1. **1794 Flowing Hair Dollar**: The first silver dollar minted in the U.S. It features a flowing hair design of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. 

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.

  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!
