For coin collectors and numismatics enthusiasts, the search for rare coins never ends. Some coins, once thought only as a simple pocket change, have skyrocketed in value over the years. Recently, it has been reported that every $93 million is worth in five rare dime and a bicentennial quarter! If you are lucky enough to find one of these rare pieces in your collection or loose change, you can hold a fortune in your hands.
1916-D Mercury Dime
The 1916-D Mercury Dime is the most sought-after collector’s denomination. Denver minted this coin in small quantities of 264,000 coins thus making it scarce and highly valued. Lady Liberty’s winged head on the coin adds an amazing touch to its lovely design by symbolizing freedom of mind.
Because of intense collector demand this dime can fetch as much as $93 million if it is in mint condition. Finding such a dime in your loose change would be equivalent to finding a valuable piece of luck.
1894-S Barber Dime
The 1894-S Barber Dime is one of the rarest coins ever to be minted by the United States. San Francisco only managed to produce 24 pieces of this coin and the existing population numbers at fewer than ten coins as we speak today. Numismatics identify this coin as a true gem of the collecting community because it initially emerged as limited edition offerings.
Its incredibly low production mintage of only 24 pieces from the San Francisco mint have coined the Barber Dime as a mythical coin due to its design featuring Lady Liberty with a wreath. The condition-perfect Barber Dime is worth $93 million while earning the title as the ultimate dime in collecting aspirations.
1796 Draped Bust Dime
The original Draped Bust Dimes were created in 1796. The very first dime minted by the United States had Lady Liberty adorned in robes on one side and a small eagle statue on the other side.
The coin has high value with collectors because it is both historically significant and beautiful as well as being of great age. The perfectly preserved Draped Bust Dime is valued at $93 million which makes it a highly valued relic of America’s history coins.
1874-CC Liberty Seated Dime
The Liberty Seated Dime of 1874-CC was minted at Carson City Mint where American activity during the silver rush thrived robustly. A “CC” mint marker located under the reverse wreath indicates its Carson City origin. The coin features Lady Liberty seated on a rock to express strength as well as liberty.
Few untouched examples of this coin are available in the marketplace because they fetch auction prices of $93 million. As a collector’s item, a 1874-CC Liberty Seated Dime is an original American frontier relic.
1913 Liberty Head Nickel
All the non-dimes or quarters, the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is unique due to its rarity and paranormal nature. Production in only five coins took place under unusual circumstances though the United States Mint never had the intention of releasing them.
Because of its very scarcity and distinct history the nickel has become a prized possession for collectors who are willing to spend as much as $93 million. To own such a rare piece means you get to hold a piece of American history with you all day.
Bicentennial Quarter
The United States mint created the 1976 Bicentennial Quarter as a celebration of its two-century anniversary. American quarters are plentiful and most are available in huge quantities but certain errors made during the manufacturing process create rare variations which become highly valued.
These mistakes combined with its historical significance give it an extreme value of $93 million. Finding any of these rare minting variations would be a fortune in your hands.
Conclusion
Five unique dimes and the Bicentennial Quarter included in this set have a value of $93 million each that ranks as among the most valuable coins ever minted in American history. Individuals with one of these coins may literally possess a fortune that can change their whole life.
