大家都知道郵票上有錯版,可是錢幣上也有錯版。1943年一美分的林肯硬幣,就是一例。
那一年,因為打仗,銅材奇缺,美國造幣廠決定以鐵代銅,發行當年的一美分林肯硬幣,成為名副其實的鋼鏰兒:
可在當時忙中出錯,有那麼二十幾枚硬幣,是用前一年剩下的銅做的,並且流到了市場上,成為漏網之魚,幾年後才被發現,因此價格昂貴。
This 3.11-gram copper-red coin is an example of one of the most popular coin mistakes in history. It consists of copper, tin, and zinc. These pennies were mistakenly struck in bronze in 1943. In the year 1947, a high school student found this coin in his pocket change. For the first time, this coin was sold in January 2019 by Heritage Auctions for $204,000. However, some reports state that, in 2013, Stack Bowers Galleries made $164,500 from another one of these bronze coins.
