"Well if you have this coin but the silver one, then you are now rich.

「好吧，如果你除了銀幣之外還有這枚硬幣，那麼你現在就富有了。

"The pre-decimal three pence was a unit of currency equalling one eightieth of a pound sterling or three pence sterling."

“十進制前的三便士是一種貨幣單位，等於八十分之一英鎊或三便士英鎊。”

He added: "It was used in the United Kingdom by the end of King George V reign, the three pence had become unpopular in England because of its small size but it remained popular in Scotland.

他補充說：「到喬治五世國王統治末期，它已在英國使用，三便士因其尺寸小而在英格蘭不再受歡迎，但在蘇格蘭仍然很受歡迎。

"This three pence of 1949 does have a lower mintage and can fetch £20 plus today depending on condition.

「這枚 1949 年的 3 便士硬幣的發行量確實較低，根據狀況，今天可以賣到 20 英鎊以上。

"But there is a very rare three pence which could be worth thousands and it's the silver version dated 1945."

“但有一枚非常罕見的三便士，價值數千美元，它是 1945 年的銀版。”

If you think you own this coin, it's best to reach out to a professional.

如果您認為自己擁有這枚硬幣，最好聯繫專業人士。

There are many ways to work out if you're sitting on a fortune with your rare coin.

有很多方法可以判斷您是否擁有稀有硬幣。

Firstly, it's worth learning the mintage of the piece as the lower it is, the rarer the coin will be.

首先，值得了解該硬幣的發行量，因為發行量越低，硬幣就越稀有。

Condition is also an important factor as collectors prefer coins in mint quality, even the slightest fingerprint can reduce a coin's value.

狀況也是一個重要因素，因為收藏家更喜歡完好無損的硬幣，即使是最輕微的指紋也會降低硬幣的價值。

Also the historic significance plays a huge factor.

歷史意義也是一個重要因素。

For example, Edward VIII abdicated after only a few months on the throne, so no coins with his image were minted for circulation.

例如，愛德華八世在位僅幾個月後就退位了，因此沒有鑄造帶有他形象的硬幣進行流通。

And finally, interesting designs can make a coin rare. And even one with an error, like a missing date.

最後，有趣的設計可以使硬幣變得稀有。甚至還有一個錯誤，例如缺少日期。
