Rare coin released just two years ago sells for £70 after week-long bidding war – is one lingering in YOUR change?
Plus, we share easy tips to spot rare coins COINING IT Rare coin released just two years ago sells for £70 after week-long bidding war – is one lingering in YOUR change? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A RARE coin released just two years ago has sold for 140 times its face value after a week-long bidding war. The 2023 Atlantic Salmon 50p was sold for £72.09 to one lucky punter after fighting off offers from 26 other bidders. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The coin was sold for over £70 on eBay Only 200,000 of these coins have entered circulation, making it one of the rarest coins in the UK. And previous research by Change Checker found only around one in 335 people in the UK could have the chance of snagging one. To spot this coin look on the tails side of the piece for an Atlantic salmon leaping from the waves. The front features a portrait of King Charles III. And you could get more for than £72.09 for the valuable coin. In December last year, a seller paid £85 for the piece on eBay. More recently, in June, one punter paid £97 for the coin after beating 28 others in a bidding war. But a coin is only worth what bidders are willing to pay for it. In May, one buyer scooped up the coin for £47 after fighting off offers from 21 other bidders. Last month one seller managed to flog the coin for £61 after 11 bidders tried to get their hands on it. Olympic Aquatics 50p coin error The Atlantic Salmon 50p is not the only rare coin in circulation. The 2009 Blue Peter piece also recently sold for £180 after 21 bids. It was released in 2009 ahead of the London Olympic games in 2012. The coin features someone doing the high jump on one side, a design created by eight-year-old Florence Jackson from Bristol. The final design was chosen from over 17,000 entries as part of a Blue Peter competition. Elsewhere, the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p was recently sold £110. How to spot rare coins and banknotes Rare coins and notes hiding down the back of your sofa could sell for hundreds of pounds. If you are lucky enough to find a rare £10 note you might be able to sell it for multiple times its face value. You can spot rare notes by keeping an eye out for the serial numbers. These numbers can be found on the side with the Monarch's face, just under the value £10 in the corner of the note. Also, if you have a serial number on your note that is quite quirky, you could cash in thousands. For example, one seller bagged £3,600 after spotting a specific serial number relating to the year Jane Austen was born on one of their notes. You can check if your notes are worth anything on eBay, just tick "completed and sold items" and filter by the highest value. This will give you an idea of what people are willing to pay for some notes. But bear in mind that yours is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. This is also the case for coins, you can determine how rare your coin is by looking a the latest scarcity index.

Wilko's 49p buy will keep out creepy crawlies as UK's ‘biggest spider' believed to be hiding in homes
The largest UK spider was allegedly called after Cardinal Wolsey who was terrified by the sight of the spiders at Hampton Court HOME INVADERS Wilko's 49p buy will keep out creepy crawlies as UK's 'biggest spider' believed to be hiding in homes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NO ONE wants creepy crawlies invading their home but in the summer these little pests can slowly creep into your house. But we've got the perfect 49p buy that will keep out the UK's biggest spider that's believed to be hiding in your home. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The Cardinal Spider 3 The Cardinal spider is the largest spider in the UK Credit: Getty - Contributor The UK has 650 different species of spiders, and the largest among them is the cardinal spider. Cardinal spiders, known internationally as Tegenaria Parietina, have been recorded to grow up to 14cm. Typically found in buildings or on walls, there is due to be more sightings of them in the upcoming weeks. All spiders can bite – that's how most subdue and kill their prey. But the Cardinal's small fangs will only render mild discomfort in a human. So there is no need to be fearful of these creatures - even if you don't like the look of them. What are Cardinal Spiders? 