1894-S Barber Dime

There is perhaps no single numismatic item so famous in the entire United States as the legendary Barber Dime of 1894-S. Mysteriously, there were only 24 of this dime minted -- and with only a few left, it fetches millions at auction whenever one ever does come onto the market.

1916 D Mercury Dime

This dime is the first-year of the Mercury Dime series, and only 264,000 were struck at the Denver Mint. Because of a very limited mintage, it is extremely rare and pristine examples can reach stratospheric numbers at auction.

1942/1 D Mercury Dime

Among the more interesting minting errors is the 1942/1 D Mercury Dime, where the “42” was stamped over a “41” due to the use of a die from 1941. This unusual error is sought-after by collectors, and makes a key item in any collection.

1975 No-S Roosevelt Dime

The 1975 No-S Roosevelt Dime was minted without the few examples of coins bearing the “S” mintmark. As most dimes from this year have the “S” mark, this type of coin is highly desired by numismatists who would love to include it in their collections.

1968 No-S Proof Roosevelt Dime

Like its similar 1975 counterpart, this "S" mark dime was minted in error by the Mint without the prevailing “S” mark in proof sets. It is one of the rarest modern coins, well documented pieces sell for millions auctioning to collectors worldwide.

1955 Double Die Roosevelt Dime

Interesting to note, the 1955 Double Die is a unique error coin in that inscriptions and date are actually doubled as a result of an alignment misalignment. This individuality helps increase its desirability as a collectible item, while making it a target for those serious about numismatics.

Rare Bicentennial Quarter (1976)

One of the most common was the 1976 Bicentennial Quarter, which celebrated 200 years of America. That said, some error versions are worth millions -- such as an ultra-rare minimal error version and a couple clad in silver.
