I've got one of those rare 2p's!

[Chris Perkins 228]

The 1983 'New Pence' 2p

I received 2x 1983 Brilliant Unclirculated Royal mint sets today, each with a different 2p in it (one of them being the mule of course). I will arrange paying the seller (who was fully aware about the 2p situation) and I may hang onto this coin as there are a relative unknown amount of them in existance.

Anyone know what these have been sold for recently?

IMPORTANT:

Anyone reading this that gets excited about the rare 'New Pence' 2p, please see this page, and don't email me to ask!

Their value is rather uncertain, CC2002 says anything between £250 and £1500. Btw, well done Chris! I bet you are the only dealer with one of those!

No I think there are probably lots of dealers that have them.

I would show you a picture Jmd, but as the Reverse is just like the normal 2p before 1981, and the Obverse is exactly like the 1971-84 2p I thought it pretty pointless.

It is definately a sure investment for the future! Or were you planning to sell it immediately Chris?
