Rare coin listed for £5million - but expert warns 'let's get one thing straight'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Whether you're a seasoned numismatist or just have a jar of change, rare coins could potentially make you a fortune. Recently, coin enthusiasts were buzzing over a scarce 50p piece, with only 200,000 in circulation, that's worth more than its face value. Now, the @CoinCollectingWizard, who has amassed an impressive following of 30,100 on Instagram, has debunked a myth about a 1971 penny believed to be worth a whopping £5million. In a comprehensive post, he warned collectors against misinformation suggesting this penny could hold a life-changing value. He stated: "1971 penny worth £5million!". You've probably seen the viral posts claiming that a 1971 1p coin is worth £5 million... but let's get one thing straight:". "It's NOT true. It's NOT rare. It's NOT valuable.", reports the Mirror. The coin enthusiast explained that around a million of these coins were minted as it was the first year of decimalisation in the UK. He added: "These coins are incredibly common and are worth exactly what it says on the tin: 1p." Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages In a final word of caution, the coin collector warned: "There are scammers and fake posts circulating online, especially on social media and dodgy websites, trying to convince people they've got a fortune in their pocket. "These are designed to trick you, either into handing over money, personal info, or just chasing fake dreams. Always double-check with reliable sources. If it sounds too good to be true... it probably is." The Royal Mint has revealed that a total of 1.5 million of these coins were minted in that year to replace the old 'pre-decimal' currency which was being phased out. According to the Britannia Coin Company, this is by far the largest annual mintage for 1p coins since decimalisation. Prior to this, all early decimal pennies bore the words 'NEW PENNY' on the reverse, including those dated 1971. However, from 1982 onwards, this was changed to 'ONE PENNY'. While it's still possible to find portcullis pennies in your change, they are becoming increasingly rare. This is due to The Royal Mint withdrawing old, worn coins in favour of newly minted ones. In other words, you'd be extremely fortunate to come across a penny coin dated 1971.

Rare coin collector warning over 1p coin 'worth £5 million'
Pennies, 20p coins and 50p coins regularly sell for multiple times their worth as keen coin collectors fight to get their hands on the rare currency. One person who is always quick to alert people to these gems is Coin Collecting Wizard, a keen coin collector who has more than 30,000 on Instagram. Usually, he will be flagging rare coins that you may potentially have in your wallet that could make a pretty profit. A post shared by CoinCollectingWizard🧙♂️ (@coincollectingwizard) However, the Coin Collecting Wizard recently took to Instagram to issue an important warning about a new rare coin scam that is circulating on social media. Viral posts have been widely shared that claim a 1p coin from 1971 could be worth as much as £5 million, but it is not true. The Coin Collecting Wizard explained: 'You've probably seen the viral posts claiming that a 1971 1p coin is worth £5 million… but let's get one thing straight: It's NOT true. It's NOT rare. It's NOT valuable. 'Millions of 1971 pennies were minted — it was the first year of decimalisation in the UK, so they made loads of them! 'These coins are incredibly common and are worth exactly what it says on the tin: 1p. 'Please be careful — there are scammers and fake posts circulating online, especially on social media and dodgy websites, trying to convince people they've got a fortune in their pocket. 'These are designed to trick you, either into handing over money, personal info, or just chasing fake dreams. 'Always double-check with reliable sources. If it sounds too good to be true… it probably is.' The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas. Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history. The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors. Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design. The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin's value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on eBay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer. Here is a list of the top 10 most valuable coins, when they were made and how many were minted:

Tesco shopper finds receipt from 27 years ago and is floored by prices
One woman went online to share a photo of a Tesco receipt from 1998. She was gobsmacked by the prices things were back then, however not everyone was that startled by the difference Many Brits are often left gobsmacked by the price of things in the supermarket these days, what with the pressures of the ongoing cost of living crisis. And one woman has shone a light about just how much prices have gone up in the last few decades after she found a picture of a Tesco receipt from 27 years ago. The woman, named Lauren, took to X to share the photo of the 1998 receipt, with it later making its way onto Facebook too. It showed that the shopper had got a total of 22 food and drink items for just £27.96 One item made up the bulk of the bill too, costing £10.99, however it was scribbled out on the receipt meaning people couldn't see what it actually was. The receipt revealed how much cheaper items were then, with cola costing 23p, compared to 80p for Tesco's own brand 2L bottle today. A box of Weetabix also came in at just 65p in comparison to £3.50 for a box of 24 now. Cooking oil was only 53p back then too, however it will cost you at least £1.99 for a bottle in Tesco these days, while a bunch of flowers would only set you back £1.66 27 years ago. Cat food was only 48p also, however the cheapest box you'll find in Tesco these days is £2.59. Captioning the snap, Lauren wrote: "Found a picture of a 27-year-old receipt which came to £27.96. "While I couldn't find every item on the Tesco website, I could definitely make educated guesses, so by my estimation this would case you £79.64 today." People were shocked by how cheap some items were as the post went viral – racking up more than 8,000 likes. One startled shopper exclaimed: "Weetabix is how much?" While another added: "Cooking oil 53p? Wow!" A third chimed in: "Ah, the golden years of 1998 Tesco shopping. They were the best of times... if only we know then. Peak civilisation." Someone else asked: "What's the 10.99 item?", as one person joked: "Probably a down payment for a house." Another person quipped: "Maybe a washing machine?" However, despite some people being shocked over the difference in costs, others pointed out that it was 'just inflation' and that the prices were from nearly 30 years ago.
