一位专家透露，一枚 1945 年的特定硬币最高售价可达 62,000 英镑。

Speaking on social media platform TikTok, an account known as the Coin Collecting Wizard told people to look out for a silver threepence coin, which is also known as a thruppence.

一个名为“硬币收集向导”的账户在社交媒体平台 TikTok 上发表讲话，告诉人们要留意一枚三便士银币，也称为 thruppence。

He said that these are particularly valuable due to their rarity.

他表示，这些物品因其稀有性而显得尤为珍贵。

In a video shared with his more than 200,000 followers, he said: "Stop what you were doing. Did you know, this is the rarest British circulating coin for 200 years and is worth £62,000?

在与超过 20 万粉丝分享的视频中，他说：“停止你正在做的事情。你知道吗，这是 200 年来最稀有的英国流通硬币，价值 62,000 英镑？

"This 1945 silver threepence was recently found by a coin collector in a folder of coins. So it really shows you that you can find rare coins out there."

“这枚 1945 年的三便士银币最近被一位硬币收藏家在一个硬币文件夹中发现。所以它确实表明您可以在那里找到稀有的硬币。”

He explained more about the history of the coin: "The silver threepence had become so unpopular by 1943 and the mint had already changed them in 1937 to the bigger heavier 12-sided nickel brass threepence.

他详细解释了硬币的历史：“到 1943 年，银三便士已经变得非常不受欢迎，造币厂已于 1937 年将其改为更大、更重的 12 面镍黄铜三便士。

"But silver threepences were still being made in 1943 alongside the brass version. In 1945, the silver coin's final year, a mintage of 371,000 pieces was apparently deemed redundant because of public acceptance of the nickel brass version and was ordered to be melted down, its silver to be used in other mint products.

“但是 1943 年，三便士银币仍在与黄铜版本一起生产。1945 年，即银币的最后一年，由于公众接受了镍黄铜版本，371,000 枚的发行量显然被认为是多余的，并被勒令熔化，其银可用于其他铸币产品。

"But as always with these things, some escaped their fate and have been found in random albums around the world and might just be sat in your coin jar. The most recent one found went for £62,000 at auction."

“但与往常一样，有些东西逃脱了命运，在世界各地的随机相册中被发现，可能就放在你的硬币罐里。最近发现的一件在拍卖会上拍出了 62,000 英镑的价格。”
