1787 New York-Style Brasher Doubloon
Today, only 7 1787 New York-Style Brasher Doubloons are known to exist. These coins have been a media sensation ever since their discovery, breaking record after record.
They were discovered in 1848 and since then collectors have been looking for ways of getting their hands on them. In 1979, one doubloon broke a worldwide record after it sold for $750,000. It then continued to hold that record for a whole decade!
In January of this year, it was presented at Heritage Auctions in Texas, where one lucky buyer bid $9.36 million and won!
1794 ‘Carter’ Flowing Hair dollar coin
Known as the most valuable coin in the world, the 1794 ‘Carter’ Flowing Hair dollar coin is the finest known example of the first dollar coins that have been minted. Not only that, but experts go as far as to call it a national treasure, too!
In 2013, the mythical coin was sold for $10 million, breaking records all around the world. It’s hard to imagine that any other coin would ever become as valuable as times go by. But people today can only hope that one day their collections will amount to at least a few hundred dollars!
