A British 1987 Twenty Pence coin, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition would fetch little more than face value. A British 1987 Twenty Pence coin (Proof FDC), could fetch up to £2 GBP. Any coin with a genuine minting flaw or defect could be worth substantially more. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

∙ 13y agoAny coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.
Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.
A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.

What is a British 1 Penny coin made from and is it magnetic?
No British coin is magnetic. Coins made from steel can be attracted to a magnet. From 1968 to 2011, the British 10 Pence coin was made from a copper-nickel alloy and therefore have no magnetic properties, copper and nickel both being non-ferrous metals. From late 2011, the British 10 Pence coin is made from nickel plated steel which has some magnetic properties similar to the 1 Penny and 2 Pence coins issued from 1992. The move towards coins made from steel is an effort by many countries to reduce the cost of manufacturing coins. Also, the coins are much more durable, even if the plating is not, and may extend the life expectancy of coins well beyond 50 years.
