Anything could be valuable nowadays, especially rare coins.

In fact, without you even realising old coins could be the real money-makers if you ever decide to sell them. Usually eBay is a great place to flog your designs.

So now's a good time to rummage through your coin stash as TikTok user @CoinCollectingWizard recently revealed the coins that could "make you a millionaire".

In a recent video, he highlighted six coins which could fetch a hefty sum. He explained: "1851 Florin or Two Pence Shilling piece with a very low mintage of just 1,500."

He added: "This coin has an amazing value of £7,000 in top condition. As for the 1828 Six Pence, there was just over 15,000 of this coin ever made and in top condition is worth £500.

"Meanwhile, the 1851 Shilling has around 470,000 coins made with a value of around £700." The coin enthusiast then went on to describe another valuable piece.

The TikTok user explained: "1841 Half Crown has a mintage of 42,000 with a top condition value of £5,000. Also the 1905 Half Crown from the UK has only 166,008 ever made.

"You can easily grab between £450 and £10,000 depending on the condition."

Lastly, he mentioned the 1854 Four Pence, which had a "very low" mintage of 11,080. And even in poor condition, this coin could fetch £230 or £2,000.

Since the clip went viral, loads of users have been commenting. One said: "Wish I had some," and another chimed in with: "Great video."

Another savvy spotter noted: "And there are probably less now, with wear, loss and melted down for decimalisation."

This isn't the first time the expert spilled the beans on the most sought-after coins. He recently discussed the London 2012 Olympics piece which could fetch £2,000.

In recent news, certain rare coins have been highlighted as valuable investments that could potentially make collectors millions.

Among these prized pieces, coins like the 1851 Florin and the 1828 Six Pence are particularly rare, with values reaching up to £10,000 for well-preserved versions.

Another high-value example is the 1841 Half Crown, a coin of which only around 42,000 were minted, offering top-condition values up to £5,000.
