Rare Charles Dickens £2 coin sells for £205 on eBay – do you have one?

A RARE £2 coin made to celebrate Charles Dickens has sold on eBay for £205.

The coin has two minting errors, making it extremely valuable for collectors.

In 2012 the coin was issued to commemorate the birthday of the great English writer and has the words “something will turn up” written on the edge.

The words are uttered by the hopelessly optimistic Mr Micawber, a character in Dicken’s 1850 novel Oliver Twist.

The special coin features a detailed profile made up of the names of the author’s books.

According to the eBay listing, the errors are dots around the Queen’s head, which disappear halfway round, and “something will turn up” is written upside down.

It also has the word “will” misspelled.

Other coins with similar errors have been listed for thousands of pounds on eBay but have failed to sell.

There are 37 different £2 coins in in circulation and some of the rarest are worth 20 times the face value.

According to the Royal Mint over 8million of the coins were made to celebrate the famous author.

In general, the rarer the coin the more valuable it is, but the Royal Mint reckons that as many as 75 per cent of the coins have been removed from circulation by collectors.
