Rare 2p coin which could be worth £1k spotted by TikTok user - here's how to spot the unique feature

A TikTok user known as @CoinCollectingWizard highlighted a specific 2p coin that could be worth a small fortune but you'll need to spot a unique feature.

A TikTok user has highlighted a specific two pence piece that could be worth a small fortune - but you'll need to spot a unique feature on the coin.

In his video, where he's seen sorting through coins, he explained: "Searching for the rare New Pence Two Pence coin because this is what we do.

"This is a 2p coin and after the design changed from New Pence to Two Pence in 1982, a mistake was made during production of a small number of 1983 coins.

"These coins were actually struck with the old inscription New Pence, while it's not known exactly how many of these error coins were struck, in 1983 2p coins were only struck for commemorative sets and not issued for circulation."

The TikTok user further claimed the affected coins were part of special souvenir sets that also weren't meant to enter general circulation.

However, if these sets were opened and spent, there's a slim chance you might find one in your pocket change.

Should you be one of the lucky few to come across a 1983 New Pence 2p coin, you could be sitting on around £1,000.

He passionately implored his 209,800 followers to mark their calendars for a specific date that could net them a tidy profit.

He wrapped up his advice with: "Remember it's the 1983 version of the coin which was struck and this is the one you should be looking for so search those 2p machines as you never know."

Following the video post, it quickly racked up 5,000 likes and numerous comments within a week.

One sceptic remarked: "Can't be rare, I have like three." Another was surprised, noting: "I have had some, I just thought they were normal."
