專家呼籲英國人檢查他們的錢包和硬幣收藏品，看似普通的20便士，價值高達80英鎊

乍一看，這枚硬幣可能不會引起您的注意，但是它藏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

Keep an eye out for this seemingly ordinary 20 pence piece, as it could be worth as much as £80 thanks to a simple minting error.

請注意這一看似普通的20便士件，因為由於簡單的造幣錯誤，它的價值可能高達80英鎊。

At first glance, this coin might not catch your eye, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice that it lacks a date. This minor flaw has made the coin highly sought after by collectors throughout the UK, with some even referring to it as the "holy grail" of coins.

乍一看，這種硬​​幣可能不會引起您的注意，但是在仔細檢查後，您會注意到它沒有約會。這個小的缺陷使硬幣在英國的收藏家中引起了極大的追捧，有些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。

An individual known as the Coin Collecting Wizard, who often shares his numismatic knowledge on the social media platform TikTok, recently brought attention to this valuable coin.

一個被稱為硬幣收集巫師的人，他經常在Tiktok的社交媒體平台上分享他的錢幣知識，最近引起了這一寶貴的硬幣的關注。

In a video, he highlighted the absence of a date on the coin, which is valued at around £50 by many collectors. This is due to a die mix-up at the Royal Mint during the production of the 20p pieces in 2008.

在視頻中，他強調了硬幣上沒有日期，許多收藏家的價值約為50英鎊。這是由於2008年20便士生產期間皇家造幣廠的混合造成的。

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

他解釋說：“這與皇家造幣廠的死亡混合有關，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."

“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問題。”

The coin enthusiast also noted the high demand for these rare pieces, adding: "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."

硬幣愛好者還指出，對這些稀有作品的需求很高，並補充說：“被許多人認為是英國變更收集的聖杯之一，未註明日期的20便士始終是任何硬幣收藏家的願望清單的頂部。”

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

皇家造幣廠已經確認，這是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到流通，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.
