Coin experts are constantly urging Brits to check their collection – and there's a good reason why. Some rare coins can be worth an absolute fortune
A coin expert on TikTok has urged Brits to check their collection as one coin could be worth a staggering £150,000.
Coin enthusiasts are constantly being urged to check their collection as some coins can be worth an absolute fortune. Earlier this week, a new "error" found on a "very rare" coin hit headlines as it has a huge value, if you find it in your pockets.
On another occasion, people in the UK were urged to look for two rare £2 coins with one "error" valued at £1,000. Now TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard has delighted fans with another interesting clip showing an incredibly rare penny coin.
In a video with his 205,000 followers, the expert revealed: "Attention this coin is worth at least £150,000. This is the 1933 pre-decimal penny from the United Kingdom. Now obviously I don't have the coin, this is a fake copy version.
"Do you have this coin from 1933? If so you are rich." But don't get too excited as there are many similar coins which could have you thinking you're sitting on a fortune – when you're not. So to find this coin, make sure the date is 1933.
He continued: "But I guarantee you do not have this coin, how do I know? Because it's one of the rarest coins ever produced, there are other dates on those old pennies you might have though and some do hold a decent value.
"But it's never going to have the crazy value of the 1933 penny, as only seven are known to exist." He claimed how thousands of followers reach out to him daily claiming to own the coin, but they're forgetting to check the date.
To know which ones are worth the big bucks, make sure to look at the date, or you can reach out to the TikTok user who is willing to help. He concluded: "There are other dates to look out for, but obviously not as the same value as the 1933 penny."
The @CoinCollectingWizard finished the post by claiming some dates are still rare and valuable. Since the video was shared, it scooped nearly 1,000 likes and dozens of comments. One wrote: "You have my attention." While another said: "Has to be 1933!"
