These 5 Rare Dimes and a Bicentennial Quarter Are Worth $25 Million – A Collector’s Dream

If you have old coins, pay attention—you might have a rare coin that can be worth lakhs or even crores!

The Unique Charm of Coins
The value of rare coins depends on several factors.

Low number of mintage: Coins that have been minted in very small numbers are rare.
Historical significance: Some coins are associated with an important historical time, which increases their demand.
Good condition: The newer and cleaner the coin, the higher its price.
Minting errors: Some coins have printing errors, making them more rare and expensive.
Collectors’ demand: If the demand for a coin is very high, its price can increase.
Now let’s know about those 4 dimes and 1 bicentennial quarter, which can sell for crores!

1894-S Barber Dime

Estimated value (2025): ₹16 to ₹17 crore

It is called the “King of Dimes” because it is counted among the rarest coins of America.

It comes in Liberty Head design.

In good condition, its auction price can exceed ₹16 crore!

1916-D Mercury Dime

It is one of the most special coins of the 20th century.

1942/1 Mercury Dime (Overdate Error)

Estimated Price (2025): ₹4 lakh to ₹8 lakh

This is a unique example of a minting error, which has made it rare and valuable.

History
In the last months of 1941, the Philadelphia Mint mistakenly reused the 1941 minting plate. This results in a faint “1” appearing below the “2” on some coins.

Key points of identification
It is dated 1942 but a “1” appears faintly below the “2”.

There is no mint mark, as it was minted at the Philadelphia Mint.

If in good condition, this coin can sell for ₹4 lakh to ₹8 lakh.

1975 No S Proof Roosevelt Dime

Estimated value (2025): ₹3 crore to ₹4 crore

This is a modern rare coin, with only 20 copies in existence in the world.

History
Generally, proof coins which are minted at the San Francisco Mint have the “S” mark on them. But in 1975, by mistake, some coins did not have an “S”, making them extremely rare.

Key points of identification
It has 1975 written on it, but there is no “S” mint mark.
It comes in proof quality, which means that its surface is as shiny as a mirror.

Bicentennial Quarter (1976)

Can it really sell for crores? No!

If the 40% silver version is completely safe, it can sell for ₹400-₹1200.

But the rumors of it selling for lakhs and crores are wrong!

Conclusion

If you have an old coin, check it carefully! Some coins, such as the 1894-S Barber Dime or the 1975 No S Dime, can sell for crores. But know the truth before believing rumors like the Bicentennial Quarter.
