'Check your change' - The 50p coin worth a small fortune and how to spot
Briefly

A coin expert alerted collectors about a minting error on some Sir Isaac Newton 50p coins that could increase their value significantly. This 50p coin was released in 2017, featuring elements from Newton's work in his 'Principia Mathematica.' The error, known as a die clash, leaves marks resembling parallel lines on the coin. It’s suggested that collectors scrutinize their coins to identify this rare anomaly. Newton's role in the Mint was crucial during a period of financial instability in Britain, influencing coin quality and standards.
The die clash error on a limited number of commemorative Sir Isaac Newton 50p coins could make collectors a significant profit; keep an eye out for it.
The expert highlighted that the error represents a rare minting mistake, showing two parallel lines on the coin's surface near the Queen's neck.
