Top U.S. Coins

1895-S Barber dime had a low mintage amount and one of the rarest coins out there.

is 100% silver and highly valued

Though not as pricey as some other rarities, the '43 bronze cent deserves special mention. When the mint changed the composition of the one-cent coin as part of the war effort, not all the blanks of the previous year's composition were removed from the minting machines. The result was a bronze cent that should have been made of zinc. This is a rare coin with a great story; you never know when another one might turn up!

Another rare coin by way of mint seizure, ownership of the 1933 St. Gaudens is technically illegal. 1933 was the last year the double eagle was struck, but before the coins were released to the public President Roosevelt issued an executive order recalling the 1933 coins and seizing all other privately held gold coins. Unlike the '64 Peace Dollar, it is thought that some '33 Saints survived the recall effort.

A coin with a great story, the 1913 Liberty Nickel was struck by mint employees that sneaked into the mint after-hours. Only 5 are known to exist. This was the first U.S. coin to sell for more than a million dollars!

The 15 known specimens of this coin were actually minted in 1834 as gifts for Asian rulers, such as the King of Siam. The 1804 silver dollar is among the most expensive and rarest of U.S. coins.

This coin is so rare, there's a good chance not a single specimen remains in existence. Of the just over 300,000 coins made, it is believed that all were recalled and melted.
