The term "face value" quite literally means the value of a coin that's inscribed on it, so the face value of a 10p coin is just that, 10 pence.

In addition, it's a common circulating coin in the U.K. so it has no collector value.

To illustrate the difference, there is a particular variety of Lincoln cent from 1909 called an "S VDB" cent because it was minted in San Francisco ("S") and has the designer's initials (VDB) on the back. Its face value is what it always was, one cent. However it's very rare and its collector value can be as high as $78,000! That's a lot of pennies.

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.


Why on a 1979 two pence coin does it say new pence 10?

Occasionally, the Royal mint has a mix up with the dies or the blanks used to produce coins. It is possible that the 10 New Pence dies were used on a 2 New Pence blank. If this is the case, part of the 10 Pence coin design will be outside the perimeter of the 2 Pence blank, the 10 Pence coin being slightly larger than the 2 Pence coin. Alternatively, you may have a trick coin available from magic shops.
