ULTRA rare Royal Mint 10p alphabet coins are selling for high prices from Worcestershire sellers.
The alphabet coins were released by The Royal Mint for 'The Great Briitish Coin Hunt', consisting of 26, 10-pence coins featuring a quintessentially British A to Z.
The coins can still be viewed on The Royal Mint website, but can no longer be purchased directly from the site.
Originally, these coins were listed for £2 each, with a 2019A-Z collector album available for £9.90, which is also no longer available on the website.
