Without a photo uk, it's difficult to tell you much.

Coins can be dis/mis/coloured for a number of reasons. They may have been left in a pocket when clothes went in the wash. Someone may have played with it using some household chemicals. Sometimes coins are even struck from the 'wrong' metal at the mint.

However in most cases it will be one of the former causes and the coin won't be worth anything more than usual. If it's a mint error it may be worth something. But not enough to give up the day job I'm afraid!

There is a note on posting a photo here: http://www.predecimal.com/forum/topic/7880-posting-pics/

Oh, and welcome to predecimal. As you might have guessed, we get asked questions about odd looking coins quite a lot. A photo might help get you a more detailed answer.

The 20p can often tone to a golden colour, I find. This happens a lot less on the other silver coloured coins because the alloy used for the 20p contains a higher % of copper.

I agree - 20p!
