Brits are being urged to rummage through their lofts for a rare coin that could be worth a fortune. Specific specimens of this currency might achieve values reaching £100,000, according to a specialist. ‌

A social media user known as Coin Collecting Wizard shared a video on TikTok, disclosing that a mint-condition halfpenny from a certain year "recently auctioned for big money". ‌

As reported by Express.co.uk , the pre-decimal halfpenny, sometimes called a ha'penny, was worth half of an old penny. Originally minted in copper and later in bronze, it was removed from circulation in July 1969. ‌

The Coin Collecting Wizard indicates that specific halfpennies will fetch considerably more than their face value, based on their minting year and condition. He
