稀有的一分錢​​可能是一筆財富的關鍵

1933年的硬幣是英國10個最稀有的硬幣之一，價值高達130,000英鎊。

A RARE penny could be the key to a fortune, if you’re lucky enough to have one in your possession.

如果您有幸擁有一筆錢，那可能是一分錢的鑰匙。

The 1933 coin is one of the 10 rarest coins in the UK and is worth a whopping £130,000.

1933年的硬幣是英國10個最稀有的硬幣之一，價值高達130,000英鎊。

One avid coin collector shared his knowledge about the rare penny, including that there is only seven known to be in existence.

一位狂熱的硬幣收藏家分享了他對稀有一分錢的認識，包括只有七個已知存在。

The Coin Collecting Wizard on TikTok gave people an insight into what makes this penny so valuable.

Tiktok上收集嚮導的硬幣使人們了解了使這一分錢如此有價值的原因。

“This is the 1933 pre-decimal penny from the United Kingdom, so make sure you check your grandad's old coin collection and keep an eye out for this date,” he said in a new TikTok, referring to the year 1933.

他在新的蒂克托克（Tiktok）中說：“這是1933年的英國少年前一分錢，因此請確保您檢查爺爺的舊硬幣收藏品，並留意這一日期。”

“Do you have this coin from 1933. If so, you are rich?”

“從1933年開始，您有這枚硬幣嗎？如果是的話，您有錢嗎？”

He said that while “there are other dates to look out for too,” of rare coins, none are “going to have the crazy value of the 1933 penny,” and the reason for that is because there are only seven are known to exist.

他說，雖然“還有其他日期也需要注意”，但稀有硬幣中沒有一個“將擁有1933 Penny的瘋狂價值”，其原因是因為只有七個存在七個。

The reason there were so few is because this penny was not intended for general circulation.

之所以很少，是因為這一分錢不是打算用於一般循環的。

Instead, it was struck for ceremonial purposes, such as being placed under the foundation stones of important buildings.

取而代之的是，它是出於儀式目的而擊中的，例如被放置在重要​​建築物的基礎下。

“So, if you find one, you are extremely lucky, but that doesn't necessarily mean there are no other dates to look for because there is,” Coin Collecting Wizard continued.

“因此，如果您找到一個，您將非常幸運，但這並不一定意味著沒有其他日期可以尋找，”收集巫師的硬幣繼續說道。

Coin Collecting Wizard often posts about interesting coin facts on TikTok and in one video ran through the most valuable pennies.

收集巫師的硬幣經常發布有關Tiktok上有趣的硬幣事實的文章，並在一個視頻中瀏覽了最有價值的便士。

Speaking in the video, he urged viewers to “stop what you're doing and listen”.

他在視頻中發表講話時敦促觀眾“停止正在做的事情並傾聽”。

He said: “Did you know there are old pennies worth thousands of pounds?”

他說：“你知道有價值數千英鎊的舊便士嗎？”

In some cases, the extremely rare 1p pieces have sold for a whopping £200,000.

在某些情況下，極為罕見的1便士售價高達20萬英鎊。

Bear in mind though, that you might not always get such a hefty amount for a rare coin.

不過請記住，您可能並不總是能得到如此稀有的硬幣。

The design of the coin, its condition and whether or not the coin is in circulation also affects how much it could be worth.

硬幣的設計，其狀況以及硬幣是否流通也會影響其價值。

消費者編輯愛麗絲·格拉恩斯（Alice Grahns）的評論：

It’s easy to check if items in your attic are valuable.

很容易檢查閣樓中的物品是否有價值。

As a first step, go on eBay to check what other similar pieces, if not the same, have sold for recently.

作為第一步，請在eBay上檢查最近出售的其他類似作品，即使不是一樣。

Simply search for your item, filter by “sold listings” and toggle by the highest value.

只需搜索您的項目，通過“已出售清單”過濾，然後按最高值切換。

This will give you an idea of how much others are willing to pay for it.

這將使您了解其他人願意為此付出多少。

The method can be used for everything ranging from rare coins and notes to stamps, old toys, books and vinyl records - just to mention a few examples.

該方法可用於從稀有硬幣和註釋到郵票，舊玩具，書籍和乙烯基記錄的所有內容 - 僅提及一些例子。

For coins, online tools from change experts like Coin Hunter are also helpful to see how much it could be worth.

對於硬幣而言，諸如Coin Hunter之類的變革專家的在線工具也很有幫助，可以看到它的價值。

Plus, you can refer to Change Checker’s latest scarcity index update to see which coins are topping the charts.

另外，您可以參考更改Checker的最新稀缺索引更新，以查看哪些硬幣佔據了圖表。

For especially valuable items, you may want to enlist the help of experts or auction houses.

對於特別有價值的物品，您可能需要尋求專家或拍賣行的幫助。

As a rule of thumb, rarity and condition are key factors in determining the value of any item.

根據經驗，稀有性和條件是確定任何項目價值的關鍵因素。

You’re never guaranteed to make a mint, however.

但是，您永遠無法保證製造薄荷。

You can easily figure out how rare a coin is, by checking its mintage figures.

您可以通過檢查其鑄幣型數字來輕鬆弄清硬幣的罕見。

This relates to how many coins were produced by The Royal Mint.

這與皇家造幣廠生產了多少硬幣有關。

If a coin has a low mintage, it means there's less in circulation and is therefore rarer and it could potentially be worth more than its face value.

如果硬幣的鑄造量很低，則意味著循環含量較小，因此稀有，它的價值可能超過其面值。

Either way, you'll want to keep an eye out for some in particular which can sell for big numbers.

無論哪種方式，您都需要注意一些可以出售大數字的人。

Plus sometimes specific details can determine how much the penny will sell for - such as if it has an error.

再加上有時特定的細節可以確定一分錢的出售數量 - 例如有錯誤。
