People are being urged to check their spare change for rare penny coins that could be worth a combined £206,000. An expert known as the Coin Collecting Wizard shared a list of valuable UK pennies highly sought after by collectors.
In a TikTok video, the expert highlighted several coins featuring Britannia on the reverse, each with potential auction values. The most elusive coin on his list is worth an incredible £200,000.
One of the rarest is the 1933 penny, of which only six or seven were minted. The Coin Collecting Wizard said this coin is worth over £2,000. According to the Royal Mint Museum, no precise record exists of how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than six or seven.
An example of the 1933 penny sold at auction in 2016 for £127,000, as reported by Antiques Trade Gazette. The expert cautioned that value depends on the date and condition of the coin.
