美國1794年珍稀銀幣《PCGS SP66》拍出千萬美元及簡析《新華網2013年0126日》

 

一、 一枚珍稀美元硬幣《PCGS SP66》於2013年0124日在美國紐約Stacks&Bowers拍賣會上以10016875美元成交，創下紀錄《Stack’s Bowers Galleries Sets World Record With Sale Of 1794 Silver Dollar For $10,016,875－Highest Price Ever Realized for Any Rare Coin at Auction》。這枚銀質硬幣1794年鑄造，據信是美國最早鑄造的硬幣之一。硬幣中心為自由女神側臉，周圍刻有代表每個州的星。硬幣由設立於新澤西的“傳奇錢幣”公司拍得。這一成交價由此打破1999年拍賣會上一枚硬幣創出的410萬美元成交紀錄。斯塔克斯·鮑爾斯藝術館榮譽主席大衛鮑爾斯說，這枚硬幣是美國最早鑄造的銀質硬幣，工藝精良。“綜合這些要素，沒有一家博物館有同等收藏”。

二、 “傳奇錢幣”在一份聲明中說，拍賣會前，公司已認定這將是首枚成交價突破1000萬美元的硬幣，“事實上我們原本已準備好以更高價競拍”。收藏家馬丁·洛吉３年前購得這枚硬幣，對1000萬美元成交價感到滿意。他說，和藝術品市場一樣，硬幣收藏近年能獲得良好投資回報。“我們接連發現驚喜，”洛吉說，全球有數百萬硬幣收藏家，市場廣闊。（新華社電）

五、 簡析：

1、 上海金融學院融理當代金銀幣研究所所長、上海市錢幣學會理事、國家高級黃金投資分析師，並兼任上海東方國際商品拍賣有限公司錢幣部負責人黃瑞勇教授(中國現代金銀幣知名大師之一)2010年11月間表示，在美國發行量在10枚以內的頂級金幣，目前之價格約400~500萬美元，最高的則已經突破1,000萬美元。銀幣拍賣超過1000萬美元尚屬首次，惟從其珍稀度觀之，買方仍撿漏及物超所值，成交價高在於美國收藏家財力雄厚及珍稀，且老銀幣PCGS SP66之品相極佳。

2、 綜觀中美金銀幣拍賣情形，美國之老精稀金銀幣屢創新高成交，此情說明在中美收藏金銀幣層級的購買力對比中，美國頂級收藏家之文化涵養與財富實力暫時優於中國。中國老精稀金銀幣的愛好者，要與國際大收藏家的氣魄接軌，未來仍有很大拓展及成長空間。

1、       Leading rare coin auctioneer Stack’s Bowers Galleries conducted one of the most highly-anticipated events in numismatic history on January 24, 2013, with the sale of the record-setting Cardinal Collection. The highlight of the evening was the $10,016,875 sale of the coveted 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar, a superb Gem Specimen example, the finest known to exist. This set a new world-record price for any coin. Attended by hundreds of enthusiasts, collectors investors and dealers, and resulting in nearly $27 million in rare coins crossing the block, the auction of The Cardinal Collection and other important consignments took place as part of the Stack’s Bowers Galleries New York Americana Sale.

2、       “To be a part of this historical occasion is nothing short of amazing!” said Chris Napolitano, president of Stack’s Bowers Galleries. “Collectors competed with great fervor and energy, resulting in outstanding overall prices realized. The price of the gem 1794 dollar went up and up into the millions, with everyone in the audience on the edge of their seats until at last there was just one bidder remaining. At $10,016,875, a world-record price for any coin had been set! The previous record was $7,590,020 for a 1933 Double Eagle, set in 2002 by our firm in partnership with Sotheby’s. While it is well known that the value of the American dollar has depreciated over the years, here is a dollar that has increased in value beyond the wildest of anyone’s dreams.”

3、       One of the greatest American numismatic landmarks, the 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar is the finest known example of its kind, graded Specimen-66 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC), leading certifiers of a coin’s condition. A close study of its characteristics suggests that it may well be the first specimen struck of the first year of the silver dollar, and was carefully preserved for posterity.
