Three coins that could make you rich if you find them down the back of the sofa
Jan 19, 2025 at 11:05 am
An expert has urged Brits to look out for three coins that combined could be worth far more than their face value
Three coins that could be sitting in your pocket and be worth far more than their face value have been revealed by an expert. Combined these highly-sought after pieces could sell for more than £3,000 to collectors.
Taking to 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 told viewers 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 viewers 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.
If you find one dated 2009 it is especially special and worth around £250.
“This is a 50 pence coin part of the 2012 Olympic set with many designs from that year that you can find in your change.
“But if you find this athletics coin with a date of 2009, instead of the usual 2011, then you have found a rare first edition of this coin that was part of a competition by Blue Peter. £250 pounds for this one.”
Finally he shared more about another Olympic coin that could be worth around £2,000.
He added: “Here is another 50 pence from the 2011 Olympic set, and is known as the aquatics 50p.”
This coin features the image of a person swimming. The original design, with waves appearing to pass over their face, is the one you want.
He said: “The original design of this coin had lines over the swimmer's face, just like this example below, until the Royal Mint changed the design, so the swimmer's face was more clear without the lines. If you are lucky enough to find this exact 50 pence, then you are now £2,000 happier.”
