Rare coin found in attic almost thrown out. Turns out it's worth £100k!

[OtakuDude]

Cash was quite literally in the attic of one grandmother's home - in the form of a vintage coin worth £100,000. The 17th century Rawlins' Oxford Crown was discovered in a box of coins, found by a 69-year-old woman whilst clearing out her loft in Hull.

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, "nearly fell off her chair" when she learnt its value, after sending the box, as well as costume jewellery and a silver-plated tea set, to Leeds-based Vintage Cash Cow, an online platform where people can sell vintage items for cash.

The coin was minted in 1644 during the reign of Charles I and is believed to be one of only 100 ever made.
