One of the rarest coins in the world is the 1894-S Barber dime. According to the Heritage Auction, it is one of three of numismatic rarities in the United States–the other two being 1913 Liberty nickel and the 1804 dollar. The Heritage Auction says if you claim to have this dime, they will give you $10,000 to see the dime and authenticate it. Now isn’t that something?
So, you might want to check your pocket change....!

Highly unlikely!! :laughing7: But grandpa's passed down coin collection may have one rolling around in there!

I thought I found the 1913 once, it ended up being an altered coin! :BangHead:

When I was a kid, I removed the "rare" plug from my 1894-s hole in my Barber dime book. Dad wanted to know why, told him I planned on filling it someday.
I did.
There is a Love Token in its spot now.
You can't tell me it's NOT a 94-s:tongue3:

Actually! I've seen coins a guy repaired. There were a few that most people would never even know. He was good!

....Had a '43 copper cent my Grandfather left me and was earmarked for my son's education . . . Stolen by my ex-wife and is most likely the coin just sold for a mil.plus .

That would be tough!!!

I was the guy on the other side before, nothing worth that kind of money, but the guy that bought from ex-wives. It almost got me in trouble one time. Not by law, but by the ex-husband when he got out of prison and wanted to know where his guns and coins were. It was a legal transaction. But he was wanting to kill me!!!!! Whether he would have actually done it or not? I don't know. probably not or I wouldn't be typing this.:laughing7: Not a happy man!

This thread tempted me. In my early 20's, my grandmother gave me my grandfather's coins. I was the only grandchild she felt would cherish them and not sell them. Then my dad gave me his collection, a little bigger, mostly wheats. He also gave me my great grandfather's, only three coins. Now I'm going through them. $2,000,000 definitely covers the sentimental value!

Yeah you guys are a bad influence on me. I'm getting my allowance from the bank in all sorts of denominations and looking at serial numbers and coins. It's like playing the lottery except I'm not throwing any of my money away! Haha!
