A RARE detail on a first edition 50p coin could reveal it's worth up to £2,000.

首版 50 便士硬幣上的罕見細節可能表明其價值高達 2,000 英鎊。

Rare coins can be found in your spare change and are sometimes worth a small fortune.

您可以在零錢中找到稀有硬幣，有時價值不菲。

Generally, a piece will be considered rare if a low amount was struck and put into circulation or if it was pressed incorrectly.

一般來說，如果一枚作品的鑄造量較低並投入流通，或者壓制不正確，那麼該作品將被視為稀有。

One coin meets both these criteria, with just hundreds made and featuring an error detail on one side.

一枚硬幣符合這兩個標準，僅生產了數百枚，並且一側有錯誤細節。

The "Lines Over Face" Aquatics 50p was first struck in 2011, with 600 put into circulation.

The coin features lines across a swimmers' face which makes it incredibly rare and sought after, with bidders willing to pay over the odds for one.

這枚硬幣的特徵是游泳者臉上的線條，這使得它極其罕見並受到追捧，競標者願意支付更高的價格來購買一枚。

In one recent video, TikTok creator and coin collecting fanatic CoinCollectingWizard revealed how the piece can sell for as much as £2,000.

在最近的一段影片中，TikTok 創作者兼硬幣收集狂熱者 CoinCollectingWizard 透露了這件作品如何能賣到 2,000 英鎊。

He explained: "If you find an Aquatic 50p error coin with lines over the face it could be worth a small fortune.

他解釋說：「如果你發現一枚 50 便士的 Aquatic 硬幣，正面有線條，那麼它可能值一大筆錢。

"A small handful of this original design was put into circulation but it was then adapted very quickly to show the face above the water.

「這個原始設計的一小部分被投入流通，但隨後很快就被修改以顯示水面之上的臉。

"With so few of the original design out there it's meant the coin's value has been pushed up significantly."

“由於原始設計很少，這意味著硬幣的價值已大幅上漲。”

It's worth bearing in mind, if you stumble across a Lines Over Face Aquatics 50p, you might not get as much as £2,000 for it.

How to spot a rare coin

如何識別稀有硬幣

A coin is usually classed as rare if a limited amount were struck, or a manufacturing error occurred when they were being made.

如果一枚硬幣的鑄造數量有限，或者在製造過程中出現了製造錯誤，那麼該硬幣通常被歸類為稀有硬幣。

A low mintage figure, which is set by The Royal Mint, relates to how many of a coin were made.

皇家造幣廠設定的低發行量數字與硬幣的鑄造數量有關。

Generally, the lower that figure, the more buyers are willing to pay for it, although this isn't always the case.

一般來說，這個數字越低，越多的買家願意為此付費，儘管情況並非總是如此。

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

您可以在皇家造幣廠的網站上了解哪些硬幣是稀有的以及它們的外觀。

The Change Checker website has scarcity indices too - these tell you how many of a particular coin were minted.

Change Checker 網站也有稀缺指數 - 這些指數可以告訴您特定硬幣的鑄造數量。

When it comes to error coins, how much you'll get for them varies from piece to piece.

對於錯誤硬幣，您能得到的價格因枚而異。

For example, the HG Wells £2 error coin has been known to sell for up to £1,000 in the past.

例如，HG Wells 2 英鎊錯誤硬幣過去的售價高達 1,000 英鎊。

Bronze 20p coins have been known to sell for up to £750 as well while error £1 coins have been known to go for £1,000s.

據了解，20 便士的青銅硬幣售價也高達 750 英鎊，而誤差 1 英鎊硬幣的售價則高達 1,000 英鎊。

How to sell a rare coin

如何出售稀有硬幣

You can sell a rare coin on eBay, Facebook, or in an auction.

您可以在 eBay、Facebook 或拍賣會上出售稀有硬幣。

If you're selling on Facebook, there are risks attached.

如果您在 Facebook 上銷售，就會有風險。

Sellers have previously been targeted by scammers on Facebook pretending to need a courier to pick a coin up and asking for payment, but it's a ruse and the courier is never sent.

賣家先前曾在 Facebook 上成為騙子的目標，假裝需要快遞員來取幣並要求付款，但這是一個詭計，快遞員從未發送。

To avoid this happening, it's always best to meet a Facebook seller in-person when buying or selling anything.

為了避免這種情況發生，在購買或出售任何商品時最好親自與 Facebook 賣家會面。

Ensure it's a public meeting spot that's in a well-lit area and if you can, avoid using payment links.

確保這是一個光線充足的公共聚會地點，如果可以的話，避免使用付款連結。

Most sellers prefer to deal with cash directly when meeting to ensure it's legitimate.

大多數賣家喜歡在見面時直接處理現金，以確保其合法性。

The safest way to sell a rare coin is more than likely at auction. You can organise this with The Royal Mint's Collectors Service.

You will be charged for the service though - the cost varies depending on the size of your collection.
