Sounds like the case of a very rare, IIRC, 1933 penny. In the 60s there was a chap who removed the last digit from some other 30s pennies and grafted a 3 onto them, his work was so good he fooled 3 dealers. He was caught because he sold 3 of them on the same day in the same town. It all came to light when dealer A called dealer B and said that he'd just manged to buy a rare 33 penny, dealer B replied me too, they contacted dealer C who confirmed that he had just bought one.  :o :o :o

Again, if IIRC it was in Blackpool.

"With a  batch of up to 100,000 20p pieces were shipped from the Royal Mint earlier this year without the 2009 date stamp."
Ain't worth it.  8) 8)

But getting hold of a cheap one and putting in ebay for 5mil might be.  ;D ;D
