An old 1-penny coin has made a man a millionaire after he sold the rare piece at an auction.
A very rare 1933 pre-decimal 1 Penny coin has sold at an auction for an astronomical amount, 140,000 pounds, according to a TikTok user. This is one such story where a single sale of a certain coin can make some collectors get excited to check their collections.
He explained in a recent TikTok to 172,700 followers: "This is my private collection, one that's been loaned to me very kindly. It's great because it's such an iconic coin; we get lots of visitors coming to see it."
He added, "Usually these coins disappear into safes and never seen again. The last sold in 2016 for a hammer price of around 140,000 pounds. Its first ones had sold for many many years and one would imagine if it would come on the market again it would sell for even higher."
