5 Most Valuable Coins in 2025 

Some of the most valuable coins are always worth the hype as it has the potential to bring an even larger sum of money.

To accommodate the exploration, here are a few of the most wanted coins by collectors according to GO Banking Rates and Nasdaq

1. 1913 Liberty Head Nickel 

The 1913 Liberty Head Nickel still holds the title of the most valuable coin due its rarity. Featuring Buffalo design, there were reportedly only five known pieces in circulation.

With two of them under private collection belongings and the rest remain undisclosed, it’s almost like a huge treasure for collectors. 

The trading history of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel recorded several sales, first one was by the Eliasberg specimen for $1,480,000 in 1996, and then it was put to auction for  $1,840,000 in 2001. It was then sold to the Legend Numismatics for staggering $4,150,000 in 2005. 

2. 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar 

The 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar, which is counted to only 150 to 200 in circulation, remains one of the most wanted coins for collectors. Bearing a silhouette of Lady Liberty and an eagle on each side, the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar was once sold for a jaw-dropping price at $6.6 million.

However, it was reported that many varieties of the 1794 MS titled coins have been placed at auction for several thousand to $100K. 

3. 1940s Mercury Dime 

Among the other most valuable quarters, the uncirculated 1940s Mercury Dime serves as the prized possession for many collectors. Due to the preserved images and inscriptions, these kinds are always favorable. 

As part of the 1916 to 1945 series of ancient coins, there were 21.5 million 1940s Mercury Dime minted. Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman, the young Liberty-faced coins have been sold at $8,519 some times at auctions. 

4. Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle 

Originally valued at $20 back in 1907 and 1933, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle coin has an estimated valuation of $300,000.

The price somehow matches the historical significance it bears, given its prominent place in American numismatic history. The marvelous work of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens showcased exquisite artistry and intricate details, which further sky-jumped its price. 

5. 1909 S Indian Head Penny 

Designed by James Barton Longacre, 1909 S Indian Head Penny is a flawless contender of the most valuable coins list. The 300,000 minted coins have long received an NGC Genuine grade which explains their prominence.

As part of the Indian Cent series between 1859 to 1909, these coins were sold for $3,400 in 2021 at auctions. 

The enduring appeal of these most valuable coins continues to captivate collectors and investors alike, even in the face of economic uncertainty. If you are one of the fortunate who hold these quarters, check out how to sell rare coins here.
