A coin expert has highlighted that certain 2p coins could be worth up to £1,000. These coins must have "New Pence" on the front and the date 1983 on the back. The Royal Mint mistakenly minted a limited number of these coins in 1983. It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 of these special coins exist. The average auction price for these rare 2p coins ranges from £800 to £1,000. The expert suggests selling them at auction if found.
