Due of its rarity, another of these coins is projected to maintain its multimillion-dollar price tag for at least a decade. After being named “The King of U.S. Coins” by the American Numismatic Association (ANA), this coin is unlikely to disappoint enthusiasts.
Another coin that could cost millions is the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel. Beeghly and Company Jewelers stated that one sold for $4.2 million in 2022, one of just five in circulation.
Two are in museums, while three are privately owned. If one of these goes to auction in ten years, it may fetch seven figures.
