There Are Dimes In Circulation Worth $1.9 Million. Do You Know How To Spot Them

Many people have a piggy bank – well, most kids. I actually have a jar I throw loose change into. Every so often, I count it and exchange it for bills. Coins are just too heavy to carry around! As you know, there are many coins that are worth quite a bit. Coin Values has some dimes listed as being worth up to $1.9 million – who couldn’t use that kind of money?!

If you have a coin collection or just a jar of loose change – you could (maybe) be sitting on a gold mine!

Some of the dimes worth millions are still in circulation! The ‘money making’ dime was minted in 1894 and is known as the 1894-S Barber Dime (considered ultra-rare and most popular of all coins made in the United States, according to Coin Facts).

In 1894, John Daggett, then superintendent of the San Francisco Mint had 24 of the dimes made, and he gave them to family and friends.

Nine of the original dimes have been accounted for, that means the remaining 15 are still out there! The other Barber dimes from 1894 are not worth as much as those two.

So, check your coin jar, between the couch cushions, and your kid’s piggy bank! You may have a very valuable coin! If you have an older coin and want to see if it is worth some really money, find a coin appraiser.
