TikTok coin guru Coin Collecting Wizard, who's real name is Barry Graham, has sent collectors into a frenzy with his latest video, in which he explains what to look out for.

Tiktok Coin Guru Coin Coin收集了巫師，他的名字是Barry Graham，他用他的最新視頻使收藏家陷入了狂熱，他在其中解釋了要尋找的東西。

In the video he explains: "It is a hard to spot error affecting the edge of the coin that has attracted interest from collectors."

他在視頻中解釋說：“很難發現影響收藏家興趣的硬幣邊緣的錯誤。”

It should have "what a piece of work is man" inscribed on the side of the coin, which is a line from Hamlet, but coin collectors have noticed some seem to have the wrong inscription.

它應該在硬幣的側面上刻有“什麼是人的作品”，這是哈姆雷特的一條線，但是硬幣收集者已經註意到有些人似乎刻有錯誤的銘文。

They instead read "for king and country", which is the phrase that's supposed to be on the Royal Mint's First World War £2 issued in 2016 to commemorate the role of the army in WWI.

他們取而代之的是“ For King and Country”，這是本來應該在2016年發行的皇家造幣廠第2次世界大戰中的一句話，以紀念陸軍在第一次世界大戰中的作用。

He adds that: "Mint errors like this one can add significant value to common coins.

他補充說：“這樣的薄荷錯誤可以為普通硬幣增加重要的價值。

"Several incorrect edge errors are known on £2 coins with the edge swapped for another belonging to a coin minted in the same year."

“在2英鎊的硬幣上聞名了幾個不正確的邊緣錯誤，而邊緣將另一個屬於同一年鑄造的硬幣的邊緣換成。”

Excited viewers flooded the comments, with one revealing: “I have five of these.”

興奮的觀眾淹沒了評論，其中一份揭示了：“我有五個。”

Another user chimed in, saying: “I have three.”

另一位用戶說：“我有三個。”

A third simply added: “I have this.”

三分之一簡單地補充說：“我有這個。”

Last month, the Coin Collector UK explained on TikTok that one of the botched coins sold for £123 in 2024.

上個月，英國硬幣收藏家在蒂克托克（Tiktok）上解釋說，其中一枚爆炸的硬幣在2024年以123英鎊的價格售出。

The condition of the coin is also likely to have an impact, with collectors preferring those without scratches and signs of wear and tear.

硬幣的狀況也可能會產生影響，收藏家更喜歡那些沒有划痕和磨損跡象的收藏家。

It's worth having a look just in case you have one in your pocket or purse.

值得一看的是，以防萬一您的口袋或錢包裡有一個。

A coin is only ever worth what someone is willing to pay at the time though, and demand can vary over time.

硬幣只能值得某人當時願意支付的費用，並且需求會隨著時間而變化。

Previously we've spotted the coin going for as much as £230.

以前，我們發現硬幣的價格高達230英鎊。

Rare coins could sell for more if a collector needs one to complete a collection, for example.

例如，如果收藏家需要一個完成收藏品，稀有硬幣可以出售更多。

A coin is usually considered rare if it has a low mintage figure - this is set by The Royal Mint.

如果硬幣具有低鑄造量，則通常認為是罕見的 - 這是由皇家造幣廠設定的。

A mintage figure relates to how many of a coin were made, so the lower it is the rarer the coin is.

鑄造量與製成了多少硬幣有關，因此硬幣越少。

You can find out what coins are rare and how they look on The Royal Mint's website.

您可以找出罕見的硬幣以及它們在皇家造幣廠網站上的外觀。

But some are also considered rare due to manufacturing errors, like this Shakespeare tragedy coin.

但是由於製造錯誤，例如莎士比亞悲劇硬幣也被認為很少見。

Mintage figures show that there are around 4.6million of these coins in circulation but it's not known how many of these are error coins.

鑄幣數字顯示，循環中的這些硬幣大約有460萬，但尚不知道其中有多少個是錯誤硬幣。

One of the most famous error coins - an Olympic swimming 50p from 2012 - sold for £410 in 2020.

最著名的錯誤硬幣之一 - 2012年的奧林匹克游泳50便士 - 2020年以410英鎊的價格售出。

In 2024, Coin Collecting Wizard revealed images of seldom-seen change that could bag you hundreds of pounds.

在2024年，收集巫師的硬幣揭示了很少見的變化的圖像，這些變化可能會使您數百磅。

RARE and valuable coins can go for a hefty sum - but how do you know if your coin is the result of a genuine minting error?

稀有且有價值的硬幣可以賺取巨額資金 - 但是您如何知道您的硬幣是否是真正的鑄造錯誤的結果？

The best way to find out if you have an error coin is to send it to the Royal Mint museum, which will analyse it and see if it is a result of a genuine minting error or not.

找出您是否有錯誤硬幣的最佳方法是將其發送到皇家薄荷博物館，該博物館將分析它，並查看它是否是真正的鑄造錯誤的結果。

It'll normally take a couple of weeks to get the results back to you.

通常需要幾個星期才能將結果恢復給您。

But remember, there's a difference between a genuine error coin and one that is just imperfect, for example with a design that is not as clear as you'd expect.

但是請記住，真正的錯誤硬幣和根本不完美的錯誤之間存在區別，例如，設計不像您預期​​的那樣清晰。

And whatever you do, don't be tempted to splash your cash without evidence from the Mint confirming that it's a genuine error.

無論您做什麼，都不要不願意在造幣廠中沒有證據表明這是一個真正的錯誤。

The collector explained that the 1894 predecimal penny "easily sells" for over £160 if it's in "extrafine condition".

收藏家解釋說，如果它處於“外界狀態”狀態，則1894年的前一分錢“很容易出售”以160英鎊的價格出售。

The coin depicts Queen Victoria facing left on one side and the Helmed Britannia seated facing right on the reverse.

硬幣描繪了維多利亞女王的一側朝向左側，而朝出的不列顛尼亞坐在右邊。

The collector from Sunderland previously told The Sun that he has an entire room dedicated to his "very large collection" including "uncirculated, circulated and proof coins including gold and silver".

來自桑德蘭（Sunderland）的收藏家此前曾告訴《太陽報》（Sun），他擁有一個整個房間，專門針對他的“非常大的收藏”，包括“未流通，循環和證明硬幣，包括黃金和銀色”。

The coin expert, who also describes himself as a history enthusiast, goes by the name of "Coin Collecting Wizard" on social media and regularly shares details on some of the rarest coins that could see you pocket quite a bit of money.

硬幣專家也將自己描述為歷史愛好者，以社交媒體上的“硬幣收集嚮導”為名，並定期分享一些最稀有的硬幣的詳細信息，這些硬幣可能會看到您有很多錢。

The coin collector said: "I enjoy the hobby very much and also know this will be my children’s inheritance one day too."
