The 9 Most Valuable Coins Ever Sold
1943 Copper Lincoln Cent
During the World War II copper scarcity, this penny was inadvertently struck on a bronze planchet that was normally used for one-cent pieces. Values could vary from $10,000 to $200,000 based on the circumstances.
1942/1 Mercury Dime
a doubled die error in which there are two faintly off-center impressions of the design. High grades can have values as high as $100,000.
The Double Vision: DDO Lincoln Cent
The 1955 DDO Lincoln Cent’s “double image” effect on the coin’s obverse is the result of a minting error that makes the piece extremely rare. A perfect DDO Lincoln Cent is worth more than $125,000.
Twice Struck Design: DDR Buffalo Nickel
Another interesting error coin is the 1935 DDR Buffalo Nickel, which was produced as a consequence of a duplicate design on the master hub. As a result, the coins that this die created had double images. In 2007, it fetched $104,650 at auction, and in March 2023, it sold for $2,504 on eBay.
Missing Identity: “No D” Lincoln Cent
The Denver Mint’s die failed to stamp the “D” mint mark, turning the 1922 “No D” Lincoln Cent become an erroneous coin. In February 2023, a “No D” penny was sold for $1,977 on eBay; the highest auction price ever was $92,000 in 2008.
