Now one coin collector has issued urgent advice over a coin which has been spotted with a £5million price tag. ‌He said: "A penny worth £5million?! You'll probably have seen the photo doing the rounds claiming a modern UK penny sold for £5,000,000... and I'm going to say this very clearly." There is no modern UK penny worth millions. There is no penny worth £5million.
