What makes a coin valuable?

是什么使硬币有价值？

The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas. Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history.

50便士的作品已成为英国最有价值和收集最多的硬币，其七角形画布上出现了许多可收藏的设计。它的直径为27.5毫米，使其成为任何英国硬币中最大的，并为装饰图片提供了空间。在英国历史的过去50年中，它经常被用来庆祝大型活动。

The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors. Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design.

最稀有的硬币往往具有最大的价值，而铸造（每种设计的硬币数量）是收藏家的基本吸引力。与设计一起，硬币的其他方面增加了价值的条件以及其设计是否有错误。

The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin’s value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on ebay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer.

出售的方式也可以决定硬币的价值 - 而一些硬币收藏家将在eBay或拍卖会上竞标大量资金，而其他硬币则通过通过硬币经销商出售而选择了更多可靠的估值。
