They say cash is king – but a rare coin from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II could be worth a pretty penny if you are lucky enough to possess one. According to one TikTok user with an interest in old and valuable coins, a 1954 penny has achieved an estimated value of £90,000 – and could fetch in excess of £100,000 when it goes under the hammer this month. In a video posted to his nearly 210,000 followers, user @CoinCollectingWizard gives an overview of the valuable coin, which is set to be sold under auction by Sovereign Rarities on 19 November.

David Lammy has refused to back down on branding US President-elect Donald Trump a ‘neo-Nazi sympathiser’ in the past, as he insists it’s ‘old news’. The Foreign Secretary has come under intense scrutiny for comments he made in 2018 when he described Trump as a ‘woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath’. Among the other barbs directed at Trump by Mr Lammy on social media include the quip: ‘If Trump did GCSEs he wouldn’t make it to sixth form.’

Liam Payne’s close friend Rogelio Nores last night denied abandoning the former One Direction star in the hours leading up to his death. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Mr Nores – known a ‘Roger’ – denied being a suspect in the 31-year-old’s death and rubbished claims police had raided his home in his native Buenos Aires. It comes as Argentinian prosecutors probing Liam Payne’s death confirmed the arrests of three suspects who are now under formal investigation, with one being an unnamed ‘friend’ of the late pop star.

A desperate farmer spent his final hours writing down his thoughts on how to protect the future of his business from the government’s inheritance tax raid before taking his own life, it can be revealed. John Charlesworth’s son found a handwritten note where the Yorkshire farmer had jotted down his ideas for how best to leave the farm to his children. The musings, left on a clipboard immediately beneath a suicide note, included questions for the family’s solicitor covering costs, capital gains tax, protected agricultural exemptions and what gifted assets could be sheltered from inheritance tax under the seven-year rule.

Kamala Harris has been slammed for waiting hours to concede the 2024 election to Donald Trump as the results painted a bleak picture at the scale of her loss. The vice president finally called the president-elect just before 2pm Eastern Time on Wednesday and told him about the importance of the ‘peaceful transfer of power’. As it stands, the vice president is on track to do worse than Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential election. She could even be on pace to have the worst Electoral College result of any Democrat since the 1988 race.

Cricket legend Sir Ian Botham has revealed he was saved by his fellow great Merv Hughes when he took a painful fall into crocodile-infested waters in Australia’s wild tropical north last week. ‘Beefy’ Botham, 68, was on a four-day fishing trip with his former Ashes opponent when disaster almost struck as he tripped and took a tumble that left him with severe bruising – and put him at risk of an attack by a saltwater croc. ‘At the end of the day, Crocodile Beefy survived,’ the former all-rounder said, mixing his nickname with a reference to the hit Australian film Crocodile Dundee.
