Brits are being urged to examine their spare change for four coins that, when featuring specific errors, could be worth more than £1,000 in total. An expert known as the Coin Collecting Wizard shared the details in a TikTok video, highlighting rare variations that collectors seek.
The first coin is a 2015 £2 piece with a rotation error. On the reverse, the Queen's portrait may appear upside down relative to the date. The expert advised a simple twist test to check alignment, estimating the coin could fetch £30 or more.
Next, a 2008 20p coin with no date is sought after. Fewer than 250,000 of the 136 million minted that year were undated, making them worth around £50. The expert also noted a Benjamin Bunny 50p with a rotation error, valued at £35-plus.
The most valuable coin is a 2014 £2 Lord Kitchener issue missing the words 'two pounds' on the obverse. The expert stated this rare error can sell for over £1,000.
