Rare 2p coin with \'minting error\' could be lurking in your pocket - and it\'s \'rising in value\'

According to TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, this specific piece is "rising in value" and could currently go for £1,000 if you decide to sell.

A rare 2p coin could be lurking in your pocket and it's now said to be 'rising in value'.

If you manage to find this specific piece, then you could be set to earn up to £1,000 if you decide to sell.

According to TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, there's a minting error on this coin which makes it highly sought after. But there's a specific place where you can find this coin easily.

In a recent video, the coin collector explained what you need to do.

He said: "After the design changed from New Pence to Two Pence in 1982, a mistake was made during a production of a small number of 1983 coins.

"These coins were actually struck with the old inscription 'New Pence', so what you are looking for is any 1983 2p coins.

"And if it says New Pence on the reverse of the words Two Pence, then you have found it.

"If you are lucky enough to find a 1983 New Pence 2p in your change, then it is worth around £1,000."

The TikTok user claimed it can be found in the 1983 Royal Mint set as that's where the "mistake happened".

He added: "These have been found and were at one point around £400, so it looks like this coin is rising in value.

"Just remember you are looking for a 2p coin dated 1983 with the words 'New Pence', do you have this coin?"

Since the video was posted this week, it racked up over 500 likes and plenty of comments.

One person said: "Great coin," while another fan commented: "Got this one."

And a third chimed in: "Wahooo this is great, thanks!"
