US EditionBeatrix Potter 50p coin listed for £25,000 due to tiny error
- A coin collector in Norfolk listed a 2017 Peter Rabbit 50p coin on eBay for £25,086.72, plus £8.95 postage, due to a small error.
- The Peter Rabbit 50p coins, of which almost 20 million were produced by the Royal Mint in 2017, were part of a series commemorating Beatrix Potter.
- The specific error is a "lump of metal" attached to the character's foot, a detail not found on other Peter Rabbit 50p coins.
- The seller believes the coin's imperfection makes it worth significantly more than its face value, although regular Peter Rabbit 50p coins are not considered rare and are generally worth only a few pounds.
- In a similar case, UKCoinHunt urged the public to look for a 2017 Sir Isaac Newton 50p coin with a "die clash error," potentially worth more than its face value, while the Royal Mint highlighted Newton's historical impact on Britain's monetary system.
