  • A first-edition 2011 Olympic aquatics 50p with water lines over the swimmer’s face is valued around £2,000.
  • A 2014 Lord Kitchener £2 missing the “two pounds” inscription on the obverse is a mule-error variant worth over £1,000.
  • Three rare 2016 £1 coins—including a “nations of the crown” issue with a tiny floral mark, a shield-design £1 coin and a misdated micro-engraving reading 2017—together can command over £500.
