A rare coin expert has sent collectors into a frenzy by revealing that a certain 20p piece could in fact be worth a small fortune.

一位稀有的硬币专家通过透露某个20便士的作品实际上值得一笔小东西，使收藏家陷入了疯狂。

In his latest video, TikTok's Coin Collecting Wizard urged his followers to "stop spending 20p coins", instead checking them first thoroughly to determine if they have one that is highly sought after.

在他的最新视频中，蒂克托克（Tiktok）的硬币收集了巫师，敦促他的追随者“停止花20便士硬币”，而是首先彻底检查它们，以确定他们是否有高度追捧的人。

"One from 2008 with no date is worth £60," the expert began. "Normally, the date on the 20p is on the reverse right under the crown, but in 2008 something strange happened."

专家开始说：“从2008年起，没有约会价值60英镑。” “通常，20便士的日期在皇冠下面的背面，但在2008年发生了一些奇怪的事情。”

Coin Collecting Wizard went on to explain that in that year, a small number of 20p coins were minted with a new obverse. It is the now commonly seen shield design, which has taken over from the previous Tudor rose design.

收集巫师的硬币继续解释说，在那一年，少数20便士的硬币被新的正面铸造出来。这是现在通常看到的盾牌设计，它已从以前的都铎玫瑰设计中取代。

However, in 2008, that new obverse was mistakenly paired with the original bust side, meaning some coins were minted without a date on either side.

但是，在2008年，这种新的正面与原始的胸围一侧拼错了，这意味着有些硬币在任何一侧都没有约会。

"This is what we call a mule error, when mismatched dyes are used - and this one slipped into circulation without anyone noticing," the expert explained. "Normally, 20p coins have the date on the back, but if you check and there's no date on either side then you might be holding the rare one.

专家解释说：“这就是我们所说的m子错误，当使用不匹配的染料时，这是我们注意到的，而没有任何人注意到。” “通常，有20p硬币的日期在后面，但是如果您检查并且任何一侧都没有约会，那么您可能会持有罕见的日期。

"These 20p coins are rare, but not impossible to find. In average condition they go for £60 plus. People are still finding them in their change even 15 years later - so if you pay with cash, check every 20p."

“这20便士硬币很少见，但并非不可能找到。在平均情况下，他们的价格为60英镑。甚至15年后，人们仍在发现它们的变化 - 因此，如果您用现金付款，请每20便士检查一次。”

He closed by advising that only 50,000 of these coins made it into circulation, which may sound like a lot, but is a "drop in the ocean" for UK coinage.

他结束了建议，只有50,000个这些硬币使其流通，这听起来很像，但对于英国造币来说是“掉入海洋”。

More signs your coin could be valuable

更多的迹象表明您的硬币可能很有价值

1. Mint errors: Look for coins with minting mistakes, such as doubles dies (designs appearing twice), off-centre strikes, blank planchets, or overstrikes. These errors often make coins highly sought after by collectors.

1。薄荷错误：寻找带有薄荷错误的硬币，例如双打模具（设计出现了两次），偏心罢工，空白的倾斜或过度交流。这些错误通常会使收藏家高度追捧硬币。

2. Misprints: Coins with misspelled words, dates, or other irregularities.

2.错误印刷：带有拼写词，日期或其他违规行为的硬币。

3. Time: Older coins, particularly those issued centuries ago, can be rare, but not all old coins are valuable. Rare historical coins, especially from limited production runs or old empires, may be worth more.

3.时间：年龄较大的硬币，尤其是几个世纪前发布的硬币可能很少，但并非所有旧硬币都是有价值的。稀有的历史硬币，尤其是从有限的生产或旧帝国中获得的稀有硬币，可能值得更多。

4. Historic significance: Coins tied to significant events or periods, such as certain monarchs’ reigns, can also hold value.

4。历史意义：与重大事件或时期相关的硬币，例如某些君主的统治，也可以具有价值。

5. Limited production: Coins with a small number of copies minted or those that were only issued for a short period are typically more valuable.

5。有限的生产：造成少量拷贝或仅在短期内发行的硬币通常更有价值。

6. Rareness of year: Certain years are more valuable than others, especially if fewer coins were struck that year.

6。年份的稀有度：某些年份比其他年份更有价值，尤其是当那年击中硬币较少的情况下。
