CentR Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 03/05/2025 12:35 am Just purchased on ebay. Seller says the coin is non-magnetic and weighs 3.24 grams. Do you think this is a 2010 20p struck on a 5p planchet? Has anyone seen other examples? ChatGPT deepresearch found several examples in other years, but only one possible example of a 2010 on checkyourchange.com. It was listed as a 20p wrong planchet error, but that listing said further details were needed, and no specifics on which planchet were given. https://www.checkyourchange.co.uk/p...error-coins/ Ref number 20P028 Coin is in transit from UK, so I only have images from ebay ad.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17918 Posts	Posted 03/05/2025 04:01 am Interesting.... The British 5p coin switched from cupro-nickel to nickel-clad steel from 2011, so a 5p planchet from 2010 should be non-magnetic and weigh 3.25 grams.
