Mercury Dime

The 1916-D Mercury Dime is highly sought after among collectors. Produced in Denver, it has a mintage of only 264,000 and is one of the rarest dimes to exist. Easily identified by the “D” mintmark that is located under the olive branch on the back, this dime is legendary because of its scarcity, and some pristine examples command up to $90 million.

Draped Bust

The 1796 Draped Bust Dime is a historical coin, as it was one of the first dimes ever minted in the U.S. There were originally about 6,000 made, so surviving examples are extremely rare. This dime is an early piece in American coinage and is worth up to $90 million in near-perfect condition.

Seated Liberty

The 1874-CC Seated Liberty Dime, minted in Carson City, is another treasure. The “CC” mintmark below the wreath on the reverse signifies its origin, and its limited mintage adds to its allure. In exceptional condition, this coin can fetch up to $90 million.

Barber Dime

Dubbed the “Holy Grail” of U.S. coin collecting, the 1894-S Barber Dime is extremely rare because only 24 were originally minted in San Francisco. Fewer than 10 examples exist, making it one of the most elusive dimes. In flawless condition, it can fetch a staggering $90 million.

Roosevelt Dime

No S Roosevelt Dime – The dimes in 1975 stood out for this reason. Its minting has a special mark of omission-this one is no “S,” and most all San Francisco-dimes had a small letter there. Few, very few remain, with its price as much as $90 million.

Bicentennial Quarter

The 1975 Bicentennial Quarter was minted to commemorate America’s 200th anniversary. It features a colonial drummer and dual dates, 1776–1976, on the reverse. Though many were minted, error coins or proof examples in perfect condition are very valuable. The unique pieces can sell for as much as $90 million.

Liberty Head Nickel

Not a dime, but a legendary piece of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel places it on this list. There are only five known examples and was never actually authorized. Intrigue is attached to the story of this rare piece, worth approximately $90 million.
