WHAT could be mistaken as pocket change might actually be worth a whopping £130k.
These three rare coins are a collectors dream and might be hiding down the back of your sofa.
Coin Collector UK is a rare coin guru who has put together a list of the three pieces of change that would upgrade your entire life.
In one of his TikTok videos he said: “You can take an early retirement if you find these coins.”
The first of the three is the highly sought after 1933 penny coin in which collectors are desperate to get their hands on.
He added: “One of these old pennies sold at auction for £127,000.
“The year you need to find is 1933 – less than 10 of these were ever produced.
“These are worth huge money with one selling for well over £100,000 pounds and another for about £86,000.”
While there are other dates to look out for, there are only seven 1933 coins known to exist.
It was once for a staggering £140k and the collector predicts the next one to be found could be sold for even more.
You would be able to trade it for a supercar if you manage to spot one of these coins.
The next rare find is the The Olympic Aquatics coin which can reach up to £2,000 due to its printing error.
There are thought to be 600 pieces of these 50p coins misprinted in 2011 ahead of the London celebrations with each being worth more than just a pretty penny.
These coins were printed with lines, mimicking water ripples, over the swimmers‘ head whereas her face was originally designed to be more visible.
The image was quickly changed when the Royal Mint modified the design, leaving only a few of these original coins in circulation.
This slight distortion has collectors battling over the limited edition piece, with one of the highest bidder spending £3,766 to take the precious coin home.
The final one is the most recently printed coin and its details are what makes so valuable.
It is a £2 coin from 2014 featuring Lord Kitchener – a British military leader.
He is easily recognised pointing in the military recruitment posters stating “Your country needs you.”
These coins can fetch up £800 – but only if it has this specific printing error.
Only a few of these have been found and one TikTok user called @thecoincollectoruk revealed what to look for.
In a TikTok video he stated: “If you find this £2 coin check it for an extremely rare error.
“The coin must lack the inscription “two pounds” on the Queen’s side, otherwise it’s just a regular £2 coin.”
Apparently there are over 5,700,000 of the regular £2 but only a handful of the misprinted ones.
