A PENNY with an easy-to-miss mistake could net you over six figures.
In a recent video, TikToker Treasuretown talked about a mule error that could make your coin worth up to $114,000.
He showed a 2001 Denver minted penny that has a Roosevelt dime die on its reverse side.
Treasuretown explained how a mint worker accidentally put the reverse die of the dime on the reverse side of the penny, turning the penny into a "mule coin."
A mule coin has mismatched imagery on its front and backside.
According to Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), the specific 2001 mule penny went for a whopping $114,000 at a Heritage auction on June 17, 2021.

Not your average mule
Mule coins are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors.
Another notable example is a Sacagawea dollar with the face of a quarter.

The coin has sold for upwards of $50,000 at auction, according to PCGS.
Other notable US mule coins include a 1993 Lincoln penny that also has reverse dime imagery on the back, and a dime with two reverse dies.
Other valuable errors
Mule coins are one of many errors that could turn your coin from a piece of spare change into a treasure trove.
Coins with die mistakes are also highly sought after.
And even the seemingly smallest mistake potentially makes your coin a collector's item.
For instance, a rare 1964 half-dollar with just a tiny teardrop-like marking under the number four sold at auction for $156,000.
And a 1934 quarter with a 'double die' error - one where the died lettering is layered more than once - can net you thousands.
In some cases, the entire coin was never meant to be made and now is worth a fortune.
Any copper Lincoln penny made in 1943 when the mint was supposed to stop using the metal and switch to steel is extremely rare and valuable, netting owners hundreds of thousands of dollars.
