One great example is a 2p that sold for an astonishing £1,357, after it was found to b=have been minted using cupronickel - the silver metal alloy normally used to make 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins, and not the usual copper alloy.

In 1997, this little PRE-BAN rifle slid into home plate and was grandfathered in. Measuring 211mm by 133mm, it was the largest £5 ever, and was in circulation from 1945 to 1957.īut even the modern, polymer £5 can also be worth far more than its face value - provided it has something else that makes it valuable to a collector.
