Overview
- A TikTok specialist known as the Coin Collecting Wizard flagged five out-of-circulation pieces: the 1905 half crown, 1949 brass threepence, 1853 fourpence (groat), 1851 shilling, and 1869 penny.
- The 1905 half crown was reported with a mintage of 166,008 and an estimated sale range of £450 to £10,000.
- The 1853 groat was cited at 11,800 minted with an estimated £230 to £2,000 value, while the 1851 shilling was put at 470,000 minted and £100 to £2,000.
- The 1949 brass threepence was listed at 464,000 minted with a £9 to £700 range, and the 1869 penny was described as very sought after with unknown mintage and about £25 to £5,000.
- Outlets stressed that scarcity and preservation drive pricing, and that actual sale results can vary widely from these estimates.
