罕見的 1 英鎊硬幣錯誤可能價值 2,500 英鎊 - 如何發現它

一位專家敦促人們檢查家裡的錢包和存錢罐，看看有沒有價值高達 2,500 英鎊的硬幣

People are being urged to check their wallets and piggy banks at home for a coin that could be worth as much as £2,500.

人們被敦促檢查家裡的錢包和存錢罐，看看是否有一枚價值高達 2500 英鎊的硬幣。

£1 coins with a certain error on them could sell for thousands, an expert has advised.

一位專家建議，1英鎊的硬幣如果有一定的錯誤，可能會賣到數千美元。

To spot the valuable coin, you need to look for a £1 coin that has two different dates on it. One date will be easy to find - appearing on the same side as the monarch’s head.

要發現這枚有價值的硬幣，您需要尋找一枚印有兩個不同日期的 1 英鎊硬幣。很容易找到一個日期——與君主的頭部出現在同一側。

The other date will be etched into the rim of the other side of the coin in very small print. If these two dates are different, your coin could be worth putting up for auction.

另一個日期將以非常小的字體蝕刻在硬幣另一面的邊緣。如果這兩個日期不同，您的硬幣可能值得拍賣。

More specifically the dates you want to be looking out for are 2016 and 2017.

更具體地說，您要關注的日期是 2016 年和 2017 年。

One coin expert, known online as the Coin Collector UK, took to social media platform TikTok to explain exactly what to look for.

一位網路上被稱為英國硬幣收藏家的硬幣專家在社群媒體平台 TikTok 上準確地解釋了要尋找的內容。

He said: “£2,500 if you manage to find this error on your 12 sided £1 coin.

他說：「如果你能在 1 英鎊的 12 面硬幣上發現這個錯誤，你可以得到 2,500 英鎊。

“There are a few errors that can be found on your £1 coins. The main ones you want to be looking for is the dual dated £1 coin.”

「1 英鎊硬幣上有一些錯誤。您想要尋找的主要是具有雙重日期的 1 英鎊硬幣。

He demonstrated what to look for using a normal £1 coin from 2016.

他用 2016 年的一枚普通 1 英鎊硬幣演示了要尋找什麼。

“So you can see, when we flip this over on the obverse side this is a 2016 version of the £1 coin,” he said.

「所以你可以看到，當我們翻轉正面時，這是 2016 年版的 1 英鎊硬幣，」他說。

“However some were made with the micro-lettering on the side with the date 2017. It is an extremely rare error. We only know of one that’s actually being sold to a buyer in Spain, and this sold for £2,500.”

「然而，有些是在側面刻有帶有日期 2017 年的微字。這是一個極其罕見的錯誤。我們只知道其中一件實際上被賣給了西班牙的一位買家，而且售價為 2,500 英鎊。

He continued: “Here's a close-up of exactly all you want to be looking out for. You can see here the date 2017 around the edge in micro-lettering on every side.”

他繼續說：「這正是你想要尋找的一切的特寫。您可以在邊緣看到每一面都有微字體的 2017 年日期。

The expert advised using a microscope to check for the error.

專家建議使用顯微鏡來檢查錯誤。

“If you are going to look out for this error in your change then you'll probably need a microscope because the micro-lettering on the edges is extremely fine and very very hard to see,” he added.

「如果你要在更改中尋找這個錯誤，那麼你可能需要一台顯微鏡，因為邊緣上的微字體非常精細，很難看到，」他補充道。

“Definitely worth checking if you have the 2016 dated coin on the Queen's head side, for the micro-lettering on the reverse side for the date 2017.”

“絕對值得檢查一下，是否有女王頭像一側為 2016 年日期的硬幣，背面是否有 2017 年日期的微字。”
