A number of 2005 Kansas state coins minted in Philadelphia were incorrectly imprinted with the motto “In God We Rust” as a build-up of grease in the die meant the 'T' didn't print. These so-called 'error coins', which are in circulation right now, are worth anything up to $100 apiece depending on their condition.

It's always a good idea to check the serial numbers on the bills in your wallet or purse. Fancy serial numbers command surprisingly high prices. By way of example, so-called repeater and super-repeater notes with serial numbers that replicate the same one, two or three digits sell for up to $160 on eBay and similar auction sites, and sometimes fetch significantly more.

Keep your eyes peeled for misprints. They can range from bills with incorrectly-colored seals and orientations that are off to upside down or double-printed serial numbers. This 2006 dollar bill featuring a double-printed serial number sold recently on eBay for just under $200. The weirder the misprint, the more valuable the note is likely to be.

There's a likelihood this coin could show up in your change, so look out for it. All US coins should have a mint mark, be it P for Philadelphia, S for San Francisco, D for Denver, and W for West Point, but a relatively large number of 1982 Roosevelt dimes were released without a mark. If you spot one that lacks a mint mark next to the year stamp, it could be worth up to $300.

While rare and seldom used, the $2 bill remains in circulation, though relatively few are printed. They aren't worth much more than their face value apart from pristine red seal notes that were issued in 1928. These crisp immaculate bills fetch decent prices at auction – a particularly fine example sold recently on eBay for just under $380.

As many as 50,000 Wisconsin state extra leaf quarters were issued accidentally by the Denver Mint in 2004. Two error varieties exist: the low leaf variety, which depicts an arched leaf jutting out sideways on the reverse of the coin; and the high leaf version, which shows an additional leaf poking out of the cheese wheel that touches the corn husk leaf. They are worth up to $400 each, so if you find one in your change make sure you hang onto it!

An estimated 20,000 examples of the 1972 doubled die pennies slipped through the net, many of which are still in circulation. One of the most common minting errors, doubled die coins are created when the die imprints a misaligned image on the coin, giving the lettering and numbers a blurry look. The fuzzy effect is pretty pronounced on these one cent coins. They are worth up to $500 each.

Another type of fancy serial number bill, a 'star note' features an asterisk (or star) at the end of the serial number. These notes are printed to replace faulty ones and, since no two serial numbers can be the same, the asterisk is printed at the end of the serial number instead of a letter. Most aren't worth a lot more than their face value, but the most valuable fetch up to $500 so if you find one make sure you don't spend it.

In 1999, the Philadelphia Mint issued around 400 Lincoln Memorial pennies with a definite space between the A and M in the word “AMERICA” on the reverse of the coin – this is what you should look out for. The other coins issued have virtually no space between the letters, which look like they are touching. The so-called 'Wide AM' coins are now worth up to $500 apiece.

https://i.postimg.cc/BbJGV4Cv/0.jpg

Another error coin, up to 24,000 doubled die pennies were released by the Philadelphia Mint in 1955. Many of these ended up in packs of cigarettes in New England vending machines as the price per pack was 23 cents, but the machines could only take quarters so the pennies were added to the packs to even up the price. These circulated coins, which feature the telltale blurred lettering and numbers on the reverse, are worth up $2,000 to each.

Notes with serial numbers made up of digits that are all identical are rare. Only one in 11 million bills printed have this type of serial number. As a result, they are worth big bucks. Considered lucky by some, this dollar bill with a serial number entirely comprised of sevens sold recently on eBay for $600, but a $100 bill made up of ones from 2006 was available recently on the CoolSerialNumbers site for a remarkable $4,500.

https://i.postimg.cc/2jxYBLzL/0.jpg

Notes that have serial numbers with digits that ascend or descend are pretty prized. Called ladder bills, the most sought-after are the true or perfect ladder serial numbers 12345678 and 87654321. They are exceedingly scarce and represent only one in 96 million bills printed, hence their high value.

You'll have hit the jackpot if you discover one of these babies in your change. Only 50 specimens max of the 1969-S doubled die Lincoln penny escaped the mint and made it into circulation. Michigan collector Michael Tremonti found one in 2007 while searching through a 50-coin roll and it was later valued at a sensational $126,500.

If you have some very old bills stashed away somewhere check for state-issued notes, as many of these are worth significantly more than their face value. This Alaskan banknote, for instance, was printed during the state's famous Klondike gold rush and was among the first $5 bills issued by the First National Bank of Fairbanks. It was sold in 2012 by Heritage Auctions for $246,750.

