The world most expensive coins - General

I have a penny that's made of steel from some war we were in and they needed all the copper for bullets and shit so they made pennies out of steel.

so you make a thread about expensive coins and you post one of the least expensive coins as your example?

Hey guys are those undated 20p coins still floating about? Can you still sell them for like £500?

I thought anything over 80% pure gold starts to get very soft, how is that coin 99%

Meh, I have some Roman coin that has Emperor Tiberius (I believe it is) on the front. Researched it, found the exact coin I was looking for and found out I'd only be able to get a few thousand for it... Ridiculous how coins this recent are worth more than that.

[QUOTE=Jallen;20769175]Impossible, only 5 were made and they were made by accident, they wouldn't have made one in 1911 and in 1913. Unless you just mean just a 1911 nickel in which case, lol.[/QUOTE] No, they made 5 1913s. I'll take pics of mine if you want but I don't feel like it now.

[QUOTE=jetboy;20840273]No, they made 5 1913s. I'll take pics of mine if you want but I don't feel like it now.[/QUOTE] Yes, please.

I want to find one of those nickles :-)

I have a 1978 German (FRG) pfennig, is it worth anything.

[QUOTE=GOOD GRAMMER;20839264]You did a great job reading the article posted :).[/QUOTE] This thread is dull You only provided a photo and a link should done better

[QUOTE=GOOD GRAMMER;20839416]Your dad use to collect these specific expensive coins? lol.[/QUOTE] expensive coins, yes, the coins on that site, no

[QUOTE=Peluri;20859159]expensive coins, yes, the coins on that site, no[/QUOTE] I was being sarcastic hahaha, but still interesting.

My grand dad had a coin from 1522. He had it in he's pocket and it fell out.

Yeah, for every valuable coin on earth theres another one that some moron drops down a drain or something [QUOTE=slippp22;20839643]I thought anything over 80% pure gold starts to get very soft, how is that coin 99%[/QUOTE] Should be pretty heavy too

Now that I think of it, I once had a chance to buy a coin worth over a thousand bucks for $5. To bad I didn't know it was worth so much. :(

I remember a while back in Australia some geniuses had the idea of minting a certain coin denomination made from silver. Pretty soon people all over were finding these coins, melting them down and selling the silver, as it'd be worth maybe 5 times more than the actual coin itself, this left the government wondering where the fuck all their X type of coins were going. So they made more. Eventually they realised though and stopped making them with silver.
