5 coins expected to become more valuable this year
The 1913 Liberty Head five-cent coin
The 1913 Liberty Head nickel is one of the most sought-after coins by collectors due to its rarity. This coin was produced in extremely limited quantities without authorization from the United States Mint, making it nearly impossible to find one in circulation. Just one of these coins was sold at auction for $5 million in 2007.
1794 Loose Hair Dollar
This is the first coin with a face value issued by the United States government. It was minted between 1794 and 1795. It features a bust of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle framed by a crown on the reverse. There are an estimated 150 to 200 coins in circulation today. One sold for over $6 million.
