麥可解釋說，「這枚 2 便士硬幣可能能賣到 500 英鎊。

"So the reason is it's a 1983 coin, and this is supposed to say two pence on here," demonstrating the 'tails' side of the coin, "so up until 1982, they all said new pence, and they were switching over in 1983 to say 'two pence' but the Royal Mint, a little mistake in the Royal Mint, and we like mistakes as coin collectors in the minting process because that means more value."

“所以原因是這是一枚 1983 年的硬幣，這裡應該寫著兩便士，”展示硬幣的“反面”，“所以直到 1982 年，他們都說新便士，而且他們正在轉換1983 年說'兩便士'是皇家造幣廠，皇家造幣廠犯了一個小錯誤，而我們作為硬幣收藏家喜歡在鑄造過程中犯錯誤，因為這意味著更多的價值。

The coin expert adds that there isn't a certain number of how many of these two pence pieces got into circulation.

硬幣專家補充說，這兩枚便士硬幣的具體數量並不清楚。

「所以他們不知道其中有多少被洩露，但數量並不多，而且可能高達 500 英鎊，所以如果你在英國和世界上任何其他可以訪問的地方，一定要留意這些。這些硬幣因為這枚硬幣的價值遠不止兩便士。

In the comments, the expert clarified that more recently some of these special coins minted in error had actually sold for up to £1000 - the condition of the coin can play a big part in how much a collector is willing to pay.

在評論中，專家澄清說，最近一些錯誤鑄造的特殊硬幣實際上售價高達 1000 英鎊——硬幣的狀況對收藏家願意支付的價格起著很大的作用。
