Just after the undated 20p story broke in 2008 I discovered one in my change in near perfect condition. Having kept it safe I have only recently paid more attention to it as I have started collecting coins and it appears to have an error in addition to being undated. There is small unusual 'blobbing' on the queens nose, above the queens eye and in her hairline on the obverse in addition to an unusual indentation on the crown. On the reverse the leg and foot of the bottom lion appear misshapen. In addition there is a faint streaking coloration difference on the obverse (roller error?). All in all an interesting undated 20p. Was just wondering people's opinions please? I will try and post some photos for reference. Thanks, Cameron Report this Post to the Staff

The circled part on the queens crown is indented (not that clear from photos). And I think the streaking is apparent in the photos but clearer in natural light. The reverse isn't so clear but upon comparison with another 20 p coin the bottom leg definitely doesn't look right. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

camhird New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 09/14/2015 04:16 am OK thanks, Just wondered as you see a lot of people selling coins with these as error coins and I haven't seen any other undated 20p's with the these kind of markings. Never come across the coloration streaking before though. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions about things in future. Cheers, Cameron Report this Post to the Staff
