有些硬币在铸造时存在错误,这使得它们不仅稀有,而且对于合适的收藏家来说也非常有价值。一枚 20 便士硬币,1983 年铸造
Some coins are made with minting errors which make them not only rare, but also extremely valuable to the right collector. One 20p coin, minted back in 1983, was made on a copper-coloured blank my mistake, creating a rare bronze 20p. These coins are much sought after by collectors and are far more valuable than their 20p face value. One such coin sold on eBay this week for £232, more than 1,000 times its face value, after inspiring a mini bidding war and inspiring 28 bids.
有些硬币在铸造时存在错误,这使得它们不仅稀有,而且对于合适的收藏家来说也非常有价值。一枚 20 便士硬币于 1983 年铸造,我的错误是在铜色毛坯上铸造的,创造了一枚罕见的青铜 20 便士硬币。这些硬币深受收藏家的追捧,其价值远高于 20 便士的面值。本周,一枚此类硬币在 eBay 上以 232 英镑的价格售出,这是其面值的 1000 多倍,引发了一场小型竞价战并引发了 28 次出价。
What makes a coin valuable? 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.
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。其 27.5 毫米的直径使其成为英国硬币中最大的,并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. 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. 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.
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。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。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。
