Brian Krassenstein Knows About Investing

July 1st, 2009

Brian Krassenstein knows a thing or two about investing. He’s into stocks, buying and selling domain names, and several other avenues of turning a profit. His interest is now focussed on finding rare 20 pence pieces, which were produced in the UK by the Royal Mint. These particular coins were minted very recently, but were found to be missing the year, 2009.  Between 50,000 to 200,000 of these coins were put into circulation. They are now worth around £50 each, but who knows what they’ll fetch in years to come. The last time the Mint made a major error was back in 1983, when some 2 pence coins were made that had ‘new pence’ instead of ‘two pence’ on them. They sell now for around £200 each. A nice profit for someone.
