Generally, a piece will be considered rare if a low amount was struck and put into circulation or if it was pressed incorrectly.

"With so few of the original design out there it's meant the coin's value has been pushed up significantly."

How to spot a rare coin

如何识别稀有硬币

A coin is usually classed as rare if a limited amount were struck, or a manufacturing error occurred when they were being made.

如果一枚硬币的铸造数量有限，或者在制造过程中出现了制造错误，那么该硬币通常被归类为稀有硬币。

A low mintage figure, which is set by The Royal Mint, relates to how many of a coin were made.

皇家造币厂设定的低发行量数字与硬币的铸造数量有关。

Generally, the lower that figure, the more buyers are willing to pay for it, although this isn't always the case.

一般来说，这个数字越低，越多的买家愿意为此付费，尽管情况并非总是如此。

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

您可以在皇家造币厂的网站上了解哪些硬币是稀有的以及它们的外观。

The Change Checker website has scarcity indices too - these tell you how many of a particular coin were minted.

Change Checker 网站也有稀缺指数 - 这些指数可以告诉您特定硬币的铸造数量。

When it comes to error coins, how much you'll get for them varies from piece to piece.

对于错误硬币，您能得到的价格因枚而异。

For example, the HG Wells £2 error coin has been known to sell for up to £1,000 in the past.

例如，HG Wells 2 英镑错误硬币过去的售价高达 1,000 英镑。

Bronze 20p coins have been known to sell for up to £750 as well while error £1 coins have been known to go for £1,000s.

据了解，20 便士的青铜硬币售价也高达 750 英镑，而误差 1 英镑硬币的售价则高达 1,000 英镑。

How to sell a rare coin

如何出售稀有硬币

You can sell a rare coin on eBay, Facebook, or in an auction.

If you're selling on Facebook, there are risks attached.

Sellers have previously been targeted by scammers on Facebook pretending to need a courier to pick a coin up and asking for payment, but it's a ruse and the courier is never sent.

卖家此前曾在 Facebook 上成为骗子的目标，假装需要快递员来取币并要求付款，但这是一个诡计，快递员从未发送。

To avoid this happening, it's always best to meet a Facebook seller in-person when buying or selling anything.

Ensure it's a public meeting spot that's in a well-lit area and if you can, avoid using payment links.
