Rare coins can be a real treasure trove, especially those with minting errors. Recently, a rare penny sold for a staggering £140,000, showing that even seemingly ordinary coins can hold immense value. Now, the focus is on £2 coins, and one collector believes that three specific designs could be worth a small fortune.
TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, with a following of 174,100, regularly shares insights on special coin finds. In a recent video, he highlighted three £2 coins that collectors should be on the lookout for, stating that some of them could be worth thousands.
The first coin to catch his attention is the 2014 coin commemorating the 100th anniversary of the First World War. The error version is missing the words ‘Two Pounds’ from the side, making it particularly valuable. This rare coin is estimated to be worth £1,000 or more.
Another sought-after coin, also from 2014, features a quirky ‘fried egg’ design. Due to a minting mishap, the center of the coin spilled into the outer rim, creating a unique and rare appearance. This error could net owners upwards of £600.
Finally, there’s a £2 coin with incorrect lettering on its face, also from 2014. This minting error, though less dramatic than the others, could still increase the coin’s value to around £30.
Since the revelation, social media has been abuzz with excitement, with users sharing their own coin discoveries and expressing their appreciation for the information. So, be sure to check your pockets – you might just have a hidden treasure stashed away!
