Over the last few years, some incredible
prices have been paid for rare American coins. Numismatic scarcities
commanding over a million dollars, once unheard of, are now becoming a
semi-regular occurrence.
While monitoring market trends for the purpose of updating our
Coin Value Tables,
we also record into a database the sales
prices for these extremely rare coins. You can access the database by Face Value, Selling Price, or Month Sold, or by clicking the "Link to Rare
American Coins Database" option located in the upper right hand corner
of this page.
This link is a gateway to help you navigate quickly to more
narrowly defined areas of interest. There's only one master database,
but
we've pre-sorted it several different ways for your convenience. If,
for
example, you're wanting to know more about rare Half Dimes, you should
use the "Half Cents to Quarters" link under the "Sorted by Face Value"
category, which is where the Half Dimes are cataloged. If you
want to search for coins by price, then use the "Sorted by
Selling Price" category. If you're curious about when
something was sold, click the "Sorted by Month Sold" category.
We started regularly recording the pricing information for these rare
coin
wonders in Oct 2002. Most of the values are prices realized at highly
publicized coin auctions. We continue to review sales activity on a
regular basis and add new information about once a month.
