This most valuable coin list is dynamic and is based upon the few thousand or so United States coins found in our ever growing database (updated: 2024).
As of now our database consists almost entirely of coins from 1880s-2024, as we wanted to focus mostly on coins that were readily accessible and possibly still in circulation. The purpose of this page is to assist coin hunters and collectors in their pursuit of valuable coins. This page will save you a bunch of time, it represents hundreds possibly thousands of hours of research and detailed coin analysis. There are some older gold coins in the mix however.
