Anything could be valuable nowadays, especially rare coins.

In fact, without you even realising old coins could be the real money-makers if you ever decide to sell them. Usually eBay is a great place to flog your designs.

So now’s a good time to rummage through your coin stash as TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard recently revealed the coins that could “make you a millionaire”.

In a recent video, he highlighted six coins which could fetch a hefty sum. He explained: “1851 Florin or Two Pence Shilling piece with a very low mintage of just 1,500.”

He added: “This coin has an amazing value of £7,000 in top condition. As for the 1828 Six Pence, there was just over 15,000 of this coin ever made and in top condition is worth £500.

“Meanwhile, the 1851 Shilling has around 470,000 coins made with a value of around £700.” The coin enthusiast then went on to describe another valuable piece.

The TikTok user explained: “1841 Half Crown has a mintage of 42,000 with a top condition value of £5,000. Also the 1905 Half Crown from the UK has only 166,008 ever made.

“You can easily grab between £450 and £10,000 depending on the condition.”

Lastly, he mentioned the 1854 Four Pence, which had a “very low” mintage of 11,080. And even in poor condition, this coin could fetch £230 or £2,000.