During World War II pennies were struck in zinc-coated steel as copper was needed for the war effort, but a tiny batch was accidentally minted in copper. Up to 26 examples of the Philadelphia and San Francisco-minted coins are estimated to be floating around. In 1947, 16-year-old Don Lutes Jr discovered one of these coins in his lunch money change, and kept it. It sold at auction for a whopping $204,000. The best way to identify a 1943 copper penny is to use a magnet. Steel pennies will stick, while the valuable copper rarities will not.

Here's a 2004 $20 bill that, unusually, had a Del Monte banana sticker attached to it before being printed with its security numbering. Prior to being sold at auction it was valued at $57,500, nearly 3,000 times its face value, but it defied all expectations when it sold in a Texas auction for a whopping $396,000, a record price for a banknote with an error.

Unlike many other low serial number bills, you won't see this beauty in circulation. If only. This 1931 $10 silver certificate with the serial number A00000001A has been valued by numismatic experts at a cool $500,000.

Worth millions of times its face value, the very first penny struck by the US mint is the holy grail cent coin for collectors. This particular example is likely to have been handled by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, adding to its prestige. The coin was snapped up in 2015 for $2.6 million by Beverly Hills dealer Kevin Lipton.

The world-famous 1890 Grand Watermelon $1,000 treasury note exceeded all expectations when it fetched a staggering $3.3 million at auction in 2014, making it the world's most valuable banknote. The bill is so-named on account of the zeros, which have been likened to watermelons.

Only 15 examples of the 1804 Bust dollar, AKA the Bowed Liberty dollar coin, are known to exist with the finest Class I pieces commanding sky-high prices. While they are dated 1804, the coins were actually struck during the 1830s or later. This specimen sold for $4.1 million in 1999, while another fetched $3.9 million at auction in 2013.

https://i.postimg.cc/JzfvFRrW/0.jpg

This exquisite $10 gold coin dated 1804 was actually minted in 1834 for President Andrew Jackson to offer as a diplomatic gift to officials in Asia. Today, only four examples exist, and this particular specimen sold for $5 million at auction in 2007.

https://i.postimg.cc/VNXpQ2v0/0.jpg

The finest example out of seven known 1787 New York-Style Brasher Doubloons, this gold coin hit the headlines in January this year when it sold for a huge $9.36 million at Heritage Auctions in Texas. Discovered in 1848, this particular coin caused a storm as it has only been publicly sold twice since its first discovery, and both times reached record prices. The most recent of these record-breaking sales was in 1979 when it went for $725,000, holding the record of the world's most valuable coin for a decade. While its 2021 sale breaks its streak of records, it certainly comes close to the top spot.

The world's most valuable coin and then some, this 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar is the finest known example and was among the first dollar coins minted. Described as a "national treasure" by numismatic expert Steven Contursi, the historically important coin sold for an almost unbelievable $10 million at auction in 2013.

An extremely rare 'Double Eagle' coin sold for a record price of $18.9 million at a Sotheby's auction in June. The coin now holds the title for the most expensive ever sold, more than doubling the previous record. Remarkably, the coin's face value is just $20. The coin is so rare because the 1933 edition never actually entered circulation, and most were returned and melted down by the US government. However, around 13 coins did make it into circulation, and in 1944 the Secret Service declared that if any collectors possessed any of the coins they would be considered stolen. This coin was only able to be sold by a private collector after a legal battle between the United States Treasury and a former owner of the coin granted possession. The coin was then sold in 2002 for $7.6 million, setting a record at the time, before this sale by shoe designer Stuart Weitzman.

Steven Spielberg’s Superyacht Sold After $158 Million Listing

I had a chance to see this super yacht when it was docked in Fort Lauderdale. As you might imagine, it is huge and impressive. My understanding is that was built with some type of “stabilizer that runs the length of the ship to help maintain a “waveless”ride. Apparently Spielberg gets seasick easily!

You sure it isn't the oval that the "1000" is printed in that looks like the watermelon?

Nice car! Hate the look of the Radials.

Thank you Dan, Mark has spoken very highly of several guys on here.
Another friend of mine and Mark down here bought that yellow '69 Chevelle that you marketed on here.

Cheers,
John

I get it. The back side. Man, you could almost play a "where's Waldo" type game on where one sees watermelons on that thing front and back.
