A 1983 Lincoln cent minted in bronze recently sold for nearly $30,000 in the coin buying and selling market. What makes this coin so valuable? Let's take a closer look.

最近，一枚 1983 年林肯铜币在硬币买卖市场上以近 30,000 美元的价格售出。是什么让这枚硬币如此值钱？让我们仔细看看。

But first, a bit of background on the bronze Lincoln cent in the coin buying and selling market. On July 28, GreatCollections offered this specimen in an auction and realized $29,250, including the buyer's premium. The bidding closed at 49 bids.

但首先，我们来了解一下硬币买卖市场上的青铜林肯美分的一些背景。 7 月 28 日，GreatCollections 在拍卖会上出售了这件标本，成交价为 29,250 美元，包括买家佣金。竞标最终以 49 份出价结束。

GreatCollections' description for this auction was simple and to the point: "A Gem example of the popular transitional error struck on a bronze planchet left over from 1982 or earlier. This is the variety that is best known by far." Many in the hobby seemed to agree, as evidenced by the number of bids it attracted.

GreatCollections 对本次拍卖的描述简单明了：“1982 年或更早遗留下来的青铜板坯上常见的过渡错误的宝石示例。这是迄今为止最著名的品种。”许多业内人士似乎都同意这一点，吸引的投标数量就证明了这一点。

What Makes This Bronze Coin So Valuable in the Coin Buying and Selling Market?

是什么让这枚铜币在钱币买卖市场上如此有价值？

Lincoln cents struck from 1963 through mid-1982 were made of a solid brass composition of 95% copper and 5% zinc. Collectors often refer to them as "bronze," which was the traditional alloy of 95 percent copper with the remainder zinc and tin, used between 1909 and 1962. Both bronze and brass cents weigh 3.11 grams (composition source).

1963 年至 1982 年中期铸造的林肯美分由实心黄铜成分制成，其中含有 95% 的铜和 5% 的锌。收藏家通常将它们称为“青铜”，这是 1909 年至 1962 年间使用的传统合金，其中 95% 为铜，其余为锌和锡。青铜和黄铜美分均重 3.11 克（成分来源）。

Commercial-strike cents minted from mid-1982 to the present are struck on planchets that have a solid zinc core. These are then plated in pure copper and weigh 2.5 grams. This is what the coin in question should have been struck on. But somehow, it ended up being struck on a bronze planchet left over from 1982 or earlier.

从 1982 年中期至今铸造的商业美分美分都是在具有实心锌芯的铸币上铸造的。然后将其镀上纯铜，重 2.5 克。这就是所讨论的硬币应该被铸造的地方。但不知何故，它最终被铸造在 1982 年或更早时期遗留下来的青铜板坯上。

Collectors refer to these as transitional errors, and the latest one we covered on CoinNews was discovered by Ernie Gesner of Oregon in May 2021, though it is not the only time we've seen this variety.

收藏家将这些称为过渡性错误，我们在 CoinNews 上报道的最新一个错误是由俄勒冈州的厄尼·格斯纳 (Ernie Gesner) 于 2021 年 5 月发现的，尽管这并不是我们唯一一次看到这种品种。

Other Finds Relating to 1982-D Coins

与 1982 年 D 版硬币相关的其他发现

Other finds relating to 1982-D small-date coins and 1983-D cents struck on solid bronze planchets have been discovered over the years, and both caught the attention of collectors, who didn't hesitate to bid on them. The 1982-D coin sold for $18,800 and the 1983-D went for $17,625.

多年来，还发现了与 1982 年 D 小日期硬币和 1983 年 D 实心青铜钱币有关的其他发现，它们都引起了收藏家的注意，他们毫不犹豫地出价竞拍。 1982 年 D 版硬币售价为 18,800 美元，1983 年 D 版硬币售价为 17,625 美元。

Then a second 1982-D cent, also purporting to be bronze, surfaced but was not well preserved. This piece didn't pass the muster and was returned to the owner, who had it cleaned up a bit before sending it back to be graded by Numismatic Guarantee Corporation (NGC). This specimen was sold by Heritage in September 2019, realizing $8,400.

随后，第二枚 1982 年 D 分硬币也浮出水面，但并未保存完好。这件作品没有通过审核，被退回给失主，失主对其进行了一些清理，然后将其送回钱币担保公司 (NGC) 进行评级。该标本于 2019 年 9 月由 Heritage 出售，成交价 8,400 美元。

Another related example is a 1989-D Lincoln cent struck on a pre-1983 bronze cent planchet and graded PCGS MS-65 RD. This specimen sold for $3,525 in the Rarities Night auction on Aug. 11, 2016.

另一个相关的例子是一枚 1989 年 D 版林肯美分，是在 1983 年之前的青铜美分原坯上铸造的，评级为 PCGS MS-65 RD。该标本在 2016 年 8 月 11 日的稀有之夜拍卖会上以 3,525 美元的价格售出。

Meanwhile, Heritage Auctions sold a 1990-D cent struck on a 3.1-gram copper alloy planchet, pre-1983, for $5,540 (market and prices source). It was a PCGS MS-64 Brown specimen, and this transaction took place in January 2018.

与此同时，Heritage Auctions 拍卖行以 5,540 美元的价格出售了一枚 1990 年 D 分，采用 3.1 克铜合金铸币铸造，1983 年之前的价格为 5,540 美元（市场和价格来源）。这是一件 PCGS MS-64 棕色标本，这笔交易发生于 2018 年 1 月。
