Modern Marvels: The Sacagawea and Presidential Dollars

Take for instance the modern dollar coins from the Sacagawea Dollars and the Presidential Dollar series. Some Sacagawea Dollars are known to have been struck on the wrong planchets, creating an off-metal transitional error and making them worth thousands.

Examples of valuable coins include the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, 1913 Liberty Head Nickel, 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, and 1804 Silver Dollar. The value of a coin can also depend on factors such as its mint mark, age, and rarity.

When it comes to valuable coins, nothing compares to the 1933 Double Eagle. The Double Eagle, the last gold currency struck in the U.S., sold for a whopping $18.9 million in 2021. First minted in 1907, the coin features an image of Lady Liberty on its obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse, Smithsonian reported.

While most modern pennies are only worth their one-cent denomination, some rare pennies can be worth thousands of dollars, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars. The minting of US pennies has come to an end for various reasons, but the one-cent denomination will always be a coin collecting favorite.

The Peace Dollar was minted for a limited time – from 1921-1928 and from 1934-1935. Yet, it remains one of the most popular U.S. dollar coins. The limited mintage of peace dollars is a part of the attraction. Another part of the reason is its historical value.

Some of the most valuable modern quarters include: The 1999-P Connecticut Broadstruck Quarter. The 2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf Low and High Quarters. The 2005-P Minnesota Doubled Die Quarter.

That's what happened to several pennies produced in 1982, which pushed their value up from 1 cent to nearly $20,000. The penny in question is the 1982-D Small Date Copper Alloy Lincoln Cent, which sold at auction in 2016 for $18,800, according to Numismatic News.

The 1941 quarter has at least six doubled-die errors plus the Large-S and Small-S mint mark varieties, according to Coin Value Lookup. All these errors make these quarters worth big paychecks. Regarding finding a quarter worth $35,000, the coin sold had the Canadian “1941” imprint behind the U.S. “DOLLAR.”

1849 Double Eagle Gold Coin

The one remaining specimen is carefully preserved at National Numismatic Collections at the Smithsonian Institution. The 1849 Double Eagle is currently the rarest and most valuable coin in the world, with an estimated value of around $20 million.

The 1924-S Buffalo Nickel is another highly sought after item. It is produced in small batches, and typically costs between $2,500 and $4,000. The 1919-D Buffalo Nickel has an estimated value of approximately $1,713, but its widespread use makes the high-quality nickel difficult to obtain.
