This guide will aid you in finding what rare coins are worth collecting. From the more affordable Mercury dimes to the ultra expensive $20 Saint Gaudens this guide has a list of the most coveted and collectible coins available today.
Coin collecting is not only fun to do but is also exciting. It can be something of a challenge to find that one rare coin to add to your collection. If you are not sure which coins are worth a lot or are very rare to find, then here is a guide which could help you identify them.
Gold coins circulation stopped during the early 1930s making them very rare and thus equally expensive. They make a good investment because gold is a commodity that should always retain its value to due its scarcity. For this reason, they are also a very good coin to invest in.
The Liberty Seated Dollar is another rare coin. They are very hard to find as they were last produced during the 19th century. The fact that nobody is really sure when exactly they went out of circulation is what makes them all the more rare and elusive.
The Twenty cents coins that were minted between 1875 to 1878 are very much worth looking out for. They resemble the quarters circulating today but are far more valuable and a great addition to any collection.
Minted from 1892 to 1915 the Barber half dollars are coins which are sought after by collectors who specialize on dates or type of coins. The trouble faced by them is finding Barber coins that are in good condition and if they do the sky is the limit in terms of their value.
The 1917 type One Standing Liberty Quarter is another coin very much in demand. It shows the exposed breast of Ms. Liberty and was only minted for 2 years. As you can imagine this coin caused a major uproar at the time and for this reason it was only in circulation for a year.
The market value of Mercury dimes is $50 a piece. Not so expensive as they have been produced a few times over the course of the 20th century but is never the less a coin that is also worth owning as it will no doubt go further up in value.
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar were only circulated for 4 years. It is one of the most appealing and beautiful coins for a collector to have in his or hers collection and is one of the rarest. Truly a great coin to adorn any highly prized collection.
Another rare coin is the Texas Commemorative Half Dollar. This is no surprise as only 150,000 of them were minted over 4 years. Only about two third of that number is available to purchase or trade which makes it one of the hardest to find.
The “creme de la creme” or “Rolls Royce” of coins is the $20 Saint Gaudens. Sold for the best part of 8 million dollars at auction it boasts a truly superb design and it is so sought after that its value has always remained the same even during the market recession periods of the early 1980s.
As you can see rare coins such as these are what every collector aspire to having in their collection. They are not only hard to find but when you do find them, the price for them will be almost prohibitive. But certainly if you do have the money to invest on these coins you will find it to be money very well invested. This is what makes coin collecting so challenging as one day you hope to trade your coins up to the point where you can afford these rare coins. And when you do you will certainly feel like all your passion and hard work has been all worth it.
