Is it rare?
The 2008 'dateless round £1' (myth — does not exist) is common in circulation, so in worn condition it's usually worth face value — condition and errors are where any premium comes from.
What to look for
MYTH: there is no dateless round £1. The famous 2008 undated coin is the 20p — its date went missing only because in 2008 the 20p's date moved from the reverse to the obverse, and a batch paired old/new dies. The round £1's date sits on the obverse and was never affected. Any 'dateless £1' is a worn or altered coin, not a Royal Mint error.
