現在檢查您的20便士，因為罕見的鑄造錯誤可能會使您獲得80英鎊

一位專家呼籲對看似普通的20便士作品的錢包和硬幣收藏進行徹底檢查，價值高達80英鎊。

An ordinary-looking 20p coin could be hiding in your wallet and it might just be worth a small fortune.

看起來有20p的普通硬幣可能藏在您的錢包裡，這可能值得一筆小東西。

At first glance, this coin might not catch your eye, but it harbours a simple minting error that has made it highly coveted by collectors throughout the UK.

乍一看，這枚硬幣可能不會引起您的注意，但是它具有一個簡單的鑄造錯誤，這使其在英國的收藏家中高度垂涎。

Some enthusiasts even refer to it as the "holy grail" of coins.

一些發燒友甚至將其稱為硬幣的“聖杯”。

Remarkably, fewer than a quarter of a million of these coins were produced in 2008, which means you might just find one among your loose change.

值得注意的是，這些硬幣中只有不到四分之一是在2008年生產的，這意味著您可能只會在變化中找到一個。

Now, an expert has called for a thorough check of your coin collections and wallets for this seemingly ordinary 20p piece that could be worth as much as £80.

現在，一位專家呼籲對看似普通的20便士的硬幣收藏和錢包進行徹底檢查，價值高達80英鎊。

Sharing his insights on the social media platform TikTok, an individual known as the Coin Collecting Wizard shed light on the matter: "Your shield 20 pence coin could be worth £50."

在社交媒體平台Tiktok上分享了他的見解，這是一個被稱為“收集嚮導的硬幣”的人：“您的Shield 20 Pence Coin可能價值50英鎊。”

The value of these coins hinges on a particular flaw - the absence of a date.

這些硬幣的價值取決於特定缺陷 - 沒有日期。

He elaborated: "It's all to do with a die mix-up at the Royal Mint, causing the coin to have no date."

他詳細闡述了：“這與皇家薄荷的混合混合有關，使硬幣沒有約會。”

"This issue impacted less than 250,000 coins out of the 136 million 20p pieces minted in 2008 and was a result of pairing the old obverse, or heads side, with the new reverse, or tails side design, which led to the omission of the year of issue," he explained, reports the Mirror.

“這個問題影響了2008年鑄造的1.36億20便士中的25萬個硬幣，這是將舊的正面或頭部與新的反向或尾部設計配對的結果，這導致了這一年的省略關於鏡子的報導，他解釋說。

The coin enthusiast also highlighted the significant demand for these rare pieces: "Considered by many as one of the holy grails of UK change collecting, the undated 20p is always at the top of any coin collector's wish list," he remarked.

硬幣愛好者還強調了對這些稀有作品的重大需求：“許多被許多人認為是英國變化收藏的聖杯之一，未註明日期的20便士總是在任何硬幣收集者的願望清單中都處於頂部。”

The Royal Mint has made history by confirming that for the first time in over three centuries, a coin has been released into circulation without a date, sparking immense interest among numismatists.

皇家造幣廠已經證實了三個世紀以來的第一次，一枚硬幣在沒有約會的情況下被釋放出來，引發了錢幣主義者的巨大興趣。

This undated 20p piece has become highly desirable, with some sellers on eBay fetching £79.99 for the coin, while others have completed transactions at around £50.

這件未註明日期的20便士已變得非常可取，eBay上的一些賣家為硬幣提取了79.99英鎊，而另一些則以50英鎊左右的價格完成了交易。

Highlighting the coin's value, he remarked: "As you can see from these eBay sold prices, the undated 20p is an easy sell for around £50, so always make sure to check those 20p coins."

他強調了硬幣的價值，他說：“正如您可以從這些eBay出售的價格中看到的那樣，未註明日期的20便士售價約50英鎊左右，因此請務必確保檢查那些20便士的硬幣。”

The Royal Mint addressed the anomaly, stating: "In November 2008 a number of 20p coins were incorrectly minted, resulting in the coins being undated. These coins remain legal tender and still have a face value of 20p."

皇家造幣廠對這一異常問題說：“在2008年11月，有許多20便士的硬幣被錯誤鑄造，導致硬幣未註明日期。這些硬幣仍然是法定招標，並且仍然具有20便士的面值。 ”

At the time of writing, some listings on eBay had placed the value of these unique coins as high as £150 and £125.

在撰寫本文時，eBay上的一些列表使這些獨特硬幣的價值高達150英鎊和125英鎊。
