Do you have it in your possession?

In a recent video post, he detailed a UK penny from 1952, describing it as an "intriguing" proof coin that is the rarest in the entire series of copper and bronze pennies, reports the Mirror. The rare penny has a 1952 mark at the bottom.

He further commented: "The existence of this unique 1952 proof penny was not known publicly until its initial appearance at an auction in 1977, some 45 years after it was struck."

"The British world was astonished to see this coin appear and in proof quality as this was not known to exist. The 1952 proof penny remains an enigma as the only unique proof striking of a pre-decimal penny of the 20th century."

Delving deeper into the coin's history, he observed: "It is perhaps understandable that the George VI 1952 remains a unique piece as the King died very early in 1952, passing away on February 6. A lovely example went up for auction recently and sold for £200,000, so it is 100% a coin to look out for."

Since the video's recent release, it has attracted 500 likes and almost 120 comments. Comments from viewers include: "I have plenty of coins," "I have 1952."

And someone else noted: "I have a double-headed one."
