A coin expert has shared the one 50p coin that can get you 'crazy money' if you find it – and revealed how you can differentiate the item from other coins
TikTok rare coins expert @thecoincollectorUK explained the coin can be worth as much as £850 if it was minted in 1972. The coin is worth so much because only about 1,000 of them were made that year.
"So you'll notice this is quite an old coin from 1972, just a few years after the 50p was released, and for that reason it's 30mm – one of the large, old-style 50ps," @thecoincollectorUK explained. "It goes for crazy money, £750 to £850 in uncirculated condition. And even in circulated condition, found in your change, £500 to £600."
