0:00It's April 18th. I'm Cory with the story. This is Lester News today, driven by AI. Yo, check your pockets for that 2016 1-pound coin. Cause a tiny minting glitch could turn it into 500 pounds or more. The air is super small. 2016 day by the Queen's face on one side, but a microscopic 2017 engraving hidden on the edge of the other side. These 12-sided pounds hid streets in April 2017, but some got made early in 2016. Only a handful slipped out with this date mix-up, making them rare fines. Coin Hunters lit up online after an expert broke it down, and folks from Change Checker backed it up, saying it's tough to spot without a microscope. One even sold to a buyer in Spain for 2500 pounds back in 2017. Experts peg the usual value at 300 to 500 pounds, higher if it's pristine. No massive supply out there, so demand stays hot for sharp-eyed collectors. Grab a magnifier, sift through those old 2016 pounds, and you might just cash in big without breaking a sweat.

1:05Stay vigilant out there.
