稀有的2p硬币在小猪银行以750英镑的价格出售，粉刷了300英镑的估计

一款罕见的2p硬币震惊了Swindon附近的拍卖商，此前它被预测出售300英镑，但接近一千。

A rare 2p coin has shocked auctioneers near Swindon, after it was predicted to sell for £300, but made closer to a thousand.

一款罕见的2p硬币震惊了Swindon附近的拍卖商，此前它被预测出售300英镑，但接近一千。

The coin, which has gone under the hammer at RWB Auctions, was first found among loose change in a piggy bank in the late 1990s.

1990年代后期，这款硬币已在RWB拍卖会上陷入困境，最初是在一家小猪银行的松散变化中发现的。

The owner noticed that the coin was unusual as it was a silver colour unlike the standard bronze, but kept it as a curiosity until they noticed a similar coin go up for auction in 2025.

所有者注意到硬币是不寻常的，因为它是一种银色，与标准青铜不同，但要保持好奇心，直到他们注意到类似的硬币在2025年进行拍卖。

The seller then got in touch with RWB Auctions, where experts predicted it could be worth £300-400.

然后，卖方与RWB拍卖会取得联系，专家预测，这可能价值300-400英镑。

But the coin's true worth shocked even the most senior members of the auction house, when it went under the hammer on Tuesday, April 23, for a whopping £750.

但是，硬币的真正价值甚至震惊了拍卖行中最高级成员，当时它在4月23日星期二以高达750英镑的价格进行了锤子。

Testing has confirmed that the coin was mistakenly made from cupronickel – the same alloy used for 5ps and 10ps. It's also believed that several more like this are still out there.

测试已经确认硬币是用库帕尼克（Cupronickel）错误制成的，这是5PS和10PS使用的合金。还认为还有更多类似的人仍然存在。

“Keep checking your change!”

Other coins which shocked auctioneers in the sale due to their higher-than-expected value, include a set of rare Isle of Man 10p 'trial coins'.

由于其高额的价值，其他硬币震惊了拍卖商，其中包括一组稀有的Man Isle 10p“试用硬币”。

The coins were hailed by experts as "extremely rare", so it was highly unusual when five of them were collected together in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire.

这些硬币被专家称为“极为罕见”，因此，当其中五个在威尔特郡的皇家沃顿·巴塞特（Royal Wootton Bassett）一起收集时，这是非常不寻常的。

The 10p coins were first created for trial and calibration purposes before the Isle of Man made adjustments to the design and size to align it with the UK's decimal currency, and only 200 of them were ever made.

在人岛对设计和尺寸进行调整之前，首先是为了试用和校准目的而创建的10p硬币，以使其与英国的小数货币保持一致，而其中只有200个。

The coins were predicted to sell for £100-200, but actually fetched £340.

预计这些硬币的售价为100-200英镑，但实际上以340英镑的价格出售。
