三枚罕见的英国硬币可能价值“高达 72,900 英镑”——您是否因把零钱扔到一边而感到内疚？

Coins Value 联合创始人 Chris Yang 解释说，其中第一个是罕见的 2p 硬币，由于存在明显的错误而特别有价值

Three rare British coins could be worth 'up to £72,900' to the lucky person who finds them down the back of the sofa or in their loose change jar.

对于幸运者来说，三枚罕见的英国硬币价值“高达 72,900 英镑”，如果他们在沙发后面或零钱罐里发现了它们。

Coin specialist Chris Yang, co-founder of Coins Value, has urged the public to keep an eye out for the valuable coins and said that while some may fetch up to five figures, others could be worth around £150.

Coins Value 联合创始人、硬币专家 Chris Yang 敦促公众留意这些有价值的硬币，并表示虽然有些硬币的价格可能高达 5 位数，但其他硬币的价值可能在 150 英镑左右。

He highlighted a rare 2p coin, a 1933 King George V penny and a Kew Gardens 50p coin among those that could fetch the highest prices among collectors.

他重点介绍了一枚罕见的 2 便士硬币、一枚 1933 年乔治五世国王便士和一枚邱园 50 便士硬币，这些硬币可能在收藏家中拍出最高价格。

Here's what to look out for and how much they could be worth if you find them.

以下是需要注意的事项以及如果找到它们的话可能值多少钱。

Rare 2p coin

稀有 2p 硬币

One coin to look out for is a rare 2p coin that's particularly valuable due to a glaring error.

值得留意的一枚硬币是一枚罕见的 2 便士硬币，由于存在明显的错误，它特别有价值。

Issued in 1983, it's unclear how many are currently in circulation, but some suggest they were often part of souvenir sets.

该书于 1983 年发行，目前尚不清楚有多少本在流通，但有人认为它们通常是纪念品套装的一部分。

Due to a minting error, some 1983 2p coins were struck with 'New Pence' on the reverse rather than 'Two Pence', Chris told the Mirror.

克里斯告诉《镜报》，由于铸造错误，一些 1983 年 2 便士硬币的背面印有“新便士”而不是“两便士”。

This mistake makes it quite valuable among collectors and if you do find one, you could be best off selling it at numismatic auction houses or on online marketplaces like eBay.

这个错误使得它在收藏家中非常有价值，如果你确实找到了它，你最好在钱币拍卖行或 eBay 等在线市场上出售它。

At present, Chris estimates that a 1983 New Pence 2p coin can fetch between £500 and £700.

目前，克里斯估计一枚 1983 年新便士 2 便士硬币的售价在 500 至 700 英镑之间。

1933 King George V penny

1933 年乔治五世国王便士

Another coin that could fetch a small fortune if you happen to find it is a 1933 King George V penny.

另一枚 1933 年乔治五世国王便士硬币，如果您碰巧发现的话，也能赚到一笔不菲的钱。

During the 1930s, banks had such a large stock of pennies that there was no need to put any more into general circulation, according to The Royal Mint.

据英国皇家造币厂称，在 20 世纪 30 年代，银行拥有大量便士库存，无需再投入一般流通。

So, 1933 King George V pennies, among others, were buried beneath the foundation stones of new buildings as part of a tradition.

因此，作为传统的一部分，1933 年乔治五世国王的便士等都被埋在新建筑的基石下。

There was a convention at the time that complete sets of coins of the current year were buried under the foundation stones of new buildings, The Royal Mint explains.

英国皇家造币厂解释说，当时有一项惯例，即把当年的整套硬币埋在新建筑的基石下。

"Consequently, three 1933 pennies were struck for buildings erected in that year, along with a small number to be kept as record copies by the British Museum and the Royal Mint Museum."

“因此，为当年建造的建筑物铸造了三枚 1933 年便士，还有少量由大英博物馆和皇家铸币博物馆作为记录副本保存。”

If you're lucky enough to stumble upon a 1933 King George V coin, you could be sitting on a small fortune.

如果您足够幸运，偶然发现一枚 1933 年乔治五世国王硬币，那么您可能会坐拥一笔不小的财富。

Chris Yang suggests that such a coin could fetch up to a whopping £72,000, as one did at an auction in 2016, according to MailOnline.

据《每日邮报》报道，克里斯·杨表示，这样一枚硬币的售价可能高达 72,000 英镑，就像 2016 年拍卖会上的那样。

The value of these rare coins seems to be on the rise too, with one reportedly selling for £40,000 in 2004, and £45,000 in 2006.

这些稀有硬币的价值似乎也在上涨，据报道其中一枚 2004 年售价为 40,000 英镑，2006 年售价为 45,000 英镑。

This is one of the rarest British coins because only a few were ever produced as part of a special minting for record-keeping, Chris continued.

克里斯继续说道，这是最稀有的英国硬币之一，因为只有少数硬币是作为记录保存的特殊铸造的一部分而生产的。

"The rarity and historical significance of the coin makes it highly sought after by collectors.

“这枚硬币的稀有性和历史意义使其备受收藏家追捧。

"...High-end auction houses like Sotheby's or Bonhams would be the best option [to sell] such a rare coin."

“……像苏富比或邦瀚斯这样的高端拍卖行将是[出售]这种稀有硬币的最佳选择。”

Kew Gardens 50p coin

邱园 50 便士硬币

Lastly, Chris highlighted an unusual 50p coin issued in 2009 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens.

最后，Chris 重点介绍了 2009 年为纪念邱园成立 250 周年而发行的一枚不同寻常的 50 便士硬币。

If you've ever visited the gardens, you may recognise the coin's Chinese Pagoda which was originally built in 1762, but freshly restored in 2018.

如果您曾经参观过花园，您可能会认出硬币上的中国宝塔，该塔始建于 1762 年，于 2018 年重新修复。

Only 210,000 coins were minted, making them one of the most sought-after 50p coins in circulation, Chris said.

克里斯说，仅铸造了 210,000 枚硬币，使其成为流通中最受欢迎的 50 便士硬币之一。

"The coin commemorates the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens, featuring the iconic Pagoda."

“这枚硬币是为了纪念邱园建成 250 周年，以标志性的宝塔为特色。”

Chris believes that eBay and the London Coin Company two of the best places to sell these.

克里斯认为 eBay 和伦敦硬币公司是销售这些硬币的两个最佳地点。

Although they can fetch between £150 and £200, it may depend on their condition.

虽然它们的售价在 150 到 200 英镑之间，但这可能取决于它们的状况。
