£1 coins with minting errors are selling for £200 - here's how to spot them

A batch of £1 coins with minting errors are currently in circulation and could be worth as much as £200 per coin.

The 12-sided coins featuring a golden border and silver centre have become commonplace since the original round gold coloured coins were replaced in October last year.

Today, however, a batch of the £1 coin's latest incarnation have been found to be completely gold in colour, devoid of a silver centre. The error appears to have occured when the new coin was stamped with an old £1 coin blank.

Up to £205

And now online collectors are looking to snap up the limited collection of coins.

According to coin collector website Change Checker, the flawed coins are going for up to £205 on Ebay.

Only a limited amount of coins appear to be in circulation with the first of the all-gold coins being spotted in January.
