Check Your Couch And Wallet To See If You Have One Of These 15 Coins Worth Thousands Of Dollars

8. 1970-S Proof Washington Quarter

USA Coin Book

What sets this quarter aside from the rest is that there’s a small ‘S’ next to George Washington’s face, which means that the coin was made in San Francisco. On the tail side, the ‘1941’ year is also printed upside down. This quarter has been put up for auction previously for $35,000!

9. Ben Franklin half-dollar

Buy Gold And Silver

These kinds of coins with Ben Franklin’s face circulated in the ’40s. The coin was soon replaced with an image of John F. Kennedy in 1964 after his assassination. Because this half-dollar was around for two whole decades, it’s still out there and not as rare as the others. It could go for at least $100.

10. 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle

Coin World

This coin was originally super controversial. Congress was displeased when the U.S. Mint’s chief engraver chose to remove “In God We Trust” from their coins and replace it with Saint-Gaudens’ design. Because of its controversial nature, this coin goes for about $7 million.

11. Wheat Pennies

The Penny Lady

This extremely common penny that you might even be able to find at the bottom of your bag or wallet can be worth upwards of $300. Here’s a list of wheat pennies you should specifically look for:

  • 1901 S Wheat Penny ($430)
  • 1911 S Wheat Penny ($340)
  • 1914 S Wheat Penny ($670)
  • 1914 D Wheat Penny ($4,268)
  • 1915 S Wheat Penny ($320)
  • 1924 (S) Wheat Penny ($450 – $485)
  • 1927 Wheat Penny ($345)

12. 1992 “Close AM” Penny

The Spruce

This 1992 Lincoln penny sold for more than $20,000 at an auction in 2012. The only reason it’s worth so much? The “AM” in America is closer than it should be compared to any other normal coin. Fifteen of these coins are known to exist.

13. 2005 “In God We Rust” Kansas State Quarter

Coin Talk

An accident caused by grease build-up when creating this coin caused the “T” to be dropped, making the motto “In God We Rust”. This coin can be worth hundreds of dollars.

14. 2004 Wisconsin State Quarter

USA Coin Book

A few thousand coins that were minted in Wisconsin State were accidentally marked with an extra leaf on a husk of corn. For this reason alone, this coin can be worth up to $1,400.

15. 1982 No P Mintmark Roosevelt Dime

USA Coin Book

It’s important to note that all coins have a tiny letter on them to depict the location they were made from. This coin, in particular, forgot to put a “P” on their Roosevelt dime. These can go for about $300.
