Coins With Hidden Value

1894-S Barber Dime – $2 Million

USA Coin Book

Perhaps one of the rarest coins on the list, the 1894-S Barber dime is considered highly valuable. The United States barber coinage specialness is partly due to how few have ever existed. It is believed that only 24 were minted and potentially only 9 or 10 are still out there.

With the odds of finding one so low, it’s no wonder barber dimes are often priced in the millions. In 2005, a collector secured this rare wonder for $1.3 million. The numbers go up from there, depending on grade. In 2007, another lucky bidder scored their very own barber dime for roughly $1.9 million.
