罕见的 1 英镑硬币错误可能价值 2,500 英镑 - 如何发现它

一位专家敦促人们检查家里的钱包和存钱罐，看看有没有价值高达 2,500 英镑的硬币

People are being urged to check their wallets and piggy banks at home for a coin that could be worth as much as £2,500.

人们被敦促检查家里的钱包和存钱罐，看看是否有一枚价值高达 2500 英镑的硬币。

£1 coins with a certain error on them could sell for thousands, an expert has advised.

一位专家建议，1英镑的硬币如果有一定的错误，可能会卖到数千美元。

To spot the valuable coin, you need to look for a £1 coin that has two different dates on it. One date will be easy to find - appearing on the same side as the monarch’s head.

要发现这枚有价值的硬币，您需要寻找一枚印有两个不同日期的 1 英镑硬币。很容易找到一个日期——与君主的头部出现在同一侧。

The other date will be etched into the rim of the other side of the coin in very small print. If these two dates are different, your coin could be worth putting up for auction.

另一个日期将以非常小的字体蚀刻在硬币另一面的边缘。如果这两个日期不同，您的硬币可能值得拍卖。

More specifically the dates you want to be looking out for are 2016 and 2017.

更具体地说，您要关注的日期是 2016 年和 2017 年。

One coin expert, known online as the Coin Collector UK, took to social media platform TikTok to explain exactly what to look for.

一位网上被称为英国硬币收藏家的硬币专家在社交媒体平台 TikTok 上准确解释了要寻找的内容。

He said: “£2,500 if you manage to find this error on your 12 sided £1 coin.

他说：“如果你能在 1 英镑的 12 面硬币上发现这个错误，就可以得到 2,500 英镑。

“There are a few errors that can be found on your £1 coins. The main ones you want to be looking for is the dual dated £1 coin.”

“1 英镑硬币上有一些错误。您想要寻找的主要是具有双重日期的 1 英镑硬币。”

He demonstrated what to look for using a normal £1 coin from 2016.

他用 2016 年的一枚普通 1 英镑硬币演示了要寻找什么。

“So you can see, when we flip this over on the obverse side this is a 2016 version of the £1 coin,” he said.

“所以你可以看到，当我们翻转正面时，这是 2016 年版的 1 英镑硬币，”他说。

“However some were made with the micro-lettering on the side with the date 2017. It is an extremely rare error. We only know of one that’s actually being sold to a buyer in Spain, and this sold for £2,500.”

“然而，有些是在侧面刻有带有日期 2017 年的微字。这是一个极其罕见的错误。我们只知道其中一件实际上被卖给了西班牙的一位买家，而且售价为 2,500 英镑。”

He continued: “Here's a close-up of exactly all you want to be looking out for. You can see here the date 2017 around the edge in micro-lettering on every side.”

他继续说道：“这正是你想要寻找的一切的特写。您可以在边缘看到每一面都有微字体的 2017 年日期。”

The expert advised using a microscope to check for the error.

专家建议使用显微镜来检查错误。

“If you are going to look out for this error in your change then you'll probably need a microscope because the micro-lettering on the edges is extremely fine and very very hard to see,” he added.

“如果你要在更改中寻找这个错误，那么你可能需要一台显微镜，因为边缘上的微字体非常精细，很难看到，”他补充道。

“Definitely worth checking if you have the 2016 dated coin on the Queen's head side, for the micro-lettering on the reverse side for the date 2017.”

“绝对值得检查一下，是否有女王头像一侧为 2016 年日期的硬币，背面是否有 2017 年日期的微字。”
