您的口袋里可能有数千美元的稀有硬币

尽管某些最稀有和最有利可图的发现是无法发行或从来没有开始的，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.

您也许可以在您的备用更改中找到至少三枚美国硬币，价值数千美元。

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.

由于几个原因，硬币值得一笔钱。通常，它涉及独特的历史记录，产生有限数量和造币错误的组合。几个铸币年份的便士，一角钱，镍和四分之一的元素，通常年龄越大。

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

脱颖而出，每件价值超过90,000美元的三分之一包括四分之一和两个便士。

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 - 尤其是根据遗产拍卖的2023年拍卖的售价93,000美元的版本。但是，为了获得这种现金，存在一个特殊且独特的铸造错误。

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.

该硬币没有在1970年代的季度造币厂上击中1970年代的平面，而是在1898年的五美元硬币上过度击败了Planchet。审查了硬币的专家发现了“ 1898年半鹰的部分”，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.

该季度的价值也使该季度的高分为PR66。硬币通常以专业硬币分级服务（PCG）在1到70之间的范围内进行评分，其中一枚非常差，有70个处于完美的状态。 66分级是最佳的，这意味着硬币的形状很好。

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个稀有硬币是2001 D林肯便士。遗产拍卖会在去年8月以96,000美元的价格出售了一分钱的版本。

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.

使它与众不同的是另一个非常罕见的铸造错误，称为“ m子”。 mule币被完全不匹配的模具击中。例如，这一分钱在罗斯福毛钱和林肯便士的正面有一个背面。

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

专家在美国造币厂的历史中只知道大约有30个m子硬币。有些人可以赚数十万美元。

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）的价值为$ 96,000，也具有MS66的评分。

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.

最后，最有利可图的也是另一个m子 - 1999年的林肯·潘妮（Lincoln Penny），反向又是罗斯福角钱。它在2006年在拍卖会上以138,000美元的价格出售。借助今天的购买力，根据劳工统计局的CPI通货膨胀计算器的价值约为218,527美元。

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

与2001 D m子版本类似，该版本也是MS66分级的。

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.

那里还有其他几枚硬币值得更多的钱。例如，由于其日期和其他细节，“自由”镍最近在拍卖会上以320万美元的价格售出，这是美国历史上最稀有的发现之一。您更改中至少有四枚硬币也可能超过170万美元。
