Coins are arguably one of the most collectible artifacts that reflect historical periods. They
require very little attention in terms of upkeep. Extremely rare coins, moreover, do not lose
value over time. Sellers are known to earn millions with the sale of just one coin. Here are two
of the most valuable antique coins in the world.
The record for the most expensive coin ever sold is held by the 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar.
Priced at $10,016,875, this coin is believed to be the very first silver dollar minted in the
United States. When the United States Mint opened in 1792, they only produced copper coins
and very few pattern coins in its first two years. The coin was kept in pristine condition for over
200 years.

The 1933 Double Eagle is a twenty dollar gold piece and was sold in 2002 for the price of
$7,590,020. Even though the mint produced 500,000 pieces, an executive order made by
President Roosevelt had all twenty dollar gold pieces recalled from the general public and
ordered the mint to melt all of the remaining twenty dollar gold pieces. It is currently illegal to
own one except one that was in the possession of King Farouk of Egypt. A private seller who
held the coin and the Mint eventually came into an agreement to sell the coin and split the
profit.
