當人們敦促檢查其更改時，稀有1p硬幣的售價為127,000英鎊

人們一直在清空他們的小豬銀行，以尋找一枚稀有硬幣，在拍賣會上出售時可能會賺到近130,000英鎊

People have been emptying their piggy banks in search for a rare coin that could earn them almost £130,000 when sold at auction - but many have their doubts over ever finding one.

人們一直在清空他們的小豬銀行，以尋找一枚稀有硬幣，在拍賣會上出售時可能會賺到近130,000英鎊 - 但許多人對尋找一枚的疑問。

A 1933 1p coin is considered ultra-rare by collectors and it is thought that only seven of the coins were issued.

1933年的1p硬幣被收藏家視為超稀有，認為只有七枚硬幣被發出。

The Royal Mint Museum website reads: “The banks possessed such large stocks of pennies in 1933 that it was not necessary to strike any more for general circulation. But there was a convention at the time that complete sets of coins of the current year were buried under the foundation stones of new buildings.

皇家薄荷博物館的網站上寫道：“銀行在1933年擁有如此多的便士，以至於不必再罷工一般流通。但是，當時有一項大會，當時有一組完整的硬幣被埋葬在新建築的基礎下。

“Consequently three 1933 pennies were struck for buildings erected in that year, along with a small number to be kept as record copies by the British Museum and the Royal Mint Museum. No record was kept at the time of how many pennies dated 1933 were made but it is thought to be no more than six or seven.

“因此，大英博物館和皇家薄荷博物館的記錄副本均被豎立在那一年的建築物中，這是三個1933年的便士。

“With no precise record of the number made, and with the coin having been struck to ordinary circulation standard, it seemed possible that one might turn up in everyday use, prompting a generation to search their change for the rare but ultimately elusive penny of 1933.”

“由於沒有確切的數字記錄，而且由於硬幣被擊中了普通的流通標準，因此似乎有可能在日常使用中出現，促使一代人在1933年的稀有但最終難以捉摸的一分錢中尋找變化。”

But in August 1970, thieves broke into the Church of St Cross, Middleton, near Leeds, and stole a set of coins from under its foundation stone.

但是在1970年8月，盜賊闖入了利茲附近的米德爾頓的聖克羅斯教堂，並從其基礎上偷了一套硬幣。

Following this, a second set buried under St Mary’s Church, Hawksworth Wood, Kirkstall, Leeds, was removed and sold. However, it is thought the third set remains in place.

此後，將第二套埋葬在聖瑪麗教堂（St Mary's Church）下，霍克斯沃思·伍德（Hawksworth Wood），柯克斯托爾（Kirkstall），利茲（Leeds）被拆除並出售。但是，人們認為第三組仍然存在。

One TikTok user, @ndainternet, has been sharing how one of the coins recently sold at auction for £127,000.

一位Tiktok用戶@ndainternet一直在分享其中一枚硬幣最近在拍賣中以127,000英鎊的價格出售。

Another, presumed to be in worse condition, sold for £86,000.

另一個被認為狀況較差，以86,000英鎊的價格售出。

He said: “It's because these King George 5th coins are considered to be a very rare coin. Mainly because they're around 100 years old and so they're considered to be a historical item. If you have one, it might be worth a lot of money.”

他說：“這是因為這些國王喬治第五硬幣被認為是非常罕見的硬幣。主要是因為它們大約有100年的歷史，因此被認為是歷史遺跡。如果您有一件，那麼這可能值得很多。”

Commenting on his video, one user said: “I'm saving the Queen pennies now. Maybe my grandchildren will be rich.”

一位用戶在評論他的視頻時說：“我現在省下女王的便士。也許我的孫子會很富有。”

Another user added: “Only seven minted and three of them are owned by the mint one buried under a castle two of them in private collectors and one is still missing.”

另一位用戶補充說：“只有七個鑄造，其中三個歸薄荷屬於私人收藏家，其中一個被埋在城堡下，其中一個仍缺失。”

A third user said: “I used to bury these in my grandad's back yard.”

第三個用戶說：“我曾經將它們埋在爺爺的後院。”

One more added: “I have 1 pence coin year 1979, a 45 years old coin now.”

另外一則是：“ 1979年，我有一年級的一年，現在是45歲的硬幣。”

A final user said: “They are so rare because they did not make loads that the only reason not because they over 100 years old. Good luck finding 1933.”

最終用戶說：“他們之所以罕見，是因為他們沒有承受負擔，這不是唯一的原因，不是因為他們超過100年。幸運的是找到1933年。”
