Bicentennial Quarter (1976) – Value: Nearly $20,000 The bicentennial quarter was minted in 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States.
While millions were produced, a rare variety featuring the “S” mintmark from the San Francisco Mint on the obverse side is highly coveted by collectors.
1943 Copper Penny – Value: Up to $200,000 During World War II, copper was in high demand for the war effort, leading the U.S. Mint to produce pennies using steel coated in zinc.
These rare coins can fetch up to $200,000 at auction, making them a prized possession for numismatists lucky enough to find one.
1804 Silver Dollar – Value: Over $3 Million The 1804 Silver Dollar is often referred to as the “King of American Coins” due to its rarity and value.
Despite the date inscribed on the coin, it was actually minted several decades later, making it even more desirable to collectors.
Only 24 of these dimes were minted, and today, only nine are known to exist. The reason behind the extremely limited mintage remains a topic of speculation among numismatists.
