List of 8 coins worth more than $50 million, see if you have them?

In addition to being used as money, coins have been an important part of human history for hundreds of years. This is because of how rare they are, how they look, or the stories that go with them. Today, each of these eight U.S. coins is worth more than $50 million.

Flowing Hair Silver Dollar 1794

The first US silver dollar, the 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, is one of the rarest coins worldwide. This one-of-a-kind coin marks the beginning of U.S. money and shows how the early country wanted to be financially independent and respected.

1804 Draped Bust Dollar

The 1804 Draped Bust Dollar is a mysterious and interesting coin. It was made as a formal gift rather than for everyday use and is known as the “King of Coins.” As one of very few pieces ever made, this dollar has a special place in the history of coins, making fans want it very much.

1913 Liberty Head Nickel

Of the coins that have been made, the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is perhaps one of the rarest; only five are known to be in existence. Their secretive production and the overnight availability have only added to its charm. Each of them has been reportedly sold for millions of dollar and is now considered to be the emblems of the rarities of the American coinage. It has great historical value.

1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle

The 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, struck in the early 20th century, was never circulated due to the U.S. gold ban. There are now only a few pieces officially available. One was sold at auction for almost $20 million. Coin collectors know a lot about it because it is so rare and has a fascinating history.

1943 Copper Penny

Most U.S. pennies were made of steel in 1943 so that copper could be used for the war effort. However, a few were made with copper by mistake. Each “mistake” penny is now uncommon and worth millions. They are a memory of what the country did and sacrificed during WWII.

1861 Confederate Half Dollar

The Confederate Half Dollar is a one-of-a-kind piece of American Civil War history. Minted by the Confederate States of America, only a few original pieces exist, making it an important and valuable numismatic artifact and symbol of the nation’s turbulent past.

1808 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle

The 1808 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle is one of the most sought after, due to its rarity, of all the U.S. gold pieces. Not many were made and even fewer have survived today. Due to its rarity and its misshapen look, collectors and historians consider this coin as significant representing early American gold pieces.

1802 Half Dime

The second on the list of the rarest US coins is the 1802 half dime. Few of these early America currencies are available in the market as it is not only rare but also the minted units are not many. Due to non availability of some of its coins for its involvement in the early series of coinage in the United States, it has become mythical.
