是什么让硬币有价值？这枚 50 便士硬币已成为英国最有价值、最具收藏价值的硬币，其七边形画布上出现了许多具有收藏价值的设计。

The 50p Royal Mint coin, which was released to mark the anniversary of the American moon landings, is not in general circulation and is therefore highly sought-after by collectors.

英国皇家造币厂为纪念美国登月周年而发行的 50 便士硬币并未广泛流通，因此受到收藏家的追捧。

Official figures for the mintage (number of coins produced) have not been released by the Royal Mint, but because the coin was never released to the general population, it is likely to be one of the rarest 50p coins on the market.

英国皇家造币厂尚未公布发行量（硬币生产数量）的官方数据，但由于该硬币从未向普通大众发行过，因此它很可能是市场上最稀有的 50 便士硬币之一。

The uncirculated coin was recently purchased from a seller in Malvern for an eye-watering £29.99.

The buyer also paid an extra £2.25 for second-class postage.

It was never intended to enter general circulation, so if you're lucky enough to find this coin, you might want to consider buying a lottery ticket.

它从未打算进入一般流通，所以如果您足够幸运找到这枚硬币，您可能需要考虑购买彩票。

The coins are still legal tender and can be spent on goods, but very few will ever enter circulation as they have skyrocketed in price since they were released.

这些硬币仍然是法定货币，可以用来购买商品，但很少会进入流通，因为它们自发行以来价格飞涨。

其 27.5 毫米的直径使其成为英国硬币中最大的，并且为装饰图片留出了空间。英国过去50年历史上经常用它来庆祝重大事件。

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.

最稀有的硬币往往具有最大的价值，其发行量（每种设计的硬币数量）是对收藏家的基本吸引力。

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.

除了设计之外，硬币增值的其他方面还包括硬币的状况以及设计是否存在错误。

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 - 虽然一些硬币收藏家会在 eBay 或拍卖会上出高价，但其他人则选择通过硬币经销商出售来获得更稳健的估值。
