How to check if you have a\u00a0rare and valuable banknote<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
We've rounded up six of the rarest 10p coins and checked how much they're selling for so you can find out what you might fetch for them.<\/p>\n
Some which are uncirculated are in mint condition and often sell for more than their circulated counterparts.<\/p>\n
However, it's worth remembering that a coin is really only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.<\/p>\n
That means the prices we have won't necessarily reflect what you are offered.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Z for Zebra Crossing 10p – \u00a37<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2021-02-20-at-15.57.26.png\")
<\/p>\n
Royal Mint released this coin to celebrate James Callaghan\u2019s iconic black and white pedestrian crossing.<\/p>\n
They have also become iconic in British culture since featuring on the iconic cover of Beatles album Abbey Road.<\/p>\n
The Z for Zebra 10p last sold on eBay for \u00a37 although it has previously sold for \u00a337.<\/p>\n
There are 283,000 of these in circulation in total.<\/p>\n
W for World Wide Web 10p – \u00a36<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2021-02-20-at-15.57.03.png\")
<\/p>\n
Celebrating Brit Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the internet, this W for World Wide Web 10p features a spiderweb design.<\/p>\n
Though it's not quite clear how the design actually relates to the internet, we've seen these coins going for \u00a326 – though prices at the moment have dropped considerably. The highest price that someone recently paid for this coin on eBay was \u00a36.<\/p>\n
There have been 283,000 of these coins minted over the past four years.<\/p>\n
Y for Yeoman Warder 10p – \u00a38<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2021-02-20-at-15.56.52.png\")
<\/p>\n
This coin features a yeoman warder on the tails side to celebrate the ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London who protect the British Crown Jewels.<\/p>\n
It is third highest on the Change Checker scarcity list.<\/p>\n
The highest recent selling price we could find on eBay for a 2019 Y for Yeoman 10p coin was \u00a38 but the last time we checked a couple of months ago one sold for \u00a330.<\/p>\n
There are 283,000 of these coins in circulation in total.<\/p>\n
R for Robin 10p – \u00a37<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot-2021-02-20-at-15.57.33.png\")
<\/p>\n
Down two places on the scarcity index from August, the R for Robin coin still sells for more than the other 10p pieces on the market.<\/p>\n
R for Robin features a wintery, snowflake background with a robin sitting inside the letter R.<\/p>\n
That gives it extra appeal around Christmas time.<\/p>\n
We spotted a 2019 coin sold for \u00a315.99 on eBay in recent months, but the most recent one sold was for \u00a37.<\/p>\n
Still, there are more of these in circulation than Y for Yeoman Warder and Z for Zebra Crossing coins, with 284,000 in total.<\/p>\n
T is for Tea 10p – \u00a35<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/T-1.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
This 10p features a boiled traditional tea pot next to the letter \u2018T\u2019.<\/p>\n
It was created due to our nation's undeniable love for the drink.<\/p>\n
In 2018 220,000 were issued for circulation and 84,000 in 2019.<\/p>\n
Despite going up 19 places to fifth place this November, the coins won't fetch you much online. The most recent one sold on eBay for \u00a35<\/p>\n
J is for Jubilee 10p – \u00a36<\/h2>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gbch-silver-j.webp\")
<\/p>\n
Another coin that has come up the scarcity index is the Jubilee 10p which is now in sixth place.<\/p>\n
The coin was designed by Jody Clark in honour of the country's love of a Jubilee celebration.<\/p>\n
Whether its a party in the street or watching the event on the telly, Brits know how to make the occasion.<\/p>\n
The 10p was minted in 2018 with 220,000 being issued, a further 84,000 were issued in 2019. A couple of months ago this coin sold for \u00a340 but most recently has sold for \u00a36.<\/p>\n
What makes a coin more valuable?<\/h2>\n
Mintage figures affect the value of a coin. The lower the mintage, the more rare and valuable the coin is.<\/p>\n
However, Change Checker looks at how many collectors have acquired the coin, showing how easy it is to find.<\/p>\n
Experts also track how many times the design has been requested as a swap during the previous three months, showing them collector demand.<\/p>\n
While the index doesn't necessarily correspond to value, it is an effective indicator.<\/p>\n
What do I do if I have a rare coin and how do I find out how much it's worth?<\/h2>\n
One in every four old \u00a31 are thought to be fake according to The Royal Mint, meaning there could be a fake in your spare change.<\/p>\n
The Royal Mint can't value the coin but can confirm that it's genuine. They'll supply you with a letter to confirm this.<\/p>\n
Once you know if it's real you'll be able to sell it through a coin dealer, a specialist such as Change Checker, auction or eBay.<\/p>\n
You can look at eBay's recent sold prices to get an indicator of how much your coin usually goes for on the site.<\/p>\n
Search the full name of the coin, select the "sold" listing and then toggle the search to "highest value".<\/p>\n
You'll then have an idea of the amount of money that the coin is being sold for.<\/p>\n
We've updated our list of the\u00a0rarest and most valuable 50p pieces in circulation and it includes a list\u00a0of coins worth up to \u00a3895.<\/p>\n
