A GROUP of Lincoln pennies are worth thousands each due to a minting error.

由於造成的錯誤，一群林肯便士價值數千美元。

Some of the exceedingly rare variations of the coin may be in circulation today, and to find one could bring you serious money.

今天，硬幣的一些極少數變化可能正在流通，找到一個可以帶給您大筆錢。

Pennies remain one of the first coins to ever be produced after the implementation of the United States Mint in 1792.

便士仍然是1792年美國造幣廠實施後首次生產的硬幣之一。

Philadelphia notably held the first Mint aside from the headquarters in Washington DC before locations expanded to Denver, San Francisco, and West Point.

費城尤其是在華盛頓特區的總部除了位置擴展到丹佛，舊金山和西點之前的第一個造幣廠。

Former President Abraham Lincoln has been on the obverse (heads) side of the penny since 1909 in honor of his 100th birthday.

自1909年以來，前總統亞伯拉罕·林肯（Abraham Lincoln）以紀念他的100歲生日為紀念一分錢的正面（頭）。

The reverse (tails) side of the coin has changed several times since then, most recently to the Union Shield in 2010 to reflect the States' commitment to be a single country.

自那時以來，硬幣的反向（尾巴）一側發生了幾次變化，最近一次是2010年的聯合盾牌，以反映美國成為一個國家的承諾。

Around the late 90s and early 2000s, however, a crucial minting error on the reverse side of a select group of three pennies was spotted.

然而，在90年代末和2000年代初期，發現了三分便士的反向造成關鍵的鑄造誤差。

WHAT'S THE ERROR?

有什麼錯誤？

Rather than having what should've been the Lincoln Memorial, each of the three pennies was incorrectly stamped by the reverse planchet for the dime.

與其擁有本應成為林肯紀念館的東西，而是三分便士中的每一個都被一角錢的反向平面蓋章。

The reverse side of the dime has remained the same since 1946, featuring a torch in the center, and an olive and oak branch on either side.

自1946年以來，一角錢的背面一直保持不變，中間有火炬，兩側的橄欖和橡樹分支。

In between them is the iconic Latin phrase adopted as a motto by the United States: "E pluribus unum."

在他們之間，是美國採用的標誌性拉丁語短語：“ e pluribus unum”。

This translates to "Out of many, one."

這意味著“許多，一個”。

Any coin that features the side of a different coin is known as a "mule."

任何具有不同硬幣側面的硬幣都被稱為“ m子”。

Mule mint errors are some of the rarest Americans could possibly find on a coin, per the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).

根據專業硬幣分級服務（PCGS），Mule Mint錯誤是美國人最稀有的一些美國人可能會發現的。

Currently, there are only about 20 known examples of the error on several different coins, including the three pennies.

當前，幾個不同的硬幣（包括三分之二）上只有大約20個已知示例。

THREE OF A KIND

三個

First is the 1999 Lincoln Cent sold at auction in 2006 for $138,000, per Heritage Auctions.

首先是1999年的林肯美分公司於2006年在拍賣中以$ 138,000的價格售出，根據遺產拍賣。

It featured the Roosevelt dime stamp on the reverse side and was graded an MS66 by the PCGS, which means it was in excellent condition.

它的特色是Roosevelt Dime郵票在背面，並由PCG對MS66進行了分級，這意味著它狀況良好。

How coins are graded

硬幣如何分級

Coins are graded on a scale of one to 70, with one being the poorest grade, and 70 being the most pristine example.

硬幣的評分為一到70，其中一等級是最貧窮的，有70個是最原始的例子。

Numbers 60 to 70 are generally the most sought-after by collectors and are known as Mint State coins.

數字60到70通常是收藏家最受歡迎的人，被稱為薄荷狀態硬幣。

Pieces that fetch thousands at auction are commonly found in MS67, MS68, and MS69 conditions.

在MS67，MS68和MS69條件下通常發現了在拍賣會上進行數千個的碎片。

An MS-70 is near-impossible to find among older coins.

MS-70幾乎無法在較舊的硬幣中找到。

The Grading Standards implemented by the PCGS go from one to 70.

PCGS實施的分級標準從1到70。

Another of the three was the 2001 D Lincoln Cent, with the "D" standing for the Denver Mint.

這三個中的另一個是2001 D林肯一分錢，丹佛薄荷的“ D”代表。

It was sold in 2021 for $114,000 and was also graded MS66.

它在2021年以114,000美元的價格出售，也被分級為MS66。

Lastly, and most recently, a different 2001 D Lincoln Cent went for $96,000 in August last year.

最後，最近的2001年林肯美分地區在去年8月以96,000美元的價格賺了96,000美元。

Again, it's possible for collectors or any interested Americans to find this error in their spare change today.

同樣，收藏家或任何感興趣的美國人今天有可能在今天的備用變化中找到這個錯誤。

While it may be unlikely, finding one would be extremely valuable, so it's worth holding onto it and getting it officially evaluated by professionals.

雖然可能不太可能，但要找到一個非常有價值，因此值得堅持並由專業人員正式評估它。

Another "sought-after" Lincoln penny is also worth $336,000 and is still in circulation.

另一個“尋求的”林肯便士也價值336,000美元，仍在流通。

There's even one that went for $500,000 that's still floating around.

甚至有50萬美元仍在漂浮的$ 500,000。
