The news came to light when collectable coin firm, the London Mint Office, offered £50 for any finders who chose to send the coin on to them.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.totallymoney.com/news/index.php/2009/07/ebay-frenzy-as-undated-20p-sells-for-8k/"><P>But since then, a bidding war has erupted  on auction site eBay, with some collectors willing to pay thousands of pounds to get their hands of the rare ‘mule’ coins.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.totallymoney.com/news/index.php/2009/07/ebay-frenzy-as-undated-20p-sells-for-8k/"><P>Now, one lucky finder as ‘7588oliver’ has just bagged himself £8,000. The coin was listed with a starting price of £4,000 at 8pm on Monday evening. By 2pm the following day, an unidentified bidder stepped in to scoop the coin for the ‘Buy it Now’ price of £8,000.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E47A605A-AE62-4FB8-B832-FDED6ACA8662/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
