Ben Mason sold the rare coin after he received it with his change
A lucky seller is encouraging people to check their pockets after selling a rare £2 he got from the shops for more than £200.
The coin is often touted as one of the Isle of Man's most sought-after coins. It was minted to commemorate the fourth Commonwealth Youth Games on behalf of the Isle of Man Treasury - this adds to its rarity due to the typically low mintage figure of British Isles coins. After listing the coin on eBay for auction, it took a while for people to catch on and Ben believed it wasn't going to sell. However, when the listing had one hour left, it suddenly began pulling in bids starting at £100.
Sharing the news of the auction on his TikTok page, benmason_official_2, Ben showed what other sellers are listing the same coin for on eBay, with one seller listing it at £449.95.
