This was on the news the other day; there is a batch of them and the rarity of the lack of date stamp makes them worth about £50.

I'd like to see the provenence for this one being the 'first' of that batch!

Found another one on there for 1.5 million!

This one has some good questions aimed at the seller.

To claim £50 for them you had to be in the first 10,000 to register. I was in the 9000s when I registered on Thursday.

The seller in the second link is a crafty bugger. It's the old coin, which as he has correctly worded, doesn't indeed have a date on the Queen's head side, but on the 'tails' side. I can see idiots falling for that, sadly.
