他們強調了某些硬幣的價值，包括1917年的喬治訴Gold Sovereign。

乍一看，第二次世界大戰的硬幣可能看起來很普通，但是根據塔夫克斯金條的黃金商人的說法，它的狀況良好30,000英鎊。

"Minted during WWI, most of these coins were melted down to settle war debts," the experts wrote in an online blog.

專家在在線博客中寫道：“在第一次世界大戰期間，這些硬幣中的大多數都是融化的，以解決戰爭債務。”

"Today, they’re a testament to wartime sacrifice and economic strategy."

“今天，它們證明了戰時犧牲和經濟戰略。”

During the war, the British government issued bonds to raise funds, with many US investors buying them and receiving interest in gold.

戰爭期間，英國政府發行了債券以籌集資金，許多美國投資者購買了它們並獲得黃金利息。

The Royal Mint suspects that a significant amount of this gold was comprised of coins like the 1917 sovereign, although the exact amount is unknown.

皇家造金懷疑大量黃金由1917年主權等硬幣組成，儘管確切的數量尚不清楚。

"It is also possible that some 1917 London sovereigns were sent to the American government to pay for war debts, as gold sovereigns were commonly used in international trade at the time," experts at the Royal Mint add.

皇家造幣廠的專家補充說：“ 1917年倫敦主權人也有可能被派往美國政府支付戰爭債務，因為當時的黃金主權人通常在國際貿易中使用。”

"These factors contribute to the scarcity of the 1917 gold sovereign struck in London and consequently make it a highly valuable and sought-after coin among collectors."

“這些因素導致了1917年在倫敦遭受的黃金主權的稀缺性，因此使其成為收藏家中高價且備受追捧的硬幣。”

If you don't have a 1917 at home, don't worry. There are plenty more coins worth searching your attic for.

如果您在家中沒有1917年，請不要擔心。還有更多的硬幣值得您搜索您的閣樓。

Take for example a 1933 coin that recently fetched an astonishing £140,000 due to its extreme rarity, with only seven known specimens worldwide.

硬幣價值的聯合創始人克里斯·楊（Chris Yang）先前告訴《星報》：“總而言之，仔細檢查硬幣，對其進行專業識別和分級，並與經驗豐富的錢幣主義者合作，以確定硬幣的真實價值，以便您可以出售它們最佳價格。

"Remember, the thrill of coin collecting isn't always about striking gold; it's about connecting with history and uncovering hidden treasures. Your old coin jar might hold more than just spare change – it could be a portal to a fascinating past."

“請記住，收集硬幣的刺激並不總是關於擊打黃金；這是關於與歷史建立聯繫並揭開隱藏的寶藏。您的舊硬幣罐不僅可以容納備用零錢，而且可能是一個令人著迷的過去的門戶。”

However, he also added: "If the coin you own is highly important, the best practice is to hold onto it unless the need to raise money is urgent. The better issues of these important coins gain in value over time.
