Today's rare coin market is flaming hot. Knowing what, when and how to purchase valuable coins is the secret to adding 15 to 20% to an investor’s portfolio. Buying coins that are rare, popular and that have a historical significance can bring you 100% to 200% or more gain for your money. The key to appreciation of rare coins is to know which ones to purchase and how much to pay for them.
There are some fairly valuable U.S. error coins and die varieties in circulation today. These images must be looked at under a 6x power magnifier so nothing is missed. The 1969-S Lincoln cent with a doubled die obverse is rare. These pennies are valued at $35,000 or more. The 1970-S small date Lincoln cent with a doubled die obverse has only one side that shows doubling. It is worth about $3,000 or more. If both sides show doubling, the coin probably exhibits strike doubling and is worth very little. There are four rare coins that are worth more than $5 million each, but only if they are in good condition. These coins are the 1804 Silver Dollar, the star-crossed 1933 Double Eagle, the 1913 Liberty Nickel and the 1861 Double Eagle. The 1804 silver dollar in good condition is worth $10 million, making it the most valuable coin in America. There are only 19 copies of it known to exist in the world and it is the envy of numismatists (currency collectors) everywhere.
The stock market is so volatile that a $1 million portfolio could drop to $20,000 very quickly. Investors are starting to pay attention to rare coins because they have some degree of lasting value. They are really artifacts and there are a finite number of rare coins left.
