US Coin Values Advisor maintains this list of the most valuable American (mostly) gold and silver coins ever sold. Currently there are 43 coins which have sold for over a million dollars, and many more for over $100,000. Top of the list is an 1804 gold eagle which sold for $5 million, back in September 2007, and a 1913 Liberty Head nickel which also went for $5 million. For most coin collectors or investors of course, this list is academic, since all but the super-rich will never have a chance to see coins like these, never mind own them. But it may be worth familiarising yourself with these rare coins, mostly from the 19th century, so that if the opportunity presents itself at a garage sale or a estate sale... OK, I'm dreaming.
