2011年奧林匹克水上運動50p硬幣，如果有一個“一個小細節”，則價值數千美元

如果奧運會主題的硬幣具有特定的設計，則受到收藏家的高度追捧。

British coin collectors are being advised to check their pockets for a 50p coin from 2011, as it could be worth a small fortune if it has “one small detail”.

建議從2011年開始檢查英國硬幣收藏家的口袋裡的50便士硬幣，因為如果有一個“一個小細節”，它可能值得一筆小東西。

The coin in question is the 2011 Olympic aquatics 50p, which was created by the Royal Mint to celebrate the 2012 London Olympics.

所討論的硬幣是2011年奧林匹克水上運動50p，是由皇家造幣廠創建的，旨在慶祝2012年倫敦奧運會。

The coin depicts a swimmer on the reverse, also known as the tail side, of the coin. However, a “one tiny detail” on certain editions of the coin makes it far more valuable than others.

硬幣描繪了一名背面的游泳者，也稱為硬幣的尾部。但是，硬幣的某些版本的“一個小細節”使其比其他硬幣更有價值。

In a video uploaded to social media platform TikTok, a content creator known as the Coin Collecting Wizard, explained how to spot the mistake.

在上傳到社交媒體平台Tiktok的視頻中，該內容創作者被稱為“收集嚮導的硬幣”，解釋瞭如何發現錯誤。

He said: “Look out for this 50 pence as there is a rare version worth all this money. This is the coin to look for and the secret is all in the face.

他說：“注意這50便士，因為有一個罕見的版本值得所有這些錢。這是要尋找的硬幣，秘密就在面前。

“This is the 2011 Olympic Aquatics 50p - one of 29 coins released for the London games but there’s a super rare version that collectors are obsessed with.”

“這是2011年的奧運會水上運動50p-倫敦遊戲發布的29枚硬幣之一，但有一個超級稀有版本的收藏家痴迷。”

According to the expert, the important detail can be found over the swimmer’s face.

據專家說，可以在游泳者的臉上找到重要的細節。

He said: “Look closely at the swimmer’s face. The common one shows the face normal, just like this example.

他說：“仔細觀察游泳者的臉。常見的臉顯示出正常的臉，就像這個例子一樣。

“The rare version has wavy water lines going over the swimmer’s face like this. It’s called the ‘lines over face error’ and it was quickly corrected, making those first few releases super limited.”

“罕見的版本具有波浪形的水線，像這樣的游泳者的臉上都越過臉。這就是“面部誤差線”，並迅速糾正了，這使得前幾個發行的發行超過了。”

He also mentioned that one of these error coins was sold privately for over £2,000. “That’s a 50p coin turning into a holiday, a new laptop or half a car,” he said.

他還提到，這些錯誤硬幣之一以超過2,000英鎊的價格被私人出售。他說：“那是一枚50便士的硬幣，變成了一個假期，一台新筆記本電腦或半車。”

“Keep in mind, the regular version is only worth 50p. To hit the jackpot, you need to spot those swimming lines covering the swimmer’s face. One small detail can lead to a huge payout.”

“請記住，常規版本只有50便士。要擊中大獎，您需要發現那些覆蓋游泳者臉的游泳線。一個小細節會導致巨額支出。”

It’s estimated that only around 600 of the “lines over face” coins were produced before the design was altered. However, according to RWB Auctions, it’s more accurate to say that the coin’s design was “tweaked” rather than containing an error.

據估計，在更改設計之前，只生產了大約600個“臉上的線”硬幣。但是，根據RWB拍賣會，更準確地說硬幣的設計是“調整”的，而不是包含錯誤。

Their website states: “These 2011-dated coins regularly sell for more than a thousand pounds.”

他們的網站指出：“這些2011年的硬幣定期出售一千多英鎊。”

In 2024, RWB Auctions sold one of these coins for £1,500.

2024年，RWB拍賣會以1,500英鎊的價格出售了其中一枚硬幣。
