We generally don’t realize how much our own coin collection is worth. It might be more precious that you think. Same is the case with a 1913 nickel which got lost after its owner, George O. Walton, died in a bad crash along with his brilliant collection. The coins were later recovered by Walton’s family. Today that coin is worth $3 million!

A 2004 Wisconsin state quarter with a second line across the front leaf would be worth up to $300! Coins that have special markings from faulty coin presses, special edition coins and half-dollars are more valuable. The next time you get change, take a close look at it, you might have found a beauty.
