It's hardly surprising that certain rare coins exist which could 'help you retire early' while still in general circulation. Typically determined by production numbers, quality or even manufacturing errors, particular coins are certainly worth keeping an eye out for.

Recently, Instagram user @CoinCollectingWizard, who has amassed 35,200 followers on his platform dedicated to sharing advice about coins and banknotes, highlighted a highly coveted two pence piece that can fetch a staggering sum, though only if it displays one obscure error on its face – so might you possess it? The coin concerned is the 1983 2p bearing the inscription 'New Pence'.

He explained in his video: "This 2p coin can be worth £1,000. If you own this coin from 1983 you can sell it for £1,000 today."
