    Hi, can anyone give me feedback on the 2000 millenium coin. i have seven of them that i might put on ebay, the coins were circulated but are all still bright and unscratched. the edges are milled with two short blank/ unmilled grooves opposite to eachother. what is collectors price for these coins. i also have various 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p coins, what dates if any should i look out for.
    i also have an uncirculated 1985 20p coin, i have been told this is worth 7euro by a coin dealer who wanted to buy it.
    any help on this please.

    Appears to show your 20p coin worth €7,000 - if it is I expect a commission!

    Are you sure its a 1985 coin you have and not a 1986, i ask because 1985 20ps are rare, only a handful of these coins were made and were use to check coin operated machines like phone boxes that they would accept the new coin as a result these coins are heavily circulated but worth alot of money

    We won't be hearing from the OP again - he's off to cash in his 20p. :D

    Hi all. Wow what a stroke of luck. 6500 euro for a 20p coin. I might not know much about coins but I can certainly read, 1985 was the date. My uncle who worked with a traveling fair gave it to me 15 years ago and I kept it with an old coin game.
    Just back from Egypt, thanks unc. LOL.

    Hope it helps you. And then maybe you will start to fight that Envious emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other person lacked it".:D

    Sorry, I'm a bit slow here - did you in fact ever have this coin? If you did may one enquire what happened to it since you discovered its value? :confused:

    No envious emotion here because I don't believe you ever had one. And I know what one looks like as I've had one in my hand.
