Is a British 5 Pence coin that is actually the exact size of the 10 Pence coin from 1988 rare?
If you have a 5 Pence coin that is the same diameter as a 1988 10 Pence coin, yes, it is rare. The largest 5 Pence coin was 1.5 mm smaller than the smallest 10 Pence coin. You may have a 5 Pence coin struck on a 10 Pence blank. Any 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.
