一個價值成千上萬的硬幣可能坐在您的零錢中。

它不僅是從一個著名的一年開始，而且包含美國最罕見的錯誤之一。

A COIN worth thousands could be sitting in your spare change.

一個價值成千上萬的硬幣可能坐在您的零錢中。

Not only is it from a notable year, but it contains one of the rarest errors American cents can have.

它不僅是從一個著名的一年開始，而且包含美國最罕見的錯誤之一。

Pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters from a variety of years that contain a unique history or minting errors have sold for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars at auction.

在拍賣會拍賣時，多年的便士，鎳，一角錢和四分之一的零售業已經售出了數十萬到數百萬美元。

Uniqueness directly correlates to worth when it comes to coins, and the United States Mint has produced some special additions, whether by accident or on purpose, since it made the first circulating cents in 1793.

獨特性直接與硬幣有關的價值直接相關，而美國造幣廠則產生了一些特殊的補充，無論是偶然還是故意，因為它在1793年達到了第一批流通的美分。

While things first began in Philadelphia, the US Mint has five other locations around the country today: Fort Knox, Denver, San Francisco, Washington DC, and West Point.

當事情始於費城，美國造幣廠今天在全國各地還有其他五個地點：諾克斯堡，丹佛，舊金山，華盛頓特區和西點。

The Mints make coins with two types of “strikes,” either business or proof.

造幣廠製作的硬幣具有兩種類型的“罷工”，無論是企業還是證明。

Business struck coins meant for circulation to be used in American commerce.

商業擊中了用於在美國商業中使用的發行量的硬幣。

Proofs are crafted to be collected, typically containing a shinier surface and having more detail.

精心製作證明是要收集的，通常包含更明亮的表面並具有更多細節。

A proof quarter from 2000 is one to watch out for if you want to make some serious cash.

如果您想賺一些認真的現金，則應提防2000年的證明季度。

It’s actually not even a quarter, as it was supposed to be a one-dollar coin featuring Sacagawea.

實際上，它甚至沒有四分之一，因為它應該是薩卡加維亞（Sacagawea）的一億美元硬幣。

MULE MIXUP

痣混合

They were only struck at the Philadelphia mint in the summer of 1999, with 39 made as a test.

他們只在1999年夏天才在費城造幣廠襲擊，其中39次進行了測試。

Only 12 versions currently reside in Fort Knox.

目前只有12個版本位於諾克斯堡。

Somewhere along the way, the planchets used to make the Sacagawea golden one-dollar coin and those for a standard quarter from 2000 were mixed up, creating what’s called a “mule” error on one specific coin that sold for a whopping $88,125 in 2013, per Heritage Auctions.

在此過程中的某個地方，這些平面物用來使Sacagawea Golden一美元硬幣和2000年的標準四分之一硬幣混合在一起，從而在2013年以高達88,125美元的價格出售了一枚特定的硬幣，造成了所謂的“ m子”錯誤。

The reverse (tails) side of the gold coin contained what it was supposed to: the “ONE DOLLAR” across the bottom, “E Pluribus Unum,” and an American Eagle.

金幣的相反（尾巴）一側包含了應該的內容：底部的“一美元”，“ e pluribus unum”和一隻美國鷹。

Except, on the obverse (heads) side of the coin, there was the quarter strike with former President George Washington and a small “P” stamp for the Philadelphia Mint.

除了硬幣的正面（頭）一側，還有前總統喬治·華盛頓（George Washington）的四分之一罷工，費城造幣廠的小“ P”郵票。

That’s a classic “mule” error, which is essentially mismatching heads and tails sides from other coins.

這是一個經典的“ m子”錯誤，本質上是與其他硬幣的頭部和尾巴不匹配。

This has happened before with Lincoln pennies, where the tails side contains the strike for a Roosevelt dime.

林肯便士以前發生了這種情況，那裡的尾部側麵包含了羅斯福一角錢的罷工。

Those go for thousands at auction as well.

那些也在拍賣會上進行。

QUALITY PRESERVED

保留質量

So not only did the “mule” error make the 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar valuable, but it was also in great shape.

因此，“ m子”錯誤不僅使2000-P Sacagawea美元有價值，而且還處於良好狀態。

The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) awarded it a Mint State (MS) 66.

專業硬幣分級服務（PCGS）授予了薄荷狀態（MS）66。

For reference, the Grading Standards scale goes from one to 70, so a 66 means it’s in very good condition with few scratches or fading.

作為參考，分級標準量表從1到70，因此66意味著它的狀況很好，划痕或褪色很少。

Americans should also remain aware of other coins they could find lying around that are worth some serious money.

美國人還應該意識到他們可以發現的其他硬幣值得一提。

A Lincoln penny with three crucial letters on the back is worth $94,000, for example.

例如，林肯的一分錢，背面有三個重要的信件，價值94,000美元。

There’s even a Liberty nickel that went for $4.5 million, partially due to its “glittering” surface.

甚至有一個自由鎳的價格為450萬美元，部分原因是其“閃閃發光”的表面。
