It's worth checking to see if you have any as it could get you as much as £250 if a collector is after them 👀
Over the last few months, people across Glasgow have been selling their coins well over face value, with one 'rare' 50p Brexit coin' reportedly selling for as much as £10,000.
How to sell your coins and why you should get it verified by the Royal Mint Rachel Hooper, Product Group Manager for Change Checker has been working in the industry for five years, specialising in UK new issue coins and championing the hobby of change collecting. However, before you think about selling, it is advised that you first get it verified with Rachel explaining: "If you do think you've come across a rare coin, you probably want to get that verified by the Royal Mint because you're always likely to be able to get a better price for your coin if you have that certificate of authenticity that would explain what the error is."
"There's also the British Numismatic Trade Association and they have listed of dealers on there. So if you have lot of coins, perhaps you didn't want to have to go through each individual one, you could talk to one of the dealers they'll be able to get a price together for you or just advise you on the best places to sell that. So it's always a good idea if you did have a bigger bulk number of coins to sell, go and talk to a dealer there and they can give you some advice.
Speaking about their six-point guide, Rachel has said it's worth looking into to help you get to grips with everything you need to make and informed decision on how you can value your coins "because there is nothing more exciting when you find a different coin in your change and you want to figure out how much it's worth and whether it's a collectible."
"The Beatrix Potter are actually a lot rarer than first considered so they're definitely ones to look out for. Not only are they rare because of the mintage figure but because of the collecting theme around Beatrix Potter. They've almost inspired a new generation of collectors to come and join the hobby because of the Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit theme.
