If you're a coin collector, or just have a big jar of change sitting around, pay attention... TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard, who has over 258,000 followers, shared some expertise that's got collectors in a frenzy. In a previous video, the coin enthusiast asked: "Do you remember any of these old British coins? Some are rare and valuable."

He then disclosed a catalogue of six coins worth hunting for. Leading the pack is the 1924 Florin or two shillings, which can fetch up to £65 in good condition or a staggering £145 if uncirculated. The video resurfaced as Brits told look for two 'rarest' 50p coins in circulation worth £230.

He went on, revealing the 1949 Brass 3p's scarcity due to its limited minting of just 464,000, mentioning one recently sold for nearly £500 in fine condition.

The 1925 Florin also earned a spot, priced at roughly £40 in good condition, with the price rocketing beyond £500 when uncirculated, owing to its limited mintage of just over a million.

The content creator wasn't finished there as the fourth coin highlighted was the elusive 1869 penny, which could be worth a staggering £5,000 if discovered in decent condition - a detail not commonly recognised amongst the general public.

And we mustn't overlook the 1905 half crown, described as one of the "rarest half coins to ever be minted" with merely 160,000 in circulation.

"This can fetch anywhere between £450 and £10,000" he explained. "And finally, let's slip this 1933 penny in there because if you are lucky enough to find this coin, then you are guaranteed at least £200,000."

Since he posted the video, the content has gained hundreds of likes and comments. While countless users flooded the comments section revealing they owned one of the coins, another asked: "Is a 1957 3p worth anything?" Meanwhile, a third commented: "I have over 100."