3 Though the species is pretty rare in Europe, they're found more commonly in the south of England Credit: Getty - Contributor The spider was allegedly called after Cardinal Wolsey who was terrified by the sight of the spiders at Hampton Court. Though the species is pretty rare in Europe, they're found more commonly in the south of England. Most of them live in buildings or walls, and like all spiders living in houses, they can withstand very dry conditions and survive for months without sustenance. The females are larger and can grow to a body length of up to 20 mm while males measure up to 17 mm. Giant huntsman spider lurking in his bunch of Aldi bananas Typically reddish brown in colour, but young Cardinal spiders can be much lighter, so taking that into account with it's size - easy to spot! However, their legs are about three times longer in length. How to deter them from your home 3 Wilko are selling Marigold seeds for only 49p Credit: wilko If you're looking for ways to keep the little guys at bay, there are plenty of spider-repelling plants to choose from that can help keep them away from your windows, doors, nooks, and crannies. Evie Lane, gardening expert at Primrose, pointed out that most of the plants out there that spiders hate have strong smells which, while not appealing to creepy crawlies, should smell great to you. There's a reason why allotment keepers have been putting marigolds next to their vegetable plants for generations. And Wilko's has packets of Marigold Petite Mixed Seed Packet on sale for only 49p - so it's a cheap, chemical free solution. These bright, friendly plants repel a swathe of pests including spiders and snails, so they come in handy both inside the home and out. Other plants that also help keep them at bay are Chrysanthemums, Eucalyptus, Lavender and Rosemary. Spiders also don't like mint, but you don't need mint plants all over your house for it to have an effect. You can also put some mint leaves in water in a spray bottle and after the leaves have had a chance to sit in the water a while, spray the entry points of your home. But to any who does come across any spiders in their houses, it's worth investing in a good, cruelty-free spider catcher, so you can send them on their way.

'I put a wash on and went to bed - then woke up a millionaire'
Margaret, 60, and John Campbell, 73, were on the Greek island of Rhodes when Margaret received an email from The National Lottery saying they had won a prize on the EuroMillions A couple from Liverpool were had returned home from celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary in Rhodes when they discovered they had become millionaires. Margaret, 60, and John Campbell, 73, had been enjoying the Greek sunshine when Margaret received an email from The National Lottery informing them of a win on the EuroMillions last month. Before jetting off for a week of relaxation and sunbathing, Margaret had purchased their usual EuroMillions Lucky Dip. However, as players cannot access The National Lottery app from abroad, she assumed the prize was "£2.80, like it always is" and continued to enjoy their sunny getaway. Upon returning home at 4am, Margaret's first thought wasn't to check her winnings, but rather to do some laundry and get some sleep. It was only later that morning when she woke up that she finally logged into her lottery account. Margaret shared: "I looked on the app and I'd only matched one number and it took me a few seconds to realise it was the Millionaire Maker code. I said to John, 'I think I've won a million pounds,' and he immediately said it must be a scam. I kept looking and thinking 'this says I've won.' "I called one of our two sons to say I'd won. When he arrived, I ran out of the door shouting 'I have, I've won.' He told me to get indoors before everyone found out." Margaret contacted The Allwyn, the operator of the National Lottery, and had the ticket details checked, reports the Liverpool Echo. She recalled: "The lady on the phone told me to get a pen and a piece of paper. She said write this down - one, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero. That's what you've won, £1million. I was literally shaking, my hands were shaking." Even after their ticket was validated, the couple found it hard to believe they'd actually won. Margaret confessed: "I said I'd believe it when it was finally in my bank account. The other day I went for a shower and when I came out there was the notification from the bank, a £1million deposit. It's unbelievable." Margaret and John plan to use their winnings to "look after themselves and their family". They intend to use the money to help pay off house and car loans and ensure their two grown-up sons are secure. They've also booked another holiday for August and are planning to buy a new car. John thinks their win might have something to do with their dog, Kash, who sadly passed away shortly before they jetted off to Rhodes. John reflected: "He was a lovely dog and only six years old. Sadly, he wasn't well and couldn't be helped. We keep saying that is it Kash is looking down on us and bringing us cash with this big win." Margaret bagged the prize by matching the raffle code on the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker. Each ticket is assigned a unique code which is entered into a raffle, with a top prize of £1M. Margaret's winning ticket matched the raffle code MQDD 67764 in the draw on Tuesday, June 24.
