i'm with you, i'm a collector and if you sell it on this way it will be kept in circulation and will soon be worth a few bob as a part of british history... supose if it wasn't for people sending them back to be melted and restruck (thus wasting a wortwhile collectors item imo) then their value wouldn't be worth so much.

good luck with the sale.

What is the Mule 20p Piece Worth?
In July 2009, website TotallyMoney.com reported that an undated 20p had sold for £8,000 in an online auction, although online prices have since dropped as the market was subsequently flooded with the coins. Coin collecting agency The London Mint Office has offered finders a flat fee of £50 for the coins, but independent specialist coin dealer Richard Anderson told The Independent newspaper that the coin would likely be worth around £300. In an interview on June 30th he said: “If anybody finds one, they should just keep hold of them, because they will appreciate."

grab a bargain, keep it right and it will only increase in value... pity some settled for £100 for a return :thumbsup:

i saw a few of the new 50p's before xmas at work (there werent many around then),
looked on the royal mint website thinking it was something rare.

i was then informed via said website to "buy" the very same 50p that was in my hand would cost me £2.99.

confused.com so i was!

Think as long as the auction has more than either 12/24hours remaining you can cancel the bids and withdraw the auction...
