports - that may be your only way of determining how many there are (unless, of course, The Royal Mint fesses up and admits how many they made). When the time comes to cash it in, I would investigate using either a UK auction house or a top US one such as Heritage. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Thank you for your reply Errers. Thank you Hondo for sharing your thoughts and wisdom on keeping it for awhile and avenues if I decide to sell. I wish The Royal Mint would say how many were released! |

Wish I'd seen this earlier! I think the mule would be worth a lot more in a few years time if kept carefully in its original packaging. So sad...

@Spyro it has been the case for a very long time now despite even my reservations on slabbing .When it comes to selling coins on Slabbed coins double and triple the raw values at auction. In original packaging it would of been a mule in original packaging . I think it still would make good money but having a certification plus the PF70 it was hands down the best decision for this particular coin. Depending on the population of these mules although I can't see there being a boat load of PF70 I would think this would easily make 4 figures . It's a case of watch this space now for a few years

Thank you for your thoughts Zookeeperz. I am a fairly beginner coin collector, so your confirmation that it was a good decision to certify and slab this coin gave me a huge sigh of relief. It is an interesting ongoing search to see if any more of these show up. I appreciate all of the posts this knowledgeable group shares!
