Undated 20 Pence Mule (2008) PCGS AU58

I don’t often go buying things that I don’t deal in, but when I stumbled on the undated twenty pence mule from the UK last time I was over there, I couldn’t resist. Unlike the famous Australian 2000 one dollar/ten cent mule, the twenty pence mule, struck in 2008, is somewhat more common—although I’m quite certain that grade-conscious collectors will have trouble tracking down a superior example. This error coin was minted by accident by the Royal Mint, Llantrisant, Wales, when the undated obverse die of an old twenty pence design was muled with the undated reverse die of the new (and current) twenty pence design. The result was what is apparently the first undated currency issue coin struck by the Royal Mint in hundreds of years. If you collect Australian one dollar mules, or enjoy unusual coins, why not pick up this twenty pence mule, too. It’s an interesting coin that, to this day, remains popular with English decimal coin collectors. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading.
