Check your change UK people. If you have one of these coins with no date the mint will give you £50 for it. I've found 1 in my change jar!

Ebay is going nuts since the news hit. One went for over 4 grand! Some images of auctions.

Yeah I read this earlier (well on the guardian site, but anyway) and thought I found one but it was a lie, didn't realised they put the date on the other side of the coin for those coins (cus they are normally the opposite side of the queens head).

Fucking grats on finding one - I would say keep it for a while, the word is that they are gonna go up in price.

edit: actually fuck it, I'd ebay it now; probably the fad of it all is pushing the prices up for 'em
