Overview

• A viral TikTok by the Coin Collecting Wizard highlights a 1933 George V penny, a 1983 ‘new pence’ 2p, an original‑design 2011 Aquatics 50p, and a gold‑proof Kew Gardens 50p.
• The Royal Mint notes that 1933 pennies are thought to number just six or seven, and news reports cite an example that sold for about £127,000 in 2016.
• The expert estimates the 1983 ‘new pence’ two pence at roughly £1,000-plus if found with the transitional inscription error.
• The original 2011 Aquatics 50p with water lines over the swimmer’s face is described as scarce, with an estimated value near £2,000.
• A gold‑proof Kew Gardens 50p recently sold for £6,800 in a Royal Mint online auction, exceeding a £5,000–£6,000 estimate.
