Rare UK Coins Fetch Up to £8,000 on eBay

Several rare UK coins have recently drawn attention for their high market values, often significantly exceeding their face value. The 2016 Shakespeare £2 coin, particularly the Tragedies version with a minting error, could be worth over £120 due to an inscription mix-up. Additionally, a limited-edition Sherlock Holmes 50p coin from 2019 is listed for over £8,000, reflecting its rarity and unique design. Another notable coin is the 2008 Snowman 50p, selling for about £750, highlighting the demand for holiday-themed collectibles. The Kew Gardens 50p coin remains highly sought after, often selling for over £100, particularly after its recognition as the rarest coin in circulation. Collectors are advised to check their pockets and purses for these potentially valuable items, as minting errors and limited releases can greatly enhance a coin's worth.
