Rare numismatics coins.

-
The United States has a rich numismatic history, and there are several valuable coins sought after by collectors. Here are some notable examples: 1. **1794 Flowing Hair Dollar**: The first silver dollar issued by the United States Mint, the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity. 2. **1804 Draped Bust Dollar**: Although dated 1804, these dollars were actually minted several years later and were intended for diplomatic gifts rather than circulation. They are among the most famous and valuable U.S. coins. 3. **1913 Liberty Head Nickel**: Only five examples of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel are known to exist, making it one of the rarest and most valuable American coins. 4. **1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle**: Although nearly a half million were minted, most were melted down before they could be released due to changes in currency laws. However, a small number were illegally taken out of the Mint, making them extremely rare and valuable. 5. **1943 Copper Penny**: During World War II, copper was needed for the war effort, so pennies were made of steel coated in zinc. However, a few pennies were mistakenly struck on copper planchets, making them exceedingly rare and valuable. 6. **1804 Bust Silver Dollar**: Like the 1804 Draped Bust Dollar, the 1804 Bust Silver Dollar is highly valuable due to its rarity and historical significance. 7. **1796 Draped Bust Quarter**: This quarter is one of the earliest quarters minted by the United States Mint and is highly sought after by collectors. 8. **1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent**: This cent features the initials "VDB" on the reverse, representing the designer Victor David Brenner. It's highly prized by collectors, especially in uncirculated condition. These are just a few examples of valuable U.S. coins. Rarity, condition, and historical significance all play significant roles in determining their value.

  The rarer the coin is the better. For example you wouldn't invest money on a 1956-d wheat cent in EF condition. With a mintage of  1,098,201,100   One can see why this would not be a wise investment!   A good coin to invest in in my option is A 1909-s vdb wheat cent because it has a mintage of around  484,000 and in EF condition the coin is worth 1,000 dollars but in 1968 the coin was only worth 165 dollars with inflation adjusted that is between 500-600 dollars. So you purchased the coin back in 1968 you would  make money!
