IT'S always worth checking through your loose change just in case a rare coin that could land you a windfall is lurking in your wallet. One coin to look out for is a rare 10p piece with an unusual spider detail that is worth a whopping sixty times its face value.

The coin is part of the valuable A to Z collection. The commemorative coins were created by the Royal Mint in 2018 and re-released in 2019. The 26-piece set includes one coin for each letter of the alphabet, exploring a number of themes, from cricket to James Bond.

Just 304,000 of each of the A-Z 10p coins are in circulation, making them some of the most sought-after coins out there. And many collectors are desperate to get hold of the whole set and complete the alphabet. The W coin, which shows a spider web to indicate the World Wide Web, is one of the most sought after of the collection.

It has the lowest mintage figure of any of the alphabet coins, with just 63,000 released. The increasing value was revealed by Change Checker when it unveiled its new eBay Tracker, which takes the last nine sold prices on eBay and gives the median price achieved.

It valued the coin at £6, almost 60 times its face value, and a £1.50 increase on its price tag in June 2024. Change Checker said: "The A-Z of Great Britain 10p series was first issued in 2018, with a 10p representing something quintessentially British for each letter of the alphabet.
