Kew Gardens作品在最近在eBay上的拍賣中獲取了107英鎊。它總共獲得了15個投標，並以50英鎊的價格獲得了兩倍以上的起價。

The coin, which comes with a 2009 date on the tails side, when it was first struck, is classed as one of the rarest 50ps in general circulation.

只有210,000個硬幣是鑄造的。

The piece features the late Queen Elizabeth’s profile on the heads side and the Chinese Pagoda found in Kew Gardens on the other side.

這件作品的特色是已故的伊麗莎白女王在頭側的個人資料，另一側的鑰匙花園中發現了中國寶塔。

There is also a 2019-dated coin of the same design, but the 2009 version is classed as rarer and much more valuable.

The original 2009 piece was designed by famous British artist Christopher Le Brun.

最初的2009年作品是由著名的英國藝術家克里斯托弗·勒·布倫（Christopher Le Brun）設計的。

How to spot a rare coin

如何發現稀有硬幣

A coin is usually classed as rare due to two factors - how many of it were struck or if it is an "error" coin.

由於有兩個因素，通常將硬幣歸類為罕見 - 其中有多少個因素或它是“誤差”硬幣。

For example, the 2009 Kew Gardens 50p is considered valuable because only 210,000 were minted and put into circulation.

例如，2009年桶裝花園50便士被認為是有價值的，因為只有210,000人被鑄造並流通。

The same goes for the Atlantic Salmon, with only 200,000 having been put into circulation in 2023.

大西洋鮭魚也是如此，2023年只有200,000次流通。

A coin is classed as an "error" piece if something went wrong during the manufacturing process and the coin was struck incorrectly.

如果在製造過程中出現了問題，並且硬幣被錯誤擊中，則將硬幣歸類為“錯誤”。

These types of coins are fewer and far between than those with lower mintage figures, which can make them super valuable.

這些類型的硬幣比具有較低的鑄造量的硬幣要少，並且可以使它們超級有價值。

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售價2英鎊的錯誤硬幣過去曾以最高1,000英鎊的價格出售。

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.

眾所周知，銅牌20p硬幣的售價高達750英鎊，而錯誤的1英鎊硬幣則以1,000英鎊的價格出售。

How to sell a rare coin

如何出售稀有硬幣

You’ve got three main options: in auction, on eBay or on Facebook Marketplace.

您有三個主要選擇：在拍賣中，在eBay上或在Facebook市場上。

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.

銷售稀有硬幣的最安全方法在拍賣會上很有可能。您可以通過Royal Mint的收藏家服務來組織此功能。

It has a team of experts who can help you authenticate and value your coin.

它有一個專家團隊，可以幫助您對硬幣進行身份驗證和重視。

You can get in touch via email and a member of the valuation team will get back to you.

您可以通過電子郵件取得聯繫，估值團隊的成員將與您聯繫。

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

不過，您將獲得該服務的費用 - 費用取決於收藏的大小。

If you are selling on eBay, make sure you list the coin's price accurately.

如果您在eBay上出售，請確保准確列出硬幣的價格。

You can do this by checking how much other sellers have sold the same piece for.

您可以通過檢查其他賣家賣出同一件作品來做到這一點。

It's pointless listing a rare 50p for £100 if people have only been willing to pay £50 for it previously, for example.

例如，如果人們以前只願意為此支付50英鎊，則毫無意義地列出了50便士的稀有50便士。

Finally, you can sell on Facebook Marketplace, but be wary of scammers trying to get you to transfer money to dodgy accounts.

最後，您可以在Facebook Marketplace上出售，但要警惕試圖讓您將資金轉移到狡猾的帳戶的騙子。

It can be easier to meet buyers in person and get cash for your coin, but only in daylight and in a public place.

親自見到買家並為您的硬幣獲得現金可能會更容易，但只有在日光和公共場所。

In any case, if you're selling on eBay or Facebook, decent pictures will help the coin sell for the best price.

無論如何，如果您在eBay或Facebook上出售，那麼不錯的圖片將有助於以最優惠的價格出售硬幣。
