Three uncommon £2 cash value ‘hundreds’ – with one being coined the ‘fried egg’

Rare coins are fetching hefty sums, especially those with minting errors. In recent months, a slew of valuable coins have sold for thousands above their nominal value.

A rare 1p coin bearing a “unique” date recently went under the hammer for an eye-watering £140,000. This serves as a reminder that your personal collection might contain hidden treasures. Now, onto £2 coins.

There are three specific designs which one enthusiast claims could be worth “thousands”. In another exciting discovery, a 2014 coin was found to have a minting error on its face with an incorrect inscription; such a rarity could command upwards of £30. The expert concluded his advice by saying: “If you have this coin from 2016, these coins have the wrong inscription for King and country. This normally sells for around £30.”

The news has caused quite a stir on social media, garnering hundreds of likes and comments since its revelation this week. One coin aficionado expressed their gratitude, posting: “Thanks for that skull one bro.”

In a recent video, he highlighted three £2 coins, stating: “Whip out those £2 coins, some of them are worth thousands.” He discussed the 2014 coin that commemorates the 100th year anniversary of the First World War, saying: “The error version is missing the words ‘Two Pounds’ from the side.”

“The 2014 coin was released nine years ago to mark 100 years since the start of WWI. It features an image of Lord Kitchener, a prominent British war figure who appeared on government propaganda posters. Only the version with the missing wording is worth £1,000+. while another excitedly revealed: “I have the same one. “Meanwhile, collectors are buzzing about a misprinted £2 coin that’s been dubbed the “fried egg” due to its resemblance caused by a design error which makes the middle look spilt across the outer rim.”
