姐妹們終於以 50 萬美元的天價出售了缺少鑄幣標記的稀有硬幣

俄亥俄州的姐妹們獲得了這枚一角硬幣，她們已故的兄弟在去世後將其保存在銀行金庫中長達 40 多年。

Three sisters in Ohio have finally managed to sell a rare coin with a missing mint for a whopping $500,000 after decades of it being locked up in a family vault.

俄亥俄州的三姐妹終於成功以 50 萬美元的價格出售了一枚缺少鑄幣的稀有硬幣，這枚硬幣被鎖在家庭金庫中數十年。

The sisters gained access to the dime, which their late brother had kept in a bank vault for over 40 years, once he’d died. It features President Franklin D. Roosevelt on its obverse and it was struck by the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1975, but the error coin was only discovered in the 1970s.

姐妹倆獲得了這枚一毛錢，她們已故的兄弟在去世後將其保存在銀行金庫中長達 40 多年。它的正面印有富蘭克林羅斯福總統的頭像，由舊金山美國造幣廠於 1975 年鑄造，但錯誤硬幣直到 20 世紀 70 年代才被發現。

It’s extraordinarily rare because it makes up just one of two known coins to exist without an S mint mark - to reflect where it was made.

它極為罕見，因為它只是已知的兩種沒有 S 造幣廠標記（以反映其製造地）的硬幣之一。

The sisters, who chose to be anonymous, told a California auction house that their brother and mom bought the error coin in 1978. They forked out a sum of $18,200 for the exclusive coin - roughly equating to $90,000 today.

這對不願透露姓名的姊妹告訴加州一家拍賣行，她們的兄弟和媽媽在1978 年買下了這枚錯誤硬幣。 。

Their parents operated a dairy farm and saw the coin as a financial safety net. Their brother opted to secure the prized coin in a bank vault so the family could use it as a rainy day fund if the need ever arose.

他們的父母經營一家乳牛場，並將硬幣視為金融安全網。他們的兄弟選擇將這枚珍貴的硬幣存放在銀行金庫中，以便家人在需要時可以將其用作未雨綢繆的資金。

The sisters went on to pocket an astonishing $506,250 in an online auction on Sunday, according to Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections, an auction house based in Irvine, California.

加州歐文市 GreatCollections 拍賣行總裁 Ian Russell 表示，姐妹倆在周日的線上拍賣中拍出了驚人的 506,250 美元。

The only other known example of the 1975 no S proof dime was sold at a 2019 auction for $456,000 before being resold to a private collector months later.

唯一已知的 1975 年無 S 精製一毛錢硬幣在 2019 年的一次拍賣會上以 456,000 美元的價格售出，幾個月後轉售給一位私人收藏家。

The San Francisco mint made more than 2.8 million special uncirculated proof sets in 1975 that featured six coins and were sold for $7.

1975 年，舊金山造幣廠鑄造了超過 280 萬枚特殊的未流通精製幣，其中包含六枚硬幣，售價為 7 美元。

Collectors a few years later discovered that two dimes from the set were missing the mint mark.

幾年後，收藏家發現這套硬幣中有兩枚缺少造幣廠標記。

It comes after a 1837 Seated Dime sold for $3,750 in October - and could be worth even more under the right circumstances.

此前，一枚 1837 年坐式一毛硬幣在 10 月以 3,750 美元的價格售出，在適當的情況下可能價值更高。

The 1837 Seated Dime marks a significant chapter in American coinage, being part of the Seated Liberty series that ran from 1837 to 1891.

1837 年坐像一角硬幣是 1837 年至 1891 年坐像自由女神系列的一部分，標誌著美國鑄幣的重要篇章。

The coin’s "No Stars" variety is particularly valuable because of its limited mintage period, Heritage Auctions reports.

據 Heritage Auctions 報道，該硬幣的“無星”品種因其發行期限有限而特別有價值。

It was struck only at the Philadelphia Mint in 1837 and the New Orleans Mint in 1838. Coins from these early mints are rare, and this dime's exceptional state makes it a coveted find for collectors.

它僅於 1837 年在費城造幣廠和 1838 年在新奧爾良造幣廠鑄造。 這些早期造幣廠生產的硬幣非常罕見，這枚 10 角硬幣的特殊狀態使其成為收藏家夢寐以求的發現。
