如果您仔细浏览互联网,您一定会看到兜售这种或那种硬币的头条新闻。其中许多是可能价值数千美元的常见问题
When I interviewed potential student employees in years past to work at my coin business, one question I liked to ask was, “What is something worth?” Only once did I get the correct business (as opposed to possible sentimental) answer: "What someone else is willing to pay for it.”
过去几年,当我面试在我的硬币业务工作的潜在学生员工时,我喜欢问的一个问题是:“什么东西有价值?”只有一次我得到了正确的商业(而不是可能的感伤)答案:“别人愿意为此付出的代价。”
This US Proof 1975 Roosevelt Dime with a missing mint mark has been graded Superb Gem Proof-67 with a CAC sticker.
这枚美国精制 1975 年罗斯福一毛钱缺少铸币标记,已被评为 Superb Gem Proof-67,带有 CAC 贴纸。

If you peruse the internet, you are bound to see headlines touting this or that coin. Many of them are common issues that may be worth thousands or sometimes even millions of dollars because of minor manufacturing defects. In almost every instance, there is little substance to the story.
如果您仔细浏览互联网,您一定会看到兜售这种或那种硬币的头条新闻。其中许多都是常见问题,由于轻微的制造缺陷,这些问题可能价值数千甚至数百万美元。几乎在每一个例子中,故事都没有什么实质内容。
These kinds of stories get a boost when a real numismatic rarity is discovered. The most recent one is the weekend auction for the US Proof 1975 Roosevelt Dime that is missing the S mintmark. There were 585 million 1975 Roosevelt dimes struck for circulation at the Philadelphia Mint that don’t have a mintmark, but they don’t qualify. PCGS has now certified this second specimen as Superb Gem Proof-67 with a CAC sticker. The other specimen was graded Superb Gem Proof-68 by PCGS and last sold in a major auction in 2019 for $456,000. This newly discovered rarity will almost certainly realize hundreds of thousands of dollars.
当真正的钱币稀有品被发现时,这类故事就会得到推动。最近的一次拍卖是美国精制 1975 年罗斯福一毛硬币的周末拍卖,该硬币缺少 S 铸币标记。费城铸币厂铸造的 1975 年罗斯福 10 角硬币有 5.85 亿枚没有铸币标记,但不符合资格。 PCGS 现已将第二个样本认证为带有 CAC 贴纸的 Superb Gem Proof-67。另一个标本被 PCGS 评为 Superb Gem Proof-68,最后一次在 2019 年的一次大型拍卖会上以 456,000 美元的价格售出。这种新发现的稀有物品几乎肯定会价值数十万美元。
People like to dream of discovering hidden treasures. Earlier on the day I’m writing this column, I talked with a young man who had a US 1976-D Bicentennial Quarter with a filled D mintmark, and where the motto looks like it reads “In Cod We Trust” instead of "In God We Trust.” The caller had done a little research and seen some just like it offered on eBay for as much as $10,000.
人们喜欢梦想发现隐藏的宝藏。在我写这篇专栏的那天早些时候,我与一位年轻人交谈过,他拥有一枚美国 1976 年二百周年纪念币,上面刻有 D 铸币标记,其座右铭看起来像是“In Cod We Trust”,而不是“In Cod We Trust”。我们信赖的上帝。”来电者做了一些研究,发现一些类似产品在 eBay 上的售价高达 10,000 美元。
Anyone can post any price they want to ask. That doesn’t mean that someone else will be willing to pay for it. I advised him to review only completed sales for an indication of value and also to consider how many such pieces were currently offered for sale on the site. At least 70 other examples were offered for sale today on eBay, which is not a sign of a rare coin. Further, very few have sold in recent months, with one on August 17 selling for $2.00 plus $1.15 shipping. Some sold in the $10-25 range. A few went for more. I warned the caller that some of the issues that were reported selling for a high price might be sham purchases by a conspirator of the seller. Such scammers can then try to post another specimen at a similar price to pick off an unknowledgeable collector misled by the fake reported sale. Another indicator of whether this might be a valuable error is to see if it is listed in a reputable reference catalog such as The Redbook (which doesn’t list this error).
任何人都可以发布他们想要询问的任何价格。这并不意味着其他人愿意为此付出代价。我建议他只查看已完成的销售以了解其价值,并考虑目前网站上出售的此类作品有多少。今天,eBay 上还出售了至少 70 枚其他硬币,这并不是稀有硬币的标志。此外,最近几个月售出的产品很少,其中一件在 8 月 17 日售价为 2.00 美元,另加 1.15 美元运费。有些售价为 10-25 美元。有一些人想要更多。我警告来电者,据报道高价出售的一些问题可能是卖家同谋的虚假购买。然后,此类骗子可以尝试以相似的价格发布另一个样本,以挑选被虚假报道的销售误导的无知收藏家。判断这是否是一个有价值的错误的另一个指标是查看它是否列在信誉良好的参考目录中,例如红皮书(它没有列出此错误)。
Still, today’s caller was smart enough to check with an expert to see if he had found a treasure before he did something he might later regret.
尽管如此,今天的来电者还是很聪明,在他做出以后可能会后悔的事情之前,他向专家核实了一下,看看他是否找到了宝藏。
Most of you reading this column are already experienced enough not to fall for the lure of trying to find a minor coin defect that makes it worth a small fortune. One recent headline I saw said you might be able to find a coin in your change that would be worth $47 million. Since there hasn’t been any coin ever that has changed hands at prices anywhere close to that amount, I didn’t bother reading the story attached to this headline.
阅读本专栏的大多数人都已经有足够的经验,不会落入试图寻找硬币小缺陷而使其值一笔小钱的诱惑。我最近看到的一个头条新闻说,你也许能在零钱中找到一枚价值 4700 万美元的硬币。由于从来没有任何硬币以接近这个价格的价格转手,所以我没有费心阅读这个标题所附的故事。
Over the decades, I have seen thousands of coins with minor striking errors. Many coins have also had superficial damage from circulation or been deliberately altered by someone playing a prank or having fun. Letting those who have such pieces down gently is part of the work of a coin dealer.
几十年来,我见过数以千计的硬币,上面都有轻微的铸造错误。许多硬币还因流通而受到表面损坏,或者被恶作剧或玩耍故意改变。轻轻地将那些拥有此类物品的人放下是硬币经销商工作的一部分。
Still, never give up hope of finding an exception. Several decades ago, my company handled a US Quarter Eagle struck at the mint in Charlotte, North Carolina. The owner's ancestors had lived in that city back in the 1840s and apparently picked up the coin from the Mint. It came back from the grading service as one of the finest quality surviving Charlotte Mint Quarter Eagles from any year.
尽管如此,永远不要放弃寻找例外的希望。几十年前,我的公司处理了一枚在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特铸币厂铸造的美国金币。硬币主人的祖先早在 1840 年代就居住在这座城市,显然是从造币厂捡到了这枚硬币。它从分级服务中被评为历年夏洛特铸币厂四分之一老鹰中现存质量最好的之一。

Last week, I asked, "Why did “paper money” issued by Colorado private mint Clark, Gruber & Co. during the Civil War change hands for as much as 104% of its stated face value?" Answer: To finance soaring military expenses at the beginning of the Civil War, the US government, for the first time, issued Demand Notes in August 1861. Technically, these were
