Many people are unaware that there are ancient coins circulating, whose value could get them out of financial problems, so it is advisable to review the pieces for which collectors are willing to pay real fortunes.
These are the 7 coins that are in circulation and that can reach million-dollar prices.
1927-D The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
It is a gold coin manufactured from 1907 to 1933 by the US Mint, and is named in honor of the designer Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The piece was minted by the Denver Mint, but before long, the mint melted most of them, so very few remain. This piece can sell for a million dollars.
1937 Buffalo Nickel 3 Legged
The story goes that a worker, when trying to repair a die, polished it too much, erasing one of the legs of the buffalo depicted on the coin, so it only appears with three legs instead of 4. The fact has caused some people to file the correct coins with the intention of cutting corners and selling them at a higher price.
1943-S Lincoln Head Copper Penny
These pennies, which are still in circulation, are special because their reliefs stand out and they were made of copper and bronze. Its price can reach $10,000 dollars.
1969-S Lincoln Cent with double printing
This coin, whose price can reach $125,000, has a printing error in both the letters and the figure of Abraham Lincoln, causing an effect similar to the third dimension.
Wisconsin State Quarter
The quarter dollar coin, minted by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1999, sells for about $300 because it features an image of an ear of corn with a line that appears to give it an extra leaf.
Jefferson Nickel-D 2005
These coins have details that could be considered errors, but rather they are poor designs. The Jefferson 5-cent coin features a buffalo that looks like it has an arrow through it. That detail makes collectors pay up to $1,264 dollars for one of them.
Kansas State Quarter 2005
A spelling error gives value to this silver coin, as it says on one side “In God We Rust”, instead of “In God We Trust”. It is said that a little grease got stuck to the die where the letter ‘T’ was, which caused some coins to go into circulation with that phrase. The price they pay for the coin is $100 dollars.
