堪薩斯州 25 美分錯誤的銀幣和精製銀幣的價值可能超過 25 美分

Coin Trackers 保留了一份美國硬幣鑄造清單，列出了堪薩斯州 25 美分硬幣的五種錯誤設計，這些設計對收藏家來說具有價值，或者在拍賣會上吸引出價。

Have you ever wondered if the Kansas state quarter in your pocket is worth more than its advertised for?

您有沒有想過您口袋裡的堪薩斯州25美分硬幣是否比其廣告上的價值更高？

Kansas, like every state, has its very own quarter featuring iconic symbols like a bison and sunflowers produced by the U.S. Mint as part of its 50 State Quarters program. The Kansas state quarter was first issued in 2005 and has been in mass circulation ever since.

與每個州一樣，堪薩斯州也有自己的 25 美分硬幣，其特色是美國造幣廠生產的野牛和向日葵等標誌性符號，這是其 50 個州 25 美分硬幣計劃的一部分。堪薩斯州 25 美分硬幣於 2005 年首次發行，此後一直大量流通。

Coin Trackers, which keeps a list of minted U.S. coins, names five error designs for the Kansas state quarter that hold value with collectors or that attract bids at auction. The U.S. Mint, in most cases, recycles error coins before they leave a production facility but, on rare occasions, these make it into circulation. Error quarters you might find for Kansas include the following:

Coin Trackers 保留了一份美國硬幣鑄造清單，列出了堪薩斯州 25 美分硬幣的五種錯誤設計，這些設計對收藏家來說具有價值，或者在拍賣會上吸引出價。在大多數情況下，美國造幣廠會在錯誤硬幣離開生產設施之前對其進行回收，但在極少數情況下，這些硬幣會進入流通。您可能會發現堪薩斯州的錯誤季度包括以下內容：

According to Coin Trackers, the Kansas state quarter is worth around $0.50 in G4 condition and up to $12 in mint condition. Silver proof state quarters are also worth around $12.

根據 Coin Trackers 的數據，堪薩斯州 25 分硬幣在 G4 狀態下的價值約為 0.50 美元，在全新狀態下的價值高達 12 美元。精製銀質 25 美分硬幣也價值 12 美元左右。

Matthew Nichols, owner of Jayhawk Coins, Games & More in Topeka, cautions those who are looking to sell off a potential collector’s item or who think they have found something that is truly rare. He said looking for a rare coin is “kind of a rat race” and that he receives requests to evaluate items like state quarters on a regular basis with few turning out to be worth anything more than $0.25.

托皮卡 Jayhawk Coins, Games & More 店主馬修·尼科爾斯 (Matthew Nichols) 警告那些想要出售潛在收藏品或認為自己發現了真正稀有物品的人。他說，尋找稀有硬幣是“一場激烈的競賽”，他定期收到評估諸如州硬幣之類的物品的請求，但很少有硬幣的價值超過 0.25 美元。

People are encouraged to do some online research or consult collector’s guides when they think they’ve found something worthwhile. Auction-style websites like eBay can also give people a benchmark to use when trying to figure out if they’ve found a rare coin by checking to see what other quarters have sold for in the past.

當人們認為找到了有價值的東西時，我們鼓勵他們進行一些線上研究或查閱收藏指南。像 eBay 這樣的拍賣網站也可以為人們提供一個基準，讓人們透過查看其他硬幣過去的售價來判斷是否找到了稀有硬幣。

“Generally speaking, every error I’ve looked up has been $5 or $10,” Nichols said. “Does it have value? Yes. Does it have significant value? No.”

「一般來說，我查到的每個錯誤的金額都是 5 或 10 美元，」Nichols 說。 「它有價值嗎？是的。它有重要的價值嗎？不。

Nichols said people can also consult experts in the collection field such as those found at his business or a local numismatist. Sources like these can help people get a better idea of how much their coin is worth, if anything.

尼科爾斯說，人們還可以諮詢收藏領域的專家，例如他公司的專家或當地的錢幣學家。此類來源可以幫助人們更好地了解他們的硬幣的價值（如果有的話）。

“We’ll be happy to take a look at one and verify if it is worth anything,” Nichols said. “The chances of you having a valuable one are very slim.”

「我們很樂意看一看並驗證它是否有價值，」尼科爾斯說。 “你擁有一件有價值的東西的機會非常渺茫。”

Kansas is not the only state to have errors in its quarter design. States like Wisconsin, with its “high” and “low” leaf designs, can also be turned into collector’s items or be sold for a value higher than $0.25.

堪薩斯州並不是唯一一個在季度設計中出現錯誤的州。像威斯康辛州這樣的州，以其“高”和“低”的葉子設計，也可以變成收藏品或以高於 0.25 美元的價格出售。
