"Well if you have this coin but the silver one, then you are now rich.

“好吧，如果你除了银币之外还有这枚硬币，那么你现在就富有了。

"The pre-decimal three pence was a unit of currency equalling one eightieth of a pound sterling or three pence sterling."

“十进制前的三便士是一种货币单位，等于八十分之一英镑或三便士英镑。”

He added: "It was used in the United Kingdom by the end of King George V reign, the three pence had become unpopular in England because of its small size but it remained popular in Scotland.

他补充道：“到乔治五世国王统治末期，它已在英国使用，三便士因其尺寸小而在英格兰不再受欢迎，但在苏格兰仍然很受欢迎。

"This three pence of 1949 does have a lower mintage and can fetch £20 plus today depending on condition.

“这枚 1949 年的 3 便士硬币的发行量确实较低，根据状况，今天可以卖到 20 英镑以上。

"But there is a very rare three pence which could be worth thousands and it's the silver version dated 1945."

“但是有一枚非常罕见的三便士，价值数千美元，它是 1945 年的银版。”

Owning a 1945 silver three pence could set you back a hefty £62,000.

If you think you own this coin, it's best to reach out to a professional.

如果您认为自己拥有这枚硬币，最好联系专业人士。

There are many ways to work out if you're sitting on a fortune with your rare coin.

有很多方法可以判断您是否拥有稀有硬币。

Firstly, it's worth learning the mintage of the piece as the lower it is, the rarer the coin will be.

首先，值得了解该硬币的发行量，因为发行量越低，硬币就越稀有。

Condition is also an important factor as collectors prefer coins in mint quality, even the slightest fingerprint can reduce a coin's value.

状况也是一个重要因素，因为收藏家更喜欢完好无损的硬币，即使是最轻微的指纹也会降低硬币的价值。

Also the historic significance plays a huge factor.

历史意义也是一个重要因素。

For example, Edward VIII abdicated after only a few months on the throne, so no coins with his image were minted for circulation.

例如，爱德华八世在位仅几个月后就退位了，因此没有铸造带有他形象的硬币进行流通。

And finally, interesting designs can make a coin rare. And even one with an error, like a missing date.

最后，有趣的设计可以使硬币变得稀有。甚至还有一个错误，比如缺少日期。
