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 expensive coin auctions throughout the nation. Some of the earliest months are a bit sketchy, but as we became more proficient at researching and archiving data, the selling prices are more complete with the progression of time.  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, or Year 2008. You may view the same database of ultra rare US Mint coins in tabular format sorted by Coin Type or Selling Price by clicking either of these links:         Rare American Coins by Coin Type          Rare American Coins by Selling Price 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.  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.
