Some rare coins are circulating, including some Bicentennial quarters and dimes; at times, they fetch a value up to $570,000. Such coins remind people of important events in American history and form treasure among collectors.
Bicentennial Quarter
The Bicentennial quarter that has come off the presses of the U.S. Mint was certainly a collectible source for the country’s 200th birthday. However, some of these quarters are extremely rare because of errors associated with their minting, the small numbers produced, or some other characteristic.. One of them, not more than 5,000 ever made, can sell for a staggering $570,000.
1894-S Barber Dime
Another rarely discovered coin is the 1894-S Barber dime, and this coin is rarer even than the Bicentennial quarter. Only 24 of these were minted in total. This dime is sought after by collectors to be one of the costliest coins in their collections. Mint-condition pieces of this dime can sell for as much as their rarer counterparts, the Bicentennial quarters.
Value to Collectors
They’re worth this because of their rarity, but most of all, their history. You’ll be able to get some good money for these kinds of coins, and they’re rich for anyone that’s able to pick one up off of circulation.
What to Look Out For
If you find a Bicentennial quarter or any other old coin, take a closer look at it. Check minting dates, errors, or features that make the coin special and more expensive.
Although such incidents of finding priceless treasures are quite unlikely, they are not impossible. A random glace through your change may often lead to the discovery of your change, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
