2011年奥林匹克水上运动50p硬币，如果有一个“一个小细节”，则价值数千美元

如果奥运会主题的硬币具有特定的设计，则受到收藏家的高度追捧。

British coin collectors are being advised to check their pockets for a 50p coin from 2011, as it could be worth a small fortune if it has “one small detail”.

建议从2011年开始检查英国硬币收藏家的口袋里的50便士硬币，因为如果有一个“一个小细节”，它可能值得一笔小东西。

The coin in question is the 2011 Olympic aquatics 50p, which was created by the Royal Mint to celebrate the 2012 London Olympics.

所讨论的硬币是2011年奥林匹克水上运动50p，是由皇家造币厂创建的，旨在庆祝2012年伦敦奥运会。

The coin depicts a swimmer on the reverse, also known as the tail side, of the coin. However, a “one tiny detail” on certain editions of the coin makes it far more valuable than others.

硬币描绘了一名背面的游泳者，也称为硬币的尾部。但是，硬币的某些版本的“一个小细节”使其比其他硬币更有价值。

In a video uploaded to social media platform TikTok, a content creator known as the Coin Collecting Wizard, explained how to spot the mistake.

在上传到社交媒体平台Tiktok的视频中，该内容创作者被称为“收集向导的硬币”，解释了如何发现错误。

He said: “Look out for this 50 pence as there is a rare version worth all this money. This is the coin to look for and the secret is all in the face.

他说：“注意这50便士，因为有一个罕见的版本值得所有这些钱。这是要寻找的硬币，秘密就在面前。

“This is the 2011 Olympic Aquatics 50p - one of 29 coins released for the London games but there’s a super rare version that collectors are obsessed with.”

“这是2011年的奥运会水上运动50p-伦敦游戏发布的29枚硬币之一，但有一个超级稀有版本的收藏家痴迷。”

According to the expert, the important detail can be found over the swimmer’s face.

据专家说，可以在游泳者的脸上找到重要的细节。

He said: “Look closely at the swimmer’s face. The common one shows the face normal, just like this example.

他说：“仔细观察游泳者的脸。常见的脸显示出正常的脸，就像这个例子一样。

“The rare version has wavy water lines going over the swimmer’s face like this. It’s called the ‘lines over face error’ and it was quickly corrected, making those first few releases super limited.”

“罕见的版本具有波浪形的水线，像这样的游泳者的脸上都越过脸。这就是“面部误差线”，并迅速纠正了，这使得前几个发行的发行超过了。”

He also mentioned that one of these error coins was sold privately for over £2,000. “That’s a 50p coin turning into a holiday, a new laptop or half a car,” he said.

他还提到，这些错误硬币之一以超过2,000英镑的价格被私人出售。他说：“那是一枚50便士的硬币，变成了一个假期，一台新笔记本电脑或半车。”

“Keep in mind, the regular version is only worth 50p. To hit the jackpot, you need to spot those swimming lines covering the swimmer’s face. One small detail can lead to a huge payout.”

“请记住，常规版本只有50便士。要击中大奖，您需要发现那些覆盖游泳者脸的游泳线。一个小细节会导致巨额支出。”

It’s estimated that only around 600 of the “lines over face” coins were produced before the design was altered. However, according to RWB Auctions, it’s more accurate to say that the coin’s design was “tweaked” rather than containing an error.

据估计，在更改设计之前，只生产了大约600个“脸上的线”硬币。但是，根据RWB拍卖会，更准确地说硬币的设计是“调整”的，而不是包含错误。

Their website states: “These 2011-dated coins regularly sell for more than a thousand pounds.”

他们的网站指出：“这些2011年的硬币定期出售一千多英镑。”

In 2024, RWB Auctions sold one of these coins for £1,500.

2024年，RWB拍卖会以1,500英镑的价格出售了其中一枚硬币。
