So I researched the coin and all I could find was articles on errors that made this coin rare. Please help me understand this coinage. And if someone could tell me how to post pictures on a iPad that'd be great. Edited by YNumismetals Collector 10/06/2018 12:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 10/06/2018 08:53 am I have heard of undated 20p coins but not 2p. I would very much like to see this. The 20p came about because they changed the design moving the date from one side to the other, and accidentally mixed the old and new dies with no date. I have not heard of a similar story for the 2p. This causes me to wonder if it is a one-off minting error, or somebody has removed the date post minting. Good pictures may well help to decide how this occurred. Edited by Anaximander 10/06/2018 08:59 am Report this Post to the Staff
