他說：「哇，這枚便士將在拍賣會上以 20 萬英鎊的價格出售，你有嗎？

"This is a UK penny from 1952, it is an intriguing proof coin which is the rarest of the proof penny of the entire series of copper and bronze pennies.

「這是 1952 年的英國便士，是一枚有趣的精製硬幣，是整個銅製和青銅便士系列中最稀有的精製硬幣。

“The existence of this unique 1952 proof penny was not known publicly until its official appearance at auction in October 1997, some 45 years after it was struck.

「這枚獨特的 1952 年精製便士的存在直到 1997 年 10 月正式出現在拍賣會上才為公眾所知，距其鑄造約 45 年。

「人們驚訝地看到這枚硬幣的出現，並且具有精製的品質，因為人們不知道這種硬幣的存在。1952 年的精製便士仍然是一個謎，因為它是20 世紀十進制前便士中唯一獨特的鑄造品。

"It is perhaps understandable that George VI the 1952 proof penny remains a unique piece as the King died very early that year, passing away on February 6.

「喬治六世 1952 年精製便士仍然是一件獨特的作品，這也許是可以理解的，因為國王當年很早就去世了，於 2 月 6 日去世。

"It will go up for auction and is estimated to reach £200,000, if not more.”

“它將進行拍賣，估價達到 20 萬英鎊，甚至更高。”

The coin is set to go up for auction at Dix Noonan Webb on March 23.

The coin is described as “the rarest of the proof pennies of the entire series of copper and bronze pennies”.

It was struck in 1952 and is the only known pre-decimal proof penny from the 20th century.

它於 1952 年鑄造，是 20 世紀唯一已知的十進制前的便士。

The coin was not known to exist until it appeared at auction in 1997, 45 years after it was struck.

直到 1997 年（即鑄造 45 年後）出現在拍賣會上時，人們才知道這枚硬幣的存在。

It is thought that the coin was struck as a pattern piece for the new bronze pennies, which were introduced in 1953.

據認為，這枚硬幣是作為 1953 年推出的新青銅便士的模型而鑄造的。

However, it is not clear why the coin was struck in proof format, as pattern pieces are usually struck in brilliant uncirculated condition.

然而，目前尚不清楚為什麼硬幣會以精製形式鑄造，因為模型通常是在明亮的未流通狀態下鑄造的。

The coin is in excellent condition and is expected to fetch a high price at auction.
