Could your old coin be worth more than its face value?

Funnily enough, age doesn't tend to be the main factor that makes a coin valuable. Rarity is. Some ordinary looking coins or pennies have been minted in small numbers or all in the same year. Others carry genuine minting errors like a missing mark or metal that doesn't match the origin year - send it to the Vintage team to find out more.

Expert insight from Nick Mellors (Coins & Currency specialist):

At Vintage we use a specialist XRF gun (X-ray fluorescence) gun to test metal composition, this particularly matters for metals pre-dating the 1920s as they don't tend to have hallmarks.
