When it comes to rare coins, some pieces have shattered records and stunned the world by selling for well over $1 million.
Leading the pack is the legendary 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, believed to be the first silver dollar ever minted in the U.S.—it sold for a jaw-dropping $10 million in 2013!
Then there's the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, a $20 gold coin that was never officially released; one example sold for a mind-blowing $18.9 million in 2021, setting a new world record for any coin.
The 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is another heavy hitter—only five are known to exist, and one fetched over $4.5 million at auction.
Let's not forget the 1804 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, often called the "King of American Coins," which has seen sales upwards of $3 million
These coins aren’t just valuable because they’re old—they’re rare, steeped in history, and highly desired by the world’s top collectors.
So yes, tiny metal discs can—and do—sell for millions.
