Eight Expensive Rare Coins That Coin Collectors Highly Desire

Ailie F. Byers, MPA, chief financial officer of Centennial Auctions, stated, "This iconic coin set a world record when it sold for $18.9 million at auction in 2021, and its value has probably appreciated since." "Even though 445,500 Double Eagles were produced in 1933, almost all of them were ordered to be melted down, and none were formally put into circulation." According to her, there are only 13 known examples of this coin."It is one of the rarest and most sought-after coins in the world, and only one is lawfully kept in a private collection," she added. "The United States government has the remaining examples."

Fugio Cent, also known as the Franklin Cent, 1787

According to Byers, the 1787 Fugio Cent is "one of the earliest, if not the earliest, coins issued by the U.S." "Despite the paucity of records, this copper coin is generally considered to be the first American coinage." According to her, the coin's front bears the phrase "Mind Your Business," and its reverse bears the words "We Are One," encircled by thirteen interconnected circles that symbolize the original colonies. She stated that some historians think Benjamin Franklin created the currency. "Auction prices vary greatly; rare, high-quality specimens, such as an MS-64 with raised rims — Cross After Date — have sold for as much as $92,500, while lower-quality examples sell for about $200." The Morgan Dollar Because of their size, high silver content, and historical value, Morgan dollars have been highly sought after for a number of years, according to Byers. "After being kept in bank and government vaults for decades, many are still in almost mint condition." According to her, coins struck at the Carson City Mint are very sought-after and frequently fetch a premium because of their rarity and quality. They are marked "CC." Here are two well-known instances. S Morgan Dollar, 1886 She claimed that out of a 750,000-thousand-coin mintage, this coin is constantly in demand by coin collectors. "It holds strong at about $1,300 in MS-64 condition," she stated. But value rises with quality; an MS-66 may get about $9,000 in the market.
