TikTok 的創建者、英國硬幣收藏家透露，一枚 1983 年的特定 2 便士硬幣的價值可能遠遠超過其面值。

A TikTok coin collector has revealed that a specific 2p coin from 1983 could be worth a staggering £1,000 - but only if it has one key detail.

一位 TikTok 硬幣收藏家透露，一枚 1983 年的 2 便士硬幣可能價值驚人的 1,000 英鎊 - 但前提是它有一個關鍵細節。

The coin collector, known as the Coin Collector UK on TikTok, revealed that a 2p coin from 1983 with the words “new pence” on it instead of “two pence” could be worth a small fortune.

這位在 TikTok 上被稱為 Coin Collector UK 的硬幣收藏家透露，一枚 1983 年的 2 便士硬幣，上面寫著“新便士”而不是“兩便士”，可能價值不菲。

The coin expert explained in a video: “Do you have the two pence worth £1,000?

這位硬幣專家在影片中解釋道：「你有價值 1000 英鎊的兩便士嗎？

“The 1983 new pence two pence is one of the rarest British error coins that sells for up to four figures.”

“1983 年新版兩便士硬幣是最稀有的英國錯誤硬幣之一，售價高達四位數。”

However, the coin expert is referring to a specific type of error coin, as he adds: “In 1983 the Royal Mint accidentally minted two pence coins with ‘new pence’ on them in the 1983 year sets.

然而，這位硬幣專家指的是一種特定類型的錯誤硬幣，他補充說：「1983 年，皇家造幣廠意外鑄造了兩枚 1983 年版便士硬幣，上面印有『新便士』。

“This was a mistake and they should have said the words ‘two pence’.

「這是一個錯誤，他們應該說『兩便士』這個詞。

“Like all errors the exact number minted is unknown, as they were not supposed to be produced in the first place.”

“就像所有錯誤一樣，鑄造的確切數量是未知的，因為它們一開始就不應該被生產。”

But the coin expert is keen to stress that this error is only found on coins from 1983.

但這位錢幣專家熱衷於強調，這種錯誤只出現在 1983 年的硬幣上。

He adds: “Other years of the new pence two pence are very common and don’t hold any collector’s value.

他補充說：「其他年份的新便士兩便士很常見，沒有任何收藏價值。

“Billions of these went into circulation to celebrate the introduction of the new coin.”

“數十億枚硬幣進入流通，以慶祝新硬幣的推出。”

The error occurred after the UK switched to the decimal system, experts at Change Checker explained.

Change Checker 的專家解釋說，該錯誤是在英國改用十進制後發生的。

The website reads: “When the UK switched to decimal coinage in 1971, it was decided that the word ‘new’ would be included in the denomination on some of our coins to avoid confusion between the new decimal coinage and the old currency.

該網站寫道：「當英國在1971年改用十進制硬幣時，我們決定在我們的一些硬幣的面額中包含『新』一詞，以避免新的十進制硬幣和舊貨幣之間的混淆。

“By 1982 the coins were no longer new so the word was dropped, and the 2p design changed from ‘new pence’ to ‘two pence’.”

“到 1982 年，硬幣不再新鮮，所以這個詞被刪除，2p 的設計從‘新便士’變成了‘兩便士’。”

The website adds that the affected coins were issued in special souvenir sets that did not enter general circulation.

該網站補充說，受影響的硬幣是以特殊紀念品套裝發行的，並未進入一般流通。

They said: “If you’re lucky enough to find a 1983 ‘new pence’ 2p in your change, not only does the rarity of this coin make it more collectable, but the coin was also struck in uncirculated quality – meaning it won’t have the scratches and blemishes of circulation coins.

他們說：「如果你夠幸運，在找零時找到一枚1983 年的『新便士』2 便士，這不僅因為這枚硬幣的稀有性使其更具收藏價值，而且這枚硬幣的鑄造品質也未流通——這意味著它會獲勝。

“The individual 1983 2p coin has been known to sell for between £500 – £700, however the 1983 coin sets have been known to sell for over £1,000 on the secondary market!”

「據了解，單枚 1983 年 2 便士硬幣的售價在 500 至 700 英鎊之間，但 1983 年一套硬幣在二級市場上的售價超過 1,000 英鎊！”
