罕見的 50 便士硬幣可能價值不菲 - 如何發現使其有價值的錯誤

人們被鼓勵翻找零錢，因為一枚罕見的 50 便士硬幣可能價值不菲

People are being urged to check their spare change as a rare 50 pence piece could be worth a small fortune.

人們被敦促檢查自己的零錢，因為一枚罕見的 50 便士硬幣可能價值不菲。

In particular, keep an eye out for a 2017 Benjamin Bunny coin with a distinctive error that might just make you £50 richer.

尤其要留意 2017 年的本傑明兔子硬幣，如果它有一個明顯的錯誤，可能只會讓你多賺 50 英鎊。

Part of a quartet released in 2017 to honor Beatrix Potter's legacy, which also includes Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, and Jeremy Fisher, the Benjamin Bunny coin stands out due to a minting mishap.

本傑明兔子硬幣是2017 年發行的四枚硬幣的一部分，旨在紀念碧翠絲波特的遺產，其中還包括彼得兔、小貓湯姆和傑里米費舍爾，本傑明兔子硬幣因鑄造事故而脫穎而出。

This error results in Queen Elizabeth II appearing to face the wrong direction.

這個錯誤導致伊莉莎白二世女王看起來面向錯誤的方向。

The Coin Collector UK, a coin aficionado with over 160,000 TikTok followers, shared his insights: "Sell this 50p for £40 to £50 if you find the rare error version of the Benjamin Bunny in your change."

擁有超過16 萬TikTok 粉絲的英國硬幣收藏家英國硬幣收藏家分享了他的見解：「如果你在零錢中發現了罕見錯誤版本的本傑明兔子，請將這枚50 便士以40 至50 英鎊的價格出售。

He further detailed the specific error collectors should look for: "You can see on the regular version when we flip the coin around, the Queen is looking directly to the right," he said.

他進一步詳細說明了收藏家應該尋找的具體錯誤：「當我們翻轉硬幣時，你可以在普通版本上看到，女王正在直接看著右邊，」他說。

"However, in 2017 the Royal Mint did end up producing some errors. "

“然而，2017年皇家造幣廠最終確實出現了一些錯誤。”

He added: "You can see where we flip this one round, she's looking upright. This is called a rotation error, they're quite uncommon."

他補充說：“你可以看到我們這一輪翻轉的位置，她看起來是直立的。這被稱為旋轉錯誤，這種情況很罕見。”

Last year, The Sun highlighted a case where one of these coins fetched £40 - a whopping 80 times its face value of 50p.

去年，《太陽報》重點報導了其中一枚硬幣售價 40 英鎊的案例，是其面額 50 便士的 80 倍。

And in 2021, another coin from the same batch was snapped up for an eye-watering £255 on eBay.

2021 年，同批的另一枚硬幣在 eBay 上以令人瞠目結舌的 255 英鎊被搶購一空。

The expert continued: "I've only ever found this one on the Benjamin Bunny, you don't come across these too often on your 50ps. It's usually the £2 coins that have rotation errors."

這位專家繼續說道：“我只在 Benjamin Bunny 上發現過這種硬幣，你在 50ps 上不會經常遇到這種情況。通常是 2 英鎊的硬幣有旋轉錯誤。”

"But it's always worth a check. If you flip it round from the top and the Queen's looking upright or in any other direction other than to the right then it's worth about £40 to £50."

「但它總是值得一試。如果你從頂部翻轉它，女王看起來是直立的，或者是在除右側之外的任何其他方向，那麼它的價值約為 40 至 50 英鎊。”

However, he noted that the standard version of this coin is typically valued at just 50p.

然而，他指出，該硬幣的標準版本通常價值僅為 50 便士。

He explained: "They don't come up for sale too often, but this seems to be the average selling price on eBay. The regular version of the coin without the error is unfortunately only worth 50p as they minted 25 million of these upon release.

他解釋說：「它們並不經常出售，但這似乎是 eBay 上的平均售價。不幸的是，沒有錯誤的普通版硬幣只值 50 便士，因為他們在發行時鑄造了 2500 萬枚。 。
