The rare Royal Mint £1 coin worth for more than £100

On Sunday a 2017 round £1 coin sold online for £112.08 plus £3.42 postage, fetching 112 times its shop value from an unnamed seller to a winning bidder.
An unnamed seller said they `Found in my change a few years ago` and listed the coin as a `rare collectable`, noting it contains the rare `fried egg` minting error where the inner disk appears to leak out like a runny yolk.
The round £1 was thicker and its yellow colour made it visually distinct among coins, while coin condition and selling routes influence final market prices.
Design variations have created collector interest, as coin collectors prioritise rarity and mintage figures when bidding on event-themed issues.
Historically, the £1 coin was first issued in April 1983 and redesigned in 2017, framing why collectors seek variants, while the 50 pence piece remains the UK's most collected coin.
