two pound coin error

[Guest kal]

hey folks im new to all this coin stuff, ive got hold of some two pound coins dated 2005, and there is spelling mistakes of the edge, instead of remember remember the fifth of november, the november reads novembep.

i they sort after, have they got a value, or should i keep hold of them, or just put them back into circulation?

thanx folks

It's a fairly common problem with those (I mention it in my book Check Your Change). There are also other £1 and £2 that have problems with R's and certain other letters. I get contacted fairly often by people that have 1 or more of the PEMEMBEP coins.

Unless it's in perfect condition it probably has no value over the face value. Either keep it as an interesting thing, or spend it.

I have a sideline Collection of £2 Coins including Commemorative Issues and I have seen a fair few with problems with the Edge Inscriptions.

As already stated, unless it is 'Mint' condition, ie, from a Royal Mint Set, then the value is nothing but face other than curiosity.
