If so, you’re likely always on the lookout for new coins to add to your collection. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at five of the most sought-after coins by collectors this year. We’ll provide some information about each coin and why it’s so popular. Whether you’re starting out or have had an interest in rare coin trading, stick around!
1913 Liberty Head V Nickel
To start the list, this may be the rarest coin on here. With just 5 left in existence, in mint condition, this coin cashes out at a whopping $4.23 million. It’s as rare as they come.
Fun fact: this coin was actually not authorized by the U.S mint, making it a hot commodity among the rare coin community.
1974 Flowing Hair Dollar
The most expensive mint is priced at about $800,000. There were less than two thousand of these issued. It was the first time the United States government issued a dollar coin, which makes this a historic coin, thus adding to its value.
1943 Copper Wheat Penny
This is a fun one because it was actually released into circulation by accident after a manufacturing error. This makes them a sought-after piece, and also a highly-counterfeited coin. The latest one sold in mint condition went for about $250k at auction. Even pennies in lesser-condition can be sold for just under 100k… wow.
1870 S Seated Liberty Dollar
This is the oldest coin on the list and one of the rarest out there with only an estimated 15 in existence. If someone were to have this coin in mint state, they could get nearly $2 million for it! But even coins in worse condition get you well over $100k, making this an incredible piece.
1919 D Walking Liberty Half Dollar
If you happen to be in possession of this coin in a decent condition, I’m sorry to tell you that won’t even get you $30 on in the market. It’s the price disparity of this coin that interests me, with mint condition pieces being worth almost $200k. What a difference! However, if you’re in the game simply for investing, it’s a good coin to get your hands on and hold on to.
