一枚超极罕见的硬币卖出了超过500,000美元的价格。自上世纪70年代末以来,这枚硬币就一直下落不明。
这枚硬币由位于旧金山的美国铸币厂(U.S. Mint)于1975年铸造,正面是富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统的头像,是已知仅存的两枚无“S”铸币标记的硬币之一。
来自俄亥俄州的三姐妹在兄弟去世后继承了这枚10美分硬币。这枚硬币在他去世前已在银行保险柜中保存了40多年。
据加州尔湾的拍卖行GreatCollections的总裁伊恩·罗塞尔表示,在周日结束的在线拍卖会上,这枚硬币以506,250美元的价格成交。(财富中文网)

An extraordinarily rare dime whose whereabouts had remained a mystery since the late 1970s has sold for just over $500,000.
The coin, which was struck by the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1975, depicts President Franklin D. Roosevelt and is one of just two known to exist without its distinctive “S” mint mark.
Three sisters from Ohio inherited the dime after the death of their brother, who had kept it in a bank vault for more than 40 years.
The coin sold for $506,250 in an online auction that concluded Sunday, according to Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections, an auction house based in Irvine, California.
