A RARE penny could be the key to a fortune, if you’re lucky enough to have one in your possession.

如果您有幸拥有一笔钱，那可能是一分钱的钥匙。

The 1933 coin is one of the 10 rarest coins in the UK and is worth a whopping £130,000.

1933年的硬币是英国10个最稀有的硬币之一，价值高达130,000英镑。

One avid coin collector shared his knowledge about the rare penny, including that there is only seven known to be in existence.

一位狂热的硬币收藏家分享了他对稀有一分钱的认识，包括只有七个已知存在。

The Coin Collecting Wizard on TikTok gave people an insight into what makes this penny so valuable.

Tiktok上收集向导的硬币使人们了解了使这一分钱如此有价值的原因。

“This is the 1933 pre-decimal penny from the United Kingdom, so make sure you check your grandad's old coin collection and keep an eye out for this date,” he said in a new TikTok, referring to the year 1933.

他在新的蒂克托克（Tiktok）中说：“这是1933年的英国少年前一分钱，因此请确保您检查爷爷的旧硬币收藏品，并留意这一日期。”

“Do you have this coin from 1933. If so, you are rich?”

“从1933年开始，您有这枚硬币吗？如果是的话，您有钱吗？”

He said that while “there are other dates to look out for too,” of rare coins, none are “going to have the crazy value of the 1933 penny,” and the reason for that is because there are only seven are known to exist.

他说，虽然“还有其他日期也需要注意”，但稀有硬币中没有一个“将拥有1933 Penny的疯狂价值”，其原因是因为只有七个存在七个。

The reason there were so few is because this penny was not intended for general circulation.

之所以很少，是因为这一分钱不是打算用于一般循环的。

Instead, it was struck for ceremonial purposes, such as being placed under the foundation stones of important buildings.

取而代之的是，它是出于仪式目的而击中的，例如被放置在重要​​建筑物的基础下。

“So, if you find one, you are extremely lucky, but that doesn't necessarily mean there are no other dates to look for because there is,” Coin Collecting Wizard continued.

“因此，如果您找到一个，您将非常幸运，但这并不一定意味着没有其他日期可以寻找，”收集巫师的硬币继续说道。

Coin Collecting Wizard often posts about interesting coin facts on TikTok and in one video ran through the most valuable pennies.

收集巫师的硬币经常发布有关Tiktok上有趣的硬币事实的文章，并在一个视频中浏览了最有价值的便士。

Speaking in the video, he urged viewers to “stop what you're doing and listen”.

他在视频中发表讲话时敦促观众“停止正在做的事情并倾听”。

He said: “Did you know there are old pennies worth thousands of pounds?”

他说：“你知道有价值数千英镑的旧便士吗？”

In some cases, the extremely rare 1p pieces have sold for a whopping £200,000.

在某些情况下，极为罕见的1便士售价高达20万英镑。

Bear in mind though, that you might not always get such a hefty amount for a rare coin.

不过请记住，您可能并不总是能得到如此稀有的硬币。

The design of the coin, its condition and whether or not the coin is in circulation also affects how much it could be worth.

硬币的设计，其状况以及硬币是否流通也会影响其价值。

消费者编辑爱丽丝·格拉恩斯（Alice Grahns）的评论：

It’s easy to check if items in your attic are valuable.

很容易检查阁楼中的物品是否有价值。

As a first step, go on eBay to check what other similar pieces, if not the same, have sold for recently.

作为第一步，请在eBay上检查最近出售的其他类似作品，即使不是一样。

Simply search for your item, filter by “sold listings” and toggle by the highest value.

只需搜索您的项目，通过“已出售清单”过滤，然后按最高值切换。

This will give you an idea of how much others are willing to pay for it.

这将使您了解其他人愿意为此付出多少。

The method can be used for everything ranging from rare coins and notes to stamps, old toys, books and vinyl records - just to mention a few examples.

该方法可用于从稀有硬币和注释到邮票，旧玩具，书籍和乙烯基记录的所有内容 - 仅提及一些例子。

For coins, online tools from change experts like Coin Hunter are also helpful to see how much it could be worth.

对于硬币而言，诸如Coin Hunter之类的变革专家的在线工具也很有帮助，可以看到它的价值。

Plus, you can refer to Change Checker’s latest scarcity index update to see which coins are topping the charts.

另外，您可以参考更改Checker的最新稀缺索引更新，以查看哪些硬币占据了图表。

For especially valuable items, you may want to enlist the help of experts or auction houses.

对于特别有价值的物品，您可能需要寻求专家或拍卖行的帮助。

Do your research first though and be aware of any fees for evaluating your stuff.

不过，请先进行研究，并注意评估您的东西的任何费用。

As a rule of thumb, rarity and condition are key factors in determining the value of any item.

根据经验，稀有性和条件是确定任何项目价值的关键因素。

You’re never guaranteed to make a mint, however.

但是，您永远无法保证制造薄荷。

You can easily figure out how rare a coin is, by checking its mintage figures.

您可以通过检查其铸币型数字来轻松弄清硬币的罕见。

This relates to how many coins were produced by The Royal Mint.

这与皇家造币厂生产了多少硬币有关。

If a coin has a low mintage, it means there's less in circulation and is therefore rarer and it could potentially be worth more than its face value.

如果硬币的铸造量很低，则意味着循环含量较小，因此稀有，它的价值可能超过其面值。

Either way, you'll want to keep an eye out for some in particular which can sell for big numbers.

无论哪种方式，您都需要注意一些可以出售大数字的人。

Plus sometimes specific details can determine how much the penny will sell for - such as if it has an error.

再加上有时特定的细节可以确定一分钱的出售数量 - 例如有错误。
