Brits urged to check their wallets and piggy banks for 'egg error' coins that could be worth hundreds
Sep 26, 2024 at 11:51 am
Misprinted “egg error” coins, which could be £1 or £2 coins, can fetch up to £600 when sold to collectors.
Keep an eye out for misprinted “egg error” coins, which could be £1 or £2 coins, that can fetch up to £600 when sold to collectors.
The coins do not need to be from a specific year but only apply to £1 and £2 coins still in circulation. They are known as “egg errors” because of the way the gold outer circle of the coin “leaks” into the usually silver-coloured centre.
In a TikTok video uploaded by the Coin Collector UK, which specialises in rare UK coins, he detailed what to look for. Speaking to his more than 130,000 followers, he said: “Egg error coins are extremely rare and valuable.
“They can be found on one pound and two pound coins in your change, but they are very hard to come across. It's called an egg error because the coin looks like a fried egg.
“The outer gold part has leaked into the inner silver or vice versa. Collectors who specialise in errors will pay hundreds of pounds to get their hands on these rare pieces.”
He revealed that two egg error coins recently sold for more than £100 each. “These were regular definitive designs,” the expert said.
However, if you find an egg error in a coin that is rare to begin with, it could be worth even more. He continued: “Commemorative egg errors sell for even more money.
“Here's a Mayflower one which was only released in collector sets. It sold a few years ago for a crazy price of £600. That's 300 times its face value.
“So, next time you get given a bimetallic coin in your change, always check it for this extremely rare and valuable error.”
