USA Rare Coins: Sorted by Month Sold

Here you'll find selling prices of the most prestigious of all USA rare coins, sorted according to Month Sold. This high-dollar rare coin list was compiled as we surveyed coin market sales data to feed into our Coin Value Tables. The results are presented in this section.

The pricing information for these USA rare coins were recorded beginning in Oct 2002. The majority of the values were gleaned from prices realized at ritzy expensive coin auctions.

Some of the earliest months are a bit sketchy, but as we became more proficient at researching and archiving data, the selling prices for a broader range of rare coins were cataloged. We review sales activity on a regular basis and update the database about once a month.

Because the database got so big and required too much time to download, we've broken the Month Sold sort into smaller segments: Rare Coin Sales from Years 2002-2003, (see below), Years 2004-2005, Year 2006, Year 2007, Year 2008, Year 2009, or Year 2010.

If the Month Sold sorts do not best fit your research needs, you may access the same database by choosing the "Face Value" or "Selling Price" categories, which are found when you click the "Link to Rare American Coins Database" feature located in the upper right hand corner of this page.  All the sorts are drawn from the same rare coin list, so the same coins show up in all the sorts, just arranged differently.

The ordinary coin collector may be shocked at the dollars paid for many of these coins. Selling prices of $100,000 and more are commonplace. Don't look for prices to go down anytime soon, either, not even in the current economy. These are the finest of all USA rare coins and almost always stimulate aggressive bidding amongst individuals with seemingly unlimited financial resources. It used to be numismatic taboo to mention investing and rare coins together in the same breath, but steadily increasing prices for this quality of coins may finally put this notion to rest.
