It can be a hassle keeping coins but if your grandfather ever collected coins we encourage you to check if the collection is still floating around. Some old coins have insane value today.

Check Your Pockets!

Most coins are indeed worth nothing more than their stated monetary value, but some coins travel seamlessly through our hands and they are worth thousands.

Here’s a list of just a few coins that you might want to check your pockets and keep an eye out for!

The “No Mark” Dime From 1982

In 1982, a coin without a mint mark entered circulation for the first time in U.S. history.

Oddly, a lot of these dimes were found at the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio. So, if you visited there lately, you might want to check if you have one. They’re worth over $1,300.

The “Speared Buffalo” Nickel From 2005

This improperly minted nickel was made in 2005. That was also the year that they decided to use the buffalo design.

However, there were grooves on the back of the buffalo design that was actually a mistake. The mistake made them worth $1,265!

The Gold Mormon Coins From 1851

The Latter-day Saints created these $5 coins during the gold rush of the 1840s.

The gold used for these coins had come from Sutter’s Mill, California, and if you have one of them, prepare for a $50,000 payout!
