What Makes a Coin Rare?
In short, a rare coin is one that was not minted in mass production during its original run, or it’s a coin that only exists in very limited quantities. Rare coins can be incredibly old, therefore there are few of them left in the world. On the other hand, they may be ones that are unique or created in a different way. For instance, minted incorrectly and put into circulation before the mistake was found and they stopped minting them. Frankly, rare coins have factors that create demand from investors and collectors like quality, rarity, and historical significance.
How To Value a Rare Coin?
What we suggest is… Your best bet is to conduct a search using the terms "coin dealer" and/or "gold dealer" along with your zip code or city name. This is the best way to see if you can locate a local dealer that you can get in touch with to confirm that they offer assessments. Next, schedule an appointment so that you can see them in person to show them your coin or coins. You can also check the Red Book of Rare Coin Values to see what your coin is worth.
