是什麼讓硬幣有價值？這枚 50 便士硬幣已成為英國最有價值、最具收藏價值的硬幣，其七邊形畫布上出現了許多具有收藏價值的設計。

其 27.5 毫米的直徑使其成為英國硬幣中最大的，並為裝飾圖片留出了空間。英國過去50年歷史上經常用它來慶祝重大事件。

The 50p Royal Mint coin, which was released to mark the anniversary of the American moon landings, is not in general circulation and is therefore highly sought-after by collectors.

英國皇家造幣廠為紀念美國登月週年而發行的 50 便士硬幣並未廣泛流通，因此受到收藏家的追捧。

Official figures for the mintage (number of coins produced) have not been released by the Royal Mint, but because the coin was never released to the general population, it is likely to be one of the rarest 50p coins on the market.

英國皇家造幣廠尚未公佈發行量（硬幣生產數量）的官方數據，但由於該硬幣從未向普通大眾發行過，因此它很可能是市場上最稀有的 50 便士硬幣之一。

The uncirculated coin was recently purchased from a seller in Malvern for an eye-watering £29.99.

這枚未流通的硬幣最近被馬爾文的一位賣家以令人瞠目結舌的 29.99 英鎊購買。

The buyer also paid an extra £2.25 for second-class postage.

買家還額外支付了 2.25 英鎊的二等郵資。

The 50p is almost certainly rarer than the coveted Kew Gardens 50p, which has a mintage figure of only 200,000.

幾乎可以肯定，50 便士比令人垂涎的英國皇家植物園 50 便士更為稀有，後者的發行量僅為 20 萬枚。

The Apollo 11 coin was released in 2019 and could only be scooped up through the Royal Mint's website.

阿波羅 11 號硬幣於 2019 年發行，只能透過皇家造幣廠的網站購買。

It was never intended to enter general circulation, so if you're lucky enough to find this coin, you might want to consider buying a lottery ticket.

它從未打算進入一般流通，所以如果您有幸找到這枚硬幣，您可能需要考慮購買彩票。

The coins are still legal tender and can be spent on goods, but very few will ever enter circulation as they have skyrocketed in price since they were released.

這些硬幣仍然是法定貨幣，可以用來購買商品，但很少會進入流通，因為它們自發行以來價格飛漲。

這枚 50 便士硬幣已成為英國最有價值、最具收藏價值的硬幣，其七邊形畫布上出現了許多具有收藏價值的設計。

Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and it allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

其 27.5 毫米的直徑使其成為英國硬幣中最大的，並為裝飾圖片留出了空間。英國過去50年歷史上經常用它來慶祝重大事件。

The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors.

最稀有的硬幣往往具有最大的價值，其發行量（每種設計的硬幣數量）是對收藏家的基本吸引力。

Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design.

除了設計之外，硬幣增值的其他方面還包括硬幣的狀況以及設計是否有錯誤。

The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin’s value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on eBay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer.

出售的方式也可以決定硬幣的價值 - 雖然一些硬幣收藏家會在 eBay 或拍賣會上出高價，但其他人則選擇透過硬幣經銷商出售來獲得更穩健的估值。
