AN ULTRA rare 50p coin with a specific date that has sold for over £200 could be lurking in your spare change.
The Blue Peter 50p was minted for the 2012 London Olympics and depicts a high jumper in mid-flight.
The piece was designed by nine-year-old Florence Jackson in 2009 who won a competition run by the popular kids TV show.
Over 2.2million of the Blue Peter 50p coins were issued, with most minted in 2011.
However, 20,000 of the pieces were struck in 2009, which if found in your spare change could be worth a hefty sum.
You’ll know if you’ve got one of the rare 50ps if a 2009 date is printed on the edge of the heads side.
Posting about the coin recently on his account, TikTokker TheCoinCollectingWizard revealed how the coin has been known to sell in eBay online auctions for over £200.
He said: “Collectors are keen to get their hands on this piece of history and it’s nod to the classic children’s television show adds a personal stake to the value for many too.
“It helps when it comes with its original packaging that includes images of presenters from the hit show.”
It’s worth bearing in mind you might not get £200 if you stumble upon one of these rare 50ps.
What eBay buyers are willing to pay for a rare piece is based on the condition of the coin and packaging, or just how they feel that day.
However, auctions for the coin in recent months have seen it sell for over £200.
One, which received four bids, sold for £202 in January, while another bagged its owner £218 in December.
A coin is usually classed as rare if a limited amount were minted or an error occurred during the manufacturing process.
A low mintage figure, which is set by The Royal Mint, relates to how many of a coin were made.
Generally, the lower that figure, the more buyers are willing to pay for it because there are less in circulation.
These are the rarest 50p coins and the years they were first minted, according to The Royal Mint:
You can find out what coins are rare on The Royal Mint’s website.
The Change Checker website has scarcity indices too – these tell you how many of a particular coin were minted.
When it comes to error coins, how much you’ll get for them varies from piece to piece.
For example, the HG Wells £2 error coin has been known to sell for up to £1,000 in the past.
Bronze 20p coins have been known to sell for up to £750 as well while error £1 coins have been known to go for £1,000s.
You can sell a rare coin on eBay, Facebook, or at auction.
If you’re selling on Facebook, be wary of online scammer and try and pay in cash if you can.
The safest way to sell a rare coin is more than likely at auction. You can organise this with The Royal Mint’s Collectors Service.
It has a team of experts who can help you authenticate and value your coin.
You can get in touch via email and a member of the valuation team will get back to you.
If you’re selling on eBay, research how much the coin you have has sold for in previous auctions.
This will ensure you price the coin correctly and are more likely to attract a higher number of bidders.

VOLVO has unveiled its all-new ES90, the brand’s first-ever electric saloon that takes on competitors like the BMW i5.
The ES90 is notable for being the first electric saloon from the Swedish automaker – marking a shift away from its traditional SUV offerings.
With a range of up to 434 miles, it also positions itself as a major contender in the growing electric car market.
The ES90 is built on Volvo’s new SPA2 architecture and features 800-volt charging technology, a significant upgrade over previous models.
This allows for faster charging speeds, with the ability to add 186 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
The car comes with two battery options: an 88kWh version for the single-motor model, and a 102kWh battery for the twin-motor versions.
The range varies between 404 miles for the smaller battery and 434 miles for the larger one.
In terms of performance, the ES90 offers three powertrain configurations.
The base model comes with a 328bhp rear-wheel-drive setup, while the more powerful twin-motor versions deliver up to 671bhp.
The car can accelerate from 0-62mph in as little as 4.0 seconds for the high-performance variant, with a top speed of 112mph for all models.
The ES90 is also equipped with advanced computing technology, powered by dual Nvidia Orin processors.
This system is capable of handling 508 trillion operations per second, supporting Volvo’s latest active safety features and enabling future over-the-air updates.
The car’s software defined vehicle approach allows for continuous improvements to its systems, such as battery management and car sensors.
Designed for comfort, the ES90 features a dual-chamber air suspension and adaptive dampers, contributing to a smooth driving experience.
Volvo also claims that the cabin is the quietest ever produced by the brand, adding to the overall appeal of the new saloon.
With its advanced technology, impressive range, and sleek design, the ES90 represents a significant step forward for Volvo as it continues to expand its electric vehicle lineup.
The car’s high-tech features and long-range capabilities make it a serious rival to established competitors in the luxury electric vehicle market.
