1913 Liberty Head V Nickel

The 1913 Liberty Head V Nickel isn't as ancient as some of the others on this list, but it doesn't make it any less valuable. It's one of the rarest coins in the world. The 1913 Liberty Head V Nickel was produced by the United States Mint from 1883 to 1913, however only five coins are said to have been produced in the last year.

Since the year 2000, examples of the currency have been auctioned off a few times, each time fetching millions of dollars. According to reports, one version sold for $4.15 million in 2005 and was later flipped for $5 million in 2007. In 2010, another specimen sold for more than $3.7 million, while another was sold for $4.56 million in 2018.

A few museums, notably the Smithsonian Institution, may have one of the coins on display.
