Coin dealers, just like any other type of dealer or business, requires stock that they can sell to the public. Rather than obtaining or acquiring their stock from a factory or manufacturer however, they obtain their coins from the public instead. Classic types of rare coins have to be acquired from more advanced collectors or from auctions but lesser rare coins can still show up just about anywhere including in your normal pocket change. Below are some coins that are often ignored by your average person despite being capable of bringing in real money, should a hobbyist notice it and offer it for sale to people interested in rare coin collecting.
If it weren’t for the diligence of some rapid coin collectors interested in rare coin collecting, many of the coins in the following list would go completely unnoticed. These coins are often found by way of careful scrutiny.
- The 2004 Wisconsin State Quarter, on coins featuring an extra leaf.
On some of the Wisconsin quarters minted in 2004, there is an extra leaf either below the corn husk or at the very base of the husk. The value of these coins ranges from $50 to $100 dollars.
- The 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar from Cheerios
These coins were placed randomly in a number of Cheerios cereal boxes after being packed in protective plastic sheets. These coins exhibit more detail than the later production coins. The value of these coins is as yet undetermined.
- The 5c Doubled Monticello from 1939
This is a 1939 Jefferson nickel, and while this coin is relatively easy to find, locating the doubled die reverse is not going to be as easy. The value for these coins is between $30 dollars and $500 dollars depending on the quality of the coin.
- D/horizontal D 5 cent piece from 1942
This Jefferson coin is not the same Wartime silver alloy, but rather it is the previous variety which is a copper and nickel alloy. More than 14 million coins were minted, which was a fairly large mint for the time period. The coins struck from the die with the error are relatively elusive, but still possible to be found. The value for these coins is between $30 dollars and $500 dollars depending on the quality of the coin.
- The 1955 Double-Die Cent
This is perhaps the kind of the doubled dies, as it has spectacular doubling. They were originally discovered in coin rolls. Nearly the entire output from the improperly struck die managed to reach to circulation, so you will really never known when one of these true beauties is going to show up. The value for these coins is between $500 dollars and $1,500 dollars depending on the quality of the coin.
