极其罕见的1894年一角硬币，预计售价超过100万美元

An extremely rare 1894 dime, one of only 24 minted, is expected to sell for over $1 million when it is auctioned next week.

一枚极其罕见的1894年一角硬币，是仅有的24枚铸造硬币之一，预计下周拍卖时售价将超过100万美元。

Only nine of the rare 1894-S dimes are known to exist, according to auction house Stack’s Bowers Galleries. Online bidding for the coin had already reached $850,000 Wednesday.

据斯塔克拍卖行鲍尔斯画廊(Bowers Galleries)称，在这些罕见的1894系列硬币中，只有九枚已知存在。周三，网上对这枚硬币的竞价已经达到85万美元。

In 2016, an 1894-S dime sold for $2 million at a Florida auction.

2016年，一枚1894系列硬币在佛罗里达州的拍卖会上以200万美元成交。

The dime will be auctioned on Aug. 15 at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money in Chicago.

这枚硬币将于8月15日，在芝加哥的美国货币协会世界货币博览会上拍卖。

A rare 1876 20-cent piece will also be auctioned at the event.

一件罕见的1876年20美分硬币也将在这次拍卖会上拍卖。

“The 20-cent piece was meant to replace the quarter at the time, but as we know, that didn’t happen,” a spokesman for Stack’s Bowers Galleries told Fox News. “It just never really caught on with the public.”

史塔克鲍尔斯画廊的一位发言人对福克斯新闻说：“20美分的硬币本来是用来替换当时的硬币的，但我们知道，事实并非如此。”“它从未真正吸引公众。”

First issued in 1875, 20-cent coins are described by Stack’s Bowers Galleries as “a one-year wonder.”

最早发行于1875年的20美分硬币，被斯塔克的鲍尔斯画廊称为“年度奇迹”。

Some 10,000 20-cent pieces were minted by the Carson City Mint in 1876 but were ordered by the government to be destroyed. The coin being auctioned in Chicago is one of only 20 from the 10,000 minted at Carson City that escaped the melting pot.

1876年，卡森市造币厂铸造了大约1万枚20美分的硬币，但随后政府下令销毁。在芝加哥拍卖的这枚硬币是卡森市1万枚硬币中仅有的20枚之一。

The 1875 20-cent coin, which is expected to sell for $500,000, had already reached $280,000 in online bids Wednesday.

这枚1875年的20美分硬币，预计售价50万美元，在周三的网上竞拍中已经达到28万美元。
