2. **1804 Draped Bust Dollar**: Known as the "King of American Coins," these were struck in the 1830s as diplomatic gifts, despite the 1804 date.

3. **1913 Liberty Head Nickel**: Only five known examples exist. This coin was secretly struck at the Philadelphia Mint and became famous for its rarity and mystery.

4. **1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle**: Most were melted down due to the Gold Reserve Act. Only a few escaped and are highly valuable.

5. **1943 Copper Penny**: Struck in copper instead of the wartime steel, these pennies are rare due to their accidental minting.

6. **1796 Draped Bust Quarter**: One of the earliest quarters produced, it features the Draped Bust design on the obverse and a small eagle on the reverse.

7. **1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent**: Notable for the initials of its designer, Victor David Brenner, this coin is prized among collectors due to its low mintage and the controversy surrounding the initials.
