Wootton Bassett's Minting Marvel

Wootton Bassett的Minting Marvel

RWB Auctions in Wootton Bassett recently saw a fascinating piece of numismatic history cross the block: a 1973 10p coin mistakenly minted in bronze. This isn't your average pocket change. While it bears the familiar crowned lion and Queen Elizabeth II portrait, its bronze hue sets it apart. Made from 97% copper instead of the usual cupronickel, this error coin is exceptionally rare. The Royal Mint themselves confirmed the error back in 1974, stating it was “struck, inadvertently, on a bronze coin-blank intended for another denomination.”

伍頓·巴塞特（Wootton Bassett）的RWB拍賣最近看到了一塊令人著迷的錢幣歷史跨越了街區：1973年的10p 10p硬幣，錯誤地用青銅鑄造。這不是您平均的口袋更換。儘管它帶有熟悉的獅子和伊麗莎白女王肖像，但其青銅色調使它與眾不同。這款錯誤硬幣由97％的銅製成，而不是通常的庫班克爾，非常罕見。皇家造幣廠本身在1974年證實了這一錯誤，並指出，“無意中擊中了旨在另一個宗派的銅幣幣。”

The owner held onto this little treasure for over 50 years! Christopher Collects from RWB Auctions noted that the owner achieved a good price. It goes to show, as he said, "checking your change with an eagle eye can still turn up rare and unusual coins."

所有者保留了這個小寶藏已有50多年了！克里斯托弗（Christopher）從RWB拍賣會上收集指出，所有者的價格取得了不錯的價格。正如他所說，這表明：“用鷹眼檢查您的變化仍然會變成稀有和不尋常的硬幣。”

Olympic Gold (and Silver and Bronze!) on eBay

eBay上的奧林匹克黃金（以及銀色和青銅！）

But Wiltshire's not the only place where rare coins are making waves. Keep an eye on your 50p coins! A London 2012 Olympics 50p coin, featuring the offside rule, sold for over 21 times its face value on eBay. Yes, that's right – a 50p coin fetched £10.51!

但是威爾特郡並不是唯一稀有硬幣引起海浪的地方。密切關注您的50便士硬幣！倫敦2012年奧運會50p硬幣，列出了越位規則，其售價超過21倍，其面值超過eBay。是的，是的 - 50p硬幣以£10.51獲取！

The Allure of the Error

錯誤的魅力

It's not just officially recognized rarities that are attracting attention. Error coins, like the misaligned 50p that sold for £50, are also proving popular. These imperfections, often overlooked, can significantly increase a coin's value.

引起人們關注的不僅是正式認可的稀有性。錯誤的硬幣，就像以50英鎊售出的50便士一樣，也很受歡迎。這些常常被忽視的不完美可能會大大增加硬幣的價值。

Beyond Wiltshire: Parisian Gold

超越威爾特郡：巴黎黃金

While Wiltshire’s auctions offer exciting finds, the world of rare coins extends far beyond. Consider the historic gold coin collection auctioned for $3.48 million in Paris. This collection, amassed by Paul Nars, included ancient coins from the Macedonian Empire and a series of French royal coins. While not directly related to Wiltshire, it illustrates the global appeal and potential value of rare coins.

儘管威爾特郡的拍賣會提供令人興奮的發現，但稀有硬幣的世界卻遠遠超出了。考慮在巴黎以348萬美元拍賣的歷史悠久的黃金硬幣收藏品。保羅·納爾斯（Paul Nars）積累的該系列包括馬其頓帝國的古代硬幣和一系列法國皇家硬幣。雖然與威爾特郡沒有直接關係，但它說明了稀有硬幣的全球吸引力和潛在價值。

So, What's the Takeaway?

那麼，收穫是什麼？

The rare coin market is alive and well. Whether it's a minting error from the 70s or a commemorative coin from the 2012 Olympics, there's value to be found in the most unexpected places.

稀有的硬幣市場還活著。無論是70年代的鑄造誤差還是2012年奧運會的紀念硬幣，都可以在最意外的地方找到價值。
