Tiktok Coin Guru Coin Coin收集了巫师，他的名字是Barry Graham，他用他的最新视频使收藏家陷入了狂热，他在其中解释了要寻找的东西。

In the video he explains: "It is a hard to spot error affecting the edge of the coin that has attracted interest from collectors."

他在视频中解释说：“很难发现影响收藏家兴趣的硬币边缘的错误。”

It should have "what a piece of work is man" inscribed on the side of the coin, which is a line from Hamlet, but coin collectors have noticed some seem to have the wrong inscription.

它应该在硬币的侧面上刻有“什么是人的作品”，这是哈姆雷特的一条线，但是硬币收集者已经注意到有些人似乎刻有错误的铭文。

They instead read "for king and country", which is the phrase that's supposed to be on the Royal Mint's First World War £2 issued in 2016 to commemorate the role of the army in WWI.

他们取而代之的是“ For King and Country”，这是本来应该在2016年发行的皇家造币厂第2次世界大战中的一句话，以纪念陆军在第一次世界大战中的作用。

He adds that: "Mint errors like this one can add significant value to common coins.

他补充说：“这样的薄荷错误可以为普通硬币增加重要的价值。

"Several incorrect edge errors are known on £2 coins with the edge swapped for another belonging to a coin minted in the same year."

上个月，英国硬币收藏家在蒂克托克（Tiktok）上解释说，其中一枚爆炸的硬币在2024年以123英镑的价格售出。

It's worth having a look just in case you have one in your pocket or purse.

Rare coins could sell for more if a collector needs one to complete a collection, for example.

例如，如果收藏家需要一个完成收藏品，稀有硬币可以出售更多。

A coin is usually considered rare if it has a low mintage figure - this is set by The Royal Mint.

如果硬币具有低铸造量，则通常认为是罕见的 - 这是由皇家造币厂设定的。

A mintage figure relates to how many of a coin were made, so the lower it is the rarer the coin is.

铸造量与制成了多少硬币有关，因此硬币越少。

You can find out what coins are rare and how they look on The Royal Mint's website.

But some are also considered rare due to manufacturing errors, like this Shakespeare tragedy coin.

Mintage figures show that there are around 4.6million of these coins in circulation but it's not known how many of these are error coins.

铸币数字显示，循环中的这些硬币大约有460万，但尚不知道其中有多少个是错误硬币。

One of the most famous error coins - an Olympic swimming 50p from 2012 - sold for £410 in 2020.

最著名的错误硬币之一 - 2012年的奥林匹克游泳50便士 - 2020年以410英镑的价格售出。

In 2024, Coin Collecting Wizard revealed images of seldom-seen change that could bag you hundreds of pounds.

RARE and valuable coins can go for a hefty sum - but how do you know if your coin is the result of a genuine minting error?

稀有且有价值的硬币可以赚取巨额资金 - 但是您如何知道您的硬币是否是真正的铸造错误的结果？

The best way to find out if you have an error coin is to send it to the Royal Mint museum, which will analyse it and see if it is a result of a genuine minting error or not.

找出您是否有错误硬币的最佳方法是将其发送到皇家薄荷博物馆，该博物馆将分析它，并查看它是否是真正的铸造错误的结果。

It'll normally take a couple of weeks to get the results back to you.

But remember, there's a difference between a genuine error coin and one that is just imperfect, for example with a design that is not as clear as you'd expect.

但是请记住，真正的错误硬币和根本不完美的错误之间存在区别，例如，设计不像您预期​​的那样清晰。

And whatever you do, don't be tempted to splash your cash without evidence from the Mint confirming that it's a genuine error.

无论您做什么，都不要不愿意在造币厂中没有证据表明这是一个真正的错误。
