An expert has urged Brits to look out for three coins that combined could be worth far more than their face value. Combined these highly-sought after pieces could sell for more than £3,000 to collectors. Speaking on social media platform TikTok, an expert known as the Coin Collecting Wizard said: “You could become rich if you have any of these coins in your pocket. Come dive in this video with me and let me show you why.”.
He first informed people to look for a £2 coin from 2014. It features an image of Lord Kitchener, to commemorate 100 years since the start of the First World War. However, the regular coin with this image isn’t worth much. You need to find a particular error to make it valuable.
He said: “First up, we have this £2 coin from 2014. This is known as the Lord Kitchener coin but it isn't the regular one you need to look for.”. The error needed is having the phrase “two pounds” missing from the tails side of the coin. This makes it worth around £1,000.
The Coin Collecting Wizard continued: “There's an error version that doesn't have the denomination of ‘two pounds’ on the obverse worth around £1,000 pounds. Here is an example of the error and as you can see, there is no mention of ‘two pounds’ on the coin.” Next he told people to look for a 50p coin that was created in celebration of the 2012 London Olympics. It features an image of a high jump athlete that was selected via a Blue Peter competition.
