Rare coins have been making headlines lately, especially those with minting errors. A rare 1p coin recently sold for a whopping £140,000, serving as a reminder that hidden treasures might be lurking in your personal collection. But what about £2 coins?
According to one enthusiast, there are three specific designs of £2 coins that could be worth “thousands”. In a recent discovery, a 2014 coin was found to have a minting error on its face with an incorrect inscription, making it a rarity that could fetch upwards of £30. The expert advised that coins from 2016 with the wrong inscription for King and country could sell for around £30 as well.
The news of these valuable coins has been causing a stir on social media, with many expressing excitement and gratitude for the information. TikTok’s @CoinCollectingWizard, who has over 174,100 followers, has been sharing tips on special finds to look out for. In a recent video, he highlighted the 2014 £2 coin that commemorates the 100th year anniversary of the First World War, pointing out that the error version is missing the words ‘Two Pounds’ from the side and could be worth £1,000+.
Collectors are also buzzing about a misprinted £2 coin that has been nicknamed the “fried egg” due to its design error, which makes the middle look spilt across the outer rim. This unique coin has caught the attention of many in the collecting world.
So, if you have any £2 coins lying around, it might be worth taking a closer look to see if you have any valuable treasures in your possession. Who knows, you might just have a rare coin worth thousands of pounds sitting right in your pocket!
