您的口袋裡可能有數千美元的稀有硬幣

儘管某些最稀有和最有利可圖的發現是無法發行或從來沒有開始的，但仍然是。

You might be able to find at least three US coins in your spare change that are worth thousands of dollars.

您也許可以在您的備用更改中找到至少三枚美國硬幣，價值數千美元。

Coins can be worth serious money for several reasons. Usually, it involves a combination of a unique history, limited quantity produced, and minting errors. Pennies, dimes, nickels, and quarters from several minting years have these elements, typically the older the better.

由於幾個原因，硬幣值得一筆錢。通常，它涉及獨特的歷史記錄，產生有限數量和造幣錯誤的組合。幾個鑄幣年份的便士，一角錢，鎳和四分之一的元素，通常年齡越大。

The three that stand out and can be worth over $90,000 a piece include a quarter and two pennies.

脫穎而出，每件價值超過90,000美元的三分之一包括四分之一和兩個便士。

1970 S Quarter

1970 S季度

First is the 1970 S Quarter — particularly a version that went for $93,000 at auction in 2023, per Heritage Auctions. To get that kind of cash, however, there was a special and unique minting error.

首先是1970年代的季度 - 尤其是根據遺產拍賣的2023年拍賣的售價93,000美元的版本。但是，為了獲得這種現金，存在一個特殊且獨特的鑄造錯誤。

Instead of being struck on the 1970 S Quarter planchet at the San Francisco Mint that year, the coin was overstruck on top of the planchet for the 1898 five dollar coin. Experts who reviewed the coin found "parts of the 1898 half eagle" with the date also seen below the wreath on the reverse, or tails, side.

該硬幣沒有在1970年代的季度造幣廠上擊中1970年代的平面，而是在1898年的五美元硬幣上過度擊敗了Planchet。審查了硬幣的專家發現了“ 1898年半鷹的部分”，日期在背面或尾部的花圈下方也看到了。

What also makes the quarter valuable is its high grading of PR66. Coins are typically graded on a scale from the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) between one and 70 — one being in very poor condition and 70 being flawless. The 66 grading is optimal, and means the coin was in excellent shape.

該季度的價值也使該季度的高分為PR66。硬幣通常以專業硬幣分級服務（PCG）在1到70之間的範圍內進行評分，其中一枚非常差，有70個處於完美的狀態。 66分級是最佳的，這意味著硬幣的形狀很好。

2001 D LINCOLN PENNY

2001 D林肯便士

Another rare coin worth a bit more that you might be able to find is the 2001 D Lincoln Penny. Heritage Auctions sold a version of the penny for $96,000 in August of last year.

您可能可以找到的另一個稀有硬幣是2001 D林肯便士。遺產拍賣會在去年8月以96,000美元的價格出售了一分錢的版本。

What made it special was another extremely uncommon minting error known as a "mule." Mule coins are struck with dies that are completely mismatched. For example, this penny had a reverse side of the Roosevelt dime and the obverse side of the Lincoln penny.

使它與眾不同的是另一個非常罕見的鑄造錯誤，稱為“ m子”。 mule幣被完全不匹配的模具擊中。例如，這一分錢在羅斯福毛錢和林肯便士的正面有一個背面。

Experts only know of about 30 mule coins in the US Mint's history. Some can go for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

專家在美國造幣廠的歷史中只知道大約有30個m子硬幣。有些人可以賺數十萬美元。

The 2001 D (Denver) Lincoln Penny worth $96,000 also had a grading of MS66.

2001 D（丹佛）林肯·彭妮（Lincoln Penny）的價值為$ 96,000的MS66。

1999 LINCOLN PENNY

1999林肯便士

Last, and most lucrative on the list is also another mule — a 1999 Lincoln Penny where the reverse is again, the Roosevelt dime. It sold at auction back in 2006 for $138,000. With today's buying power, it would've been worth about $218,527, per the CPI Inflation Calculator from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

最後，最有利可圖的也是另一個m子 - 1999年的林肯·潘妮（Lincoln Penny），反向又是羅斯福角錢。它在2006年在拍賣會上以138,000美元的價格出售。借助今天的購買力，根據勞工統計局的CPI通貨膨脹計算器的價值約為218,527美元。

Similar to the 2001 D mule version, this one was also graded MS66.

與2001 D m子版本類似，該版本也是MS66分級的。

There are several other coins out there worth even more money. For example, a "Liberty" nickel recently sold for $3.2 million at auction thanks to its date and other details, making it one of the rarest finds in United States history. At least four other coins in your change could also be worth over $1.7 million.

那裡還有其他幾枚硬幣值得更多的錢。例如，由於其日期和其他細節，“自由”鎳最近在拍賣會上以320萬美元的價格售出，這是美國歷史上最稀有的發現之一。您更改中至少有四枚硬幣也可能超過170萬美元。
