1983 2 Pence - New Pence

[Jasper Hunt 0]

In 1983 a two pence coin was minted that incorrectly had new pence printed on the reverse side of the coin.

I have found a coin which is the same as this but it is dated 1980.... Could anybody enlighten me into its history and any infomation about it, as i would like to find out how much it is worth.. Thankyou, and i am sorry that i do not have a picture of the item.. Would be very thankful if people could get back to me asap!

UK bronze pennies you have are unlikely to have any significant value unless they have seen little circulation, what dates have you?
