This coin is one of the most famous and sought-after in American numismatics. Despite its date, it was actually minted in the 1830s for diplomatic purposes. Only 15 examples are known to exist, making it extremely rare and valuable, often fetching well over $1 million at auction.
With only five known examples in existence, the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is another prized rarity. It was never officially minted for circulation, making its existence even more mysterious and desirable among collectors. These coins have fetched millions of dollars at auction.
The 1933 Double Eagle is another iconic American coin, but most of the 445,500 minted were melted down when the U.S. government abandoned the gold standard. However, a few escaped destruction, and those that did are highly coveted by collectors, with prices often exceeding $7 million.
The 1894-S Barber Dime is incredibly scarce, with only 24 known to exist. Its low mintage, combined with its historical significance, makes it one of the most valuable dimes in American coinage, often selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
As one of the first silver dollars minted by the United States, the 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar holds immense historical importance. Only around 150 to 200 of these coins are estimated to still exist, with prices reaching into the millions at auction.
This coin is one of the rarest half cents in American numismatics. With only a handful known to exist, it commands high prices at auction, often surpassing $100,000.
