What Is The Most Expensive Penny In The World

A gold penny minted in the 1930s is the world’s most expensive penny: the $20 coin was auctioned at Sotheby’s on for a record 18.87 million. It belongs to the series of the last coins known as the Double Eagle and created as regular tender, which were minted in the USA until 1930.However, some specimens later found their way onto the collectors before being confiscated by authorities – with the exception of one, which was in the selection of the then Egyptian king. 

The 1794 Liberty Dollar

The Liberty Nickel, dated 1913, is one of the greatest mysteries of coinage and one of the most notorious mis-strikes in the world. Earle Fraser’s famous buffalo was intended to appear on every 1913 coin. And yet there are five nickels from 1913 with the old style of Liberty.

Dei Gratia Dollar 1911: 1,000,000

The introduction of a coin was planned for Canada in 1911. The embossing dies were already done. The Canadian government decided against the introduction -a reason for this is not known. These coins were not known to exist until 1960. In 1960, the well-known coin dealer B.A. Seaby announced the purchase of such a coin. Seaby later discovered the second specimen in the Royal Mint in London.

The prices of the most valuable coins from around the world continue to rise steadily over the years due to their selections and value.
