1美元硬幣價值超過1000萬美元

一枚罕見的 1794 年銀元被認為是美國造幣廠最早鑄造的銀元之一，保持著歷史上最昂貴的一美元硬幣的記錄。

A rare 1794 silver dollar, believed to be one of the first to be minted by the United States Mint, is the most expensive one-dollar coin in history.

一枚罕見的 1794 年銀元被認為是美國造幣廠最早鑄造的銀元之一，是歷史上最昂貴的一美元硬幣。

The specimen, known as “Flowing Hair,” features a portrait of Lady Liberty on one side and an eagle on the other. It was last sold for more than $10 million in 2013, breaking the world record at the time for the most ever paid for a rare coin.

該標本被稱為“飄逸的頭髮”，一側是自由女神的肖像，另一側是一隻鷹。它最後一次以超過 1000 萬美元的價格售出是在 2013 年，打破了當時稀有硬幣有史以來最高售價的世界紀錄。

However, the Flowing Hair coin was relegated to second most expensive coin when the 1933 gold “Double Eagle” sold for $18.9 million in 2021.

然而，當 1933 年的「雙鷹」金幣在 2021 年以 1,890 萬美元的價格售出時，流發幣被降為第二昂貴的硬幣。

The Flowing Hair coin is unique because of its exceptional condition and rarity. Only about 150 to 200 of these coins are believed to have been minted, and most of them were melted down over the years. The coin that sold for $10 million in 2013 is one of the finest-known surviving examples of the Flowing Hair dollar.

流發硬幣因其特殊的狀況和稀有性而獨一無二。據信，這些硬幣僅鑄造了約 150 至 200 枚，而且大部分都在多年來被熔化了。這枚硬幣於 2013 年以 1000 萬美元的價格售出，是現存最著名的飄逸一美元硬幣之一。

“Lady Liberty’s curls show incredible definition, even in their highest relief above Liberty’s ear, just as the feathers of the eagle that show all the fine nuances,” notes Stack’s Bowers, the oldest auction house for rare coins in the United States.

美國最古老的稀有硬幣拍賣行Stack's Bowers 指出：「自由女神的捲發展現出令人難以置信的清晰度，即使是在自由女神耳朵上方的最高浮雕中，就像鷹的羽毛一樣，顯示出所有細微差別。

Bruce Morelan, an American businessman who likes to collect coins, paid $10,016,875 for the “flowing hair silver dollar” more than ten years ago. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Nevada businessman in turn sold the piece in 2022 to the auction house GreatCollections based in Irvine, California, for $12 million.

喜歡收藏錢幣的美國商人布魯斯·莫蘭（Bruce Morelan）十多年前以10,016,875美元購買了“流發銀元”。據《拉斯維加斯評論雜誌》報道，這位內華達州商人又於 2022 年以 1200 萬美元的價格將這件作品賣給了加利福尼亞州歐文市的 GreatCollections 拍賣行。
