Overview

  • A Coin Collecting Wizard TikTok post identifies a 1905 half-crown, 1933 penny and 1983 'new pence' two-pence piece as top collector targets
  • Only 166,008 half-crowns bearing Edward VII were struck in 1905, with well-preserved examples valued between £450 and £10,000
  • The 1933 penny exists in just six or seven specimens and can command around £100,000 thanks to its extreme scarcity
  • A Royal Mint inscription change in 1983 produced a limited number of 'new pence' 2p coins that now fetch over £1,000
  • Collectors are advised to check old coin jars and everyday change for these legal-tender rarities
