US Coin Collecting 365 - Four Most Valuable American Coins in Circulation

US Coin Collecting 365 - In this post, we'll list four of the most valuable U.S. coins that are still in circulation currently. The first is the 1969-S Lincoln Cent With a Doubled Die Obverse, which is worth about $35,000.

Most of these coins were pulled out of circulation by the Secret Service decades ago. The second most valuable coin is the 1970-S Small Date Lincoln Cent With a Doubled Die Obverse, worth about $3,000.

Another valuable penny is the 1972 Lincoln Cent With a Doubled Die Obverse, which will get you about $500. Look for a gouge above the "d" in "united" to verify the authenticity.

Last but not least is the 2004-D Wisconsin State Quarter With an Extra Leaf, worth $200-$300. A mistake in the die makes the ear of corn on the lower-left-hand side seem to have an extra leaf.
