A new error £1 coin looks like it’s been released with three examples having been seen already by ChangeChecker – and they’re selling for hundreds.
This time it looks like the new £1 coin design has been stamped on one of the old £1 coin blanks.
The first one that came to light, sold for £205 on eBay after receiving 22 bids, a second is being sold at auction next month.
What to do if you find one
ChangChecker’s advice to someone who thinks they’ve found an example of this coin is to send the coin off to The Royal Mint Museum, which offers a free verification service .
Armed with this information, you should be able to get more value from it when selling either online or at a more traditional auction house.
