8 Rare Coins That Can Make You Rich

1967 Kennedy Half Dollar

Auction record: $6,995 This rare coin is notable because it doesn’t contain a mint mark; the U.S. Mint deliberately didn’t include mint marks on coins produced from 1965 to 1967, to limit coin hoarding.

1925-S Lincoln Penny

Auction record: $54,625 This San Francisco wheat cent is popular among coin collectors because the 1925-S pennies are a valuable date and mint in the series.

1932-D Washington Quarter

Auction record: $143,750 The U.S. Mint introduced this commemorative quarter that was designed to mark the bicentennial of George Washington’s birthday.

1943-S Jefferson Nickel

Auction record: $9,000 This nickel is from the series of war-time silver nickels that were minted from 1942 to 1945. The Mint had over 100 million pieces in circulation, and many copies have been saved by collectors.

1909-S VDB Penny

Auction record: $168,000 This is one of the most popular Lincoln pennies because of its unique story. Victor David Brenner, who designed this coin, added his full name in tiny letters, as many coin designers did in those days.

1983 1C Doubled Die Reverse Penny

Auction record: $7,050 This rare coin sold for over $7,000 at an auction in 2017 as it has become a collectible item due to the fact that there’s no mint mark.

1968 No S Roosevelt Dime

Auction record: $40,250 This elusive coin sold for more than $40,000 in 2008. What makes this dime so rare is that it was the first proof coin that got struck by the Mint without the S mint mark accidentally.

1916 Doubled Die Buffalo Nickel

Auction record: $281,750 This extremely rare coin is significant in the collector community because of the unique error of the doubled 1916 date on it. It’s apparently worth thousands of dollars if found in any condition.
