Some rare coins are worth a few hundreds, while others can reach the thousands in value. Now the latest penny holds a hefty £62,000 price tag, but only if you own a specific kind
Some coins might be worth slightly more than face value, while others are hitting the thousands. In fact, just recently we saw an ultra-rare penny sell for an eye-watering £140,000.
"Well if you have this coin but the silver one, then you are now rich. The pre-decimal three pence was a unit of currency equalling one eightieth of a pound sterling or three pence sterling." "This three pence of 1949 does have a lower mintage and can fetch £20 plus today depending on condition. But there is a very rare three pence which could be worth thousands and it's the silver version dated 1945."
One said: "I have a box full," while another added: "My grandad had a full bag and drilled a hole in them all then used them as washers *laughing emoji*." If you think you own this coin, it's best to reach out to a professional.Mintage: This indicates the number of specific coins made. A lower mintage means the coin is rarer and therefore more valuable. You can find the mintage figures on the Royal Mint website.
