稀有的“炸鸡蛋”硬币，可以在eBay上出售超过170英镑

这些硬币不需要从特定日期开始，但仅适用于1英镑和2英镑的硬币。它们被称为稀有的“炸鸡蛋硬币”，因为硬币的中间似乎泄漏到外边缘。

A coin expert is urging Brits to look out for this rare coin with a minting error that resembles a fried egg.

一位硬币专家敦促英国人注意这种稀有的硬币，并带有类似于炸鸡蛋的薄荷误差。

These coins do not need to be from a specific date but only apply to £1 and £2 coins still in circulation. They are dubbed rare "fried egg coins” because of the way the middle of the coin appears to leaks into the outer rim.

这些硬币不需要从特定日期开始，但仅适用于1英镑和2英镑的硬币。它们被称为稀有的“炸鸡蛋硬币”，因为硬币的中间似乎泄漏到外边缘。

Coin Collecting Wizard has shared a video on Instagram informing people about the rare coins, which can be worth hundreds of pounds.

收集巫师的硬币在Instagram上分享了一段视频，向人们通报了稀有硬币，价值数百英镑。

The voice over says: "You could be sat on a fortune if you happen to own a rare fried egg two pound coin - as collectors scramble to buy the £600 rarity. A design error on some of the Royal Mint's Mayflower 2020 coins has left them looking like a runny fried egg as as the middle has spilt out onto the outer rim."

声音上面说：“如果您碰巧拥有稀有的炸鸡蛋两磅硬币，您可能会坐在一笔财富上 - 因为收藏家争先恐后地购买600英镑的稀有性。在某些皇家薄荷的五月花2020年皇家五月花2020币上，设计错误使它们看起来像流式鸡蛋，因为中间已经洒在外部边缘上。”

Coin Collecting Wizard then explains how the coins are meant to have a patterned inner part and a plain outer band, but on some coins, the middle part appears to be running into the outer band.

然后，收集向导的硬币然后解释了硬币是如何具有图案化的内部和一个普通的外带，但是在某些硬币上，中间部分似乎正在进入外带。

He adds: "The coins are still legal tender and the Royal Mint has been contacted for comment.

他补充说：“硬币仍然是法定招标，并且已经联系了皇家薄荷以供评论。

"If you own one of these Mayflower coins, then make sure to check it closely.

“如果您拥有其中一种Mayflower硬币，请确保密切检查它。

"If you spot this error, then you could be in luck as this coin is highly sought-after by collectors and they are known to pay top dollar for them."

“如果您发现这个错误，那么您可能会很幸运，因为这枚硬币是由收藏家备受追捧的，他们众所周知，他们会为他们支付最高的费用。”

Over on eBay, there are multiple versions of this fried egg error coin being sold for upwards of £100. Currently one coin is listed for sale at £310 and one recently sold for £172.

在eBay上，有多种版本的这款油炸鸡蛋错误硬币以100英镑的价格出售。目前，一枚硬币以310英镑的价格出售，最近以172英镑的价格出售。

Many people are discovering these coins and wondering how much they could be worth. One Reddit user took to r/UKcoins to share that they had found one of these rare "fried egg" coins. They wrote: "I’m not a collector at all but I found this in my change from Sainsbury’s and I know it’s quite rare, what’s the value on something like this?"

许多人正在发现这些硬币，并想知道它们值多少。一位Reddit用户乘坐R/UKCoins分享了他们发现了这些罕见的“炸鸡蛋”硬币之一。他们写道：“我根本不是一个收藏家，但是我在塞恩斯伯里（Sainsbury's）的变化中发现了这一点，而且我知道这很少见，对类似的东西有什么价值？”

Comments on the thread included: "Start at £100 and ask for bids. If nobody bites, you aren't losing anything. As a collector, I'd probably only pay about 40 at most. Good Luck."

该线程的评论包括：“起价为100英镑，要求出价。如果没人咬人，您不会失去任何东西。作为收藏家，我最多只能支付40款。祝您好运。”

Another Reddit user responded: "Average actual sale price for these is around £100 on ebay, seeing listings for £150-200 means it isnt selling for that price - auction starting at £100 seems a good way to go as another comment mentioned. Nice coin though!"

另一位Reddit用户回答说：“ eBay上的平均实际销售价格约为100英镑，以150-200英镑的价格看到列表意味着它的价格并不以该价格出售 - 拍卖起价为100英镑，似乎是另一种评论的好方法。虽然提到了另一项评论。虽然不错的硬币！”

One person, who has spotted these coins without knowing their value, wrote: "Wish I knew this was a valuable mistake… gave away so many in change when working in the pub.

一个人在不知道其价值的情况下发现了这些硬币的人写道：“希望我知道这是一个有价值的错误……在酒吧工作时抛弃了很多变化。

"I even had one recently where the centre silver part had somehow broken from the outer golden part and could spin around. I don’t even know how that happens, or if it’s valuable, but this sub randomly popping up once a week really makes me need to check my change more often."

“我什至最近有一个中心的银色部分从外部金色的部分中折断了，可能会旋转。我什至不知道这是怎么发生的，或者是否有价值，但是这个次数每周随机弹出一次确实使我需要更频繁地检查自己的变化。”
