Rare coins: The valuable pre-decimal penny that could be hiding in your pocket
Oct 23, 2024 at 08:00 am
TIKTOK user @CoinCollectingWizard, who boasts 206k followers, shared a clip which starts off with someone cleaning a pre-decimal penny from 1899
TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, who has 206,000 followers, regularly shares clips about rare coins and their value.
In his latest video, he showcased two pre-decimal pennies which could be hiding in your spare change and revealed how they can sell for a small fortune at auction or on eBay.
He started off the clip with someone cleaning a pre-decimal penny from 1899, a practice you should never do as it could damage the coin.
Discussing the coin in detail, he said: "Here we have the 1894 pre-decimal penny and this was actually the last pre-decimal penny to feature a young head of Queen Victoria or otherwise known as Bun Head.
"As you can see, the obverse features the bust of Victoria facing left hair in a bun."
He went on to discuss Queen Victoria, revealing how she was the longest reigning British monarch at 64 years until Elizabeth II in 2015.
He added: "The reverse shows the helmed Britannia seated facing right, holding a trident, hand resting on a shield with the date below.
"The 1894 penny in extra fine condition easily sells for over £160."
Then turning his attention to a second coin, the user explained: "This is the 1882 H penny from the United Kingdom.
"Unlike other varieties, the H mint mark on this penny is found underneath the date rather than to the left. The H is very small so make sure you use a microscope as it can get very worn too.
"On the obverse is the young head of Queen Victoria.
"[Meanwhile] on the reverse side of the coin is Britannia seated next to a shield and holding an almighty trident.
"The 1882 with a H mint mark is very valuable and has been seen to sell for £280."
The video has been liked numerous times since it was shared.
Out of the comments, one said: "Another informative video, thanks."
While another chimed in: "I have four of this coin."
In other rare coin stories, an old rare penny worth a staggering £150,000 sent collectors wild.
But in order to bag a fortune, you'll need to find the kind which features certain detail.
