罕见的 50 便士硬币在 eBay 上涨价

A Warrington resident has seized the opportunity to capitalize on a rare 50-pence coin discovered in their possession, listing it on eBay for a substantial premium. The numismatic specimen is offered for £23, excluding postage of £2.70, or can be collected directly from the seller's Warrington abode free of charge.

一名沃灵顿居民抓住了这个机会，将他们手中发现的一枚罕见的 50 便士硬币变现，并在 eBay 上以高价出售。钱币样本的售价为 23 英镑，不含 2.70 英镑的邮费，或者可以直接从卖家位于沃灵顿的住所免费领取。

The rarity of this particular 50-pence coin stems from its off-center alignment, a characteristic that distinguishes it as the scarcest among the 29 commemorative pieces minted in 2011 to celebrate the 2012 London Olympics. Popularly known as the "offside rule 50p," the coin is described as being in "good condition."

这枚特殊的 50 便士硬币的稀有性源于其偏心排列，这一特征使其成为 2011 年为庆祝 2012 年伦敦奥运会而铸造的 29 枚纪念币中最稀有的一枚。这枚硬币俗称“越位规则 50 便士”，被描述为“状况良好”。

The genesis of the commemorative coin collection can be traced back to a competition hosted by the Royal Mint, which invited the public to submit their design concepts. An impressive 30,000 entries were received, of which 29 designs were selected for production.

该纪念币系列的起源可以追溯到英国皇家造币厂举办的一次竞赛，邀请公众提交他们的设计理念。共收到 30,000 件参赛作品，其中 29 件设计被选中进行制作。

"In preparation for the 2012 London Olympics," elaborated a Royal Mint spokesperson, "the Royal Mint hosted a coin-design competition to create a series of 50-pence coins with an Olympic sports theme. The competition was open to all, resulting in 29 coins and introducing the youngest-ever designer of United Kingdom coinage, a mere nine years old. While the archery coin by Piotr Powaga boasted the highest mintage of 3,345,500, the wrestling coin by Roderick Enriquez had the lowest, with only 1,129,500 produced. Thus, each of these Olympic coins constitutes a rare and enticing addition to any collection."

“为了准备 2012 年伦敦奥运会，”皇家造币厂发言人详细阐述道，“皇家造币厂举办了一次硬币设计竞赛，设计了一系列以奥林匹克运动为主题的 50 便士硬币。该竞赛向所有人开放，最终获得了29枚硬币，并介绍了英国历史上最年轻的硬币设计师，年仅九岁。彼得·波瓦加设计的射箭硬币的发行量最高，为3,345,500枚，而罗德里克·恩里克斯设计的摔跤硬币的发行量最低，仅生产了1,129,500枚。 ，每一枚奥运硬币都是任何收藏中的稀有且诱人的补充。”

The Royal Mint advises potential sellers aiming to profit from rare coins on the secondary market to consider the collectible's mintage, as low mintage often translates to increased value. Collectors are encouraged to research circulation figures before committing to a purchase and seek expert guidance if necessary.

英国皇家造币厂建议那些想从二级市场上的稀有硬币中获利的潜在卖家考虑收藏品的发行量，因为发行量低通常意味着价值增加。我们鼓励收藏家在决定购买之前研究发行量，并在必要时寻求专家指导。
