If you’re a coin collector, this information is for you: experts have already identified which coins are expected to increase in value in 2025. Specifically, they are referring to coins from the United States. According to Ian Russell, president of Great Collections, U.S. trophy coins are set to gain momentum in the market. Below, we provide information on which of these coins are likely to gain prominence next year.
High-value rare coins
Russell specifically mentioned the 1913 Liberty Head nickel, the 1804 silver dollars, and the 1893 San Francisco Morgan dollars. These coins, highly valued for their history and rarity, could reach prices ranging from $60,000 and up, depending on factors like the year of minting and the condition of the coin.
What are these coins like?
The 1913 five-cent coin with the Liberty Head is a piece that was produced in limited quantities without authorization from the U.S. Mint. This makes it one of the most famous rarities among U.S. collectors. Meanwhile, the 1804 silver dollar is one of the rarest coins in the U.S.
According to the American Numismatic Association, these coins were minted in 1834-35 when the U.S. Department of State decided to gift complete sets of U.S. coins, including the 1804 dollar, to certain Asian rulers who were willing to grant trade concessions to the U.S.
Finally, the 1893 San Francisco silver dollar has the lowest mintage of all the Morgan dollars issued between 1878 and 1921. Additionally, Russell has said that when collectors hear someone has a collection of Lincoln pennies, they want to know if any of the coins have distinctive marks.
Other key points to consider
The value of numismatic coins is also rising, according to Jack McNamara, co-founder of Rare Collectibles TV. The expert pointed out that private mints are using classic numismatic art combined with the latest technology to create dramatic and innovative coins. “This area of numismatics was overlooked in the past, but a true secondary market is developing, and these coins are starting to be presented by the leading auction houses,” he explained.
It’s worth mentioning that the value of a coin is closely linked to its condition. Therefore, if you’re a collector, here are some tips to help preserve your coins:
- Proper Handling: Handle the coins with cotton or nitrile gloves to prevent natural oils from your skin from damaging the coin’s surface.
- Store Them in Safe Places.
- Protect Them from Wear with Proper Materials.
- Regular Cleaning.
