The United States Mint honored the nation's valiant Civil War leader in 1909 by creating the Lincoln Wheat Penny.
Sculptor Victor David Brenner painstakingly created it, and at the time, it was unique since it was the first coin in the country's history to depict a historical figure.
When copper became scarce during World War II, producers began using steel to make cents, which caused the coin's popularity to decline.
Nonetheless, some believe that a very rare edition of the Lincoln coin, one of the most precious in the nation's history, was produced in 1943 using copper blanks from 1942.
According to reports, the estimated value of one of those 1943 coins is an astounding $195 million.
On their hunt list for rare coin collections, aficionados can add a plethora of additional rare coins.
At least nine extremely rare coins worth millions of dollars are in circulation, according to Bankrate.
These include the 1787 Brasher Doubloon, which sold for $9.36 million in 2021; the 1787 Fugio cent, which was valued at up to $10,000; the 723 Umayyad Gold Dinar, which sold for $6 million in 2011 and $4.8 million in 2019; the 1343 Edward III Florin
which sold for $850,000 in 2006 but is currently estimated to be worth $6.8 million; and the 1974 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, which sold for $12 million at an auction in 2022.
