The collector, who typically posts videos about all kinds of coins and the exact details on what makes them rare or valuable<\/a>, said to look for one thing in particular: the Doubled Die Obverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Double die<\/a> refers to an error that happens during the strike process making these pennies very valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Altogether, there are three things to watch for with this particular penny: the date, missing mintmark, the words LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any of these parts have doubling on them, you may be in luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Double Die error happens when the metal pieces used to create the coin\u2019s features strike multiple times to embed the image or text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, when the die strike is misaligned, letters, numbers and images on some coins get marked twice in slightly different places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These tend to be pretty easy to spot as the error is fairly noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other important factor is the missing mintmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While many coins are missing a mintmark, the value is found in the intention: if it’s left out on accident or on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the mintmark is left out on accident, that’s when collectors will pay big bucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This particular penny is one of three that has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS) selling for $336,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to check your spare change for any rare pennies,<\/a> nickels<\/a>, dimes<\/a> and other coins as many of them could sell for thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, the most valuable coins are ones with a low mintage or an error, as collectors find those coins are some of the rarest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, coin experts will pay top dollar if they are also well-struck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great website to check if your coins are worth anything is eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You just need to search the full coin name, select the “sold” listing and then toggle the search to “highest value\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your coins are rare and valuable, you can sell them on eBay or go through a specialist site such as Coinappraiser or USA Coin Book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun revealed how\u00a0your nickel<\/a>\u00a0could be worth up to $8,000 and how this\u00a01974 penny<\/a>\u00a0could be worth $2million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A COIN collector has opened up about why certain pocket change can fetch an enormous sum, and it all has<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[254,3421],"tags":[3621,888,3620],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10894"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10894"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10894\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10897,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10894\/revisions\/10897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The exact details to look for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
