Strange that someone would remove one from the set and put it into circulation, but weird things do happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sibon Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 New 2p pieces are steel with a copper coating. It sounds like you've got one that has had the coating removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peak4 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I can remember in my schooldays turning copper coins silver in biology lessons, by dipping them in Millon's reagent. It was/is a reagent for testing for soluble proteins and made by dissolving mercury in nitric acid I wonder if it's still allowed in schools these days?

anywebsite Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 And that pic of 2p its different its like a 10p peic Is it an old 10p? They used to be a bit bigger than a 2p. Worth 10p if it is & if you want to try cashing it. Maybe it's a foreign coin. It'd be easier to guess if we had a picture. If it is actually solid silver, then it might be worth between 3 & 5 pounds, but that's unlikely. Silver coloured coins are only usually worth their face value. If it's a 2 shilling coin, then it's also worth 10p, unless it's from before 1947, they had some silver in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
