Coin collectors have been urged to look out for a bronze 20p and an error £1 coin, as both are believed to be worth hundreds of pounds – here's how to find them in your pocket
It could be an indication of something quite extraordinary. Recently, rare coins have become a hot topic after a unique detail on a 50p coin made headlines.
According to TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, there are several coins you should keep an eye out for in your change. One design recently fetched £205 on eBay, while another is believed to be worth a whopping £750. Do you own any of these? He revealed: "This error £1 coin has had the design for the new £1 struck on an old £1 coin base. The error is believed to have occurred when the familiar round £1 was replaced with the new 12-sided coin in 2017. One recently sold on eBay for £205 in 2018."
"This happened after being struck onto the metal normally used for a 1p coin that had slipped into the wrong batch. This error has been confirmed by the Royal Mint as an extremely sought-after minting error.
