£1 King Charles coin mistakenly created by Royal Mint - It's worth £600

A local Post Office operator in Broughton-in-Furness discovered last year a misstruck £1 coin worth about 600 times its face value.
The Royal Mint said the error occurred when the coin was struck all brass rather than the usual two‑tone nickel, and a spokeswoman said quality controls are tight and errors are exceptionally rare.
Oliver Reece, British Coin Specialist at Baldwin’s, said modern error coins are rare and the market is strong for them, while Diane said it was her most exciting find in over two decades.
People have been urged to check their change after reports of a 'botched' £1 coin, and collectors are advised to research finds as circulating coins are still believed to exist.
Collectors note that low-mintage or unique errors like this incredibly rare find often drive strong prices, fitting within King Charles coinage from 2022 and top coin value lists.
