Coin collecting is a market that has always worked perfectly throughout the history of the United States. And not only that, but any other type of collecting is something that works very well for the human being in general, since it is the curiosity of what is different that makes us want to have in our pocket this type of objects.
While it is true that having a coin is not something extraordinary or special, having a different coin with an error in its manufacture does make us have something remarkable in our possession. And that is the reason why this Half Cent coin has so much value. If you have one of these coins at home you could have $13,000, so you should take a good look through your drawers.
What does the $13,000 Half Cent coin look like?
Manufacturing errors can at first be somewhat annoying for the mint as such, but in the case of coins it can become highly sought after. In this case, we’re talking about a Half Cent that ended up selling for $13,000.
This 1840 coin, minted in copper and weighing 5.44 grams, has an error in the word cent on the reverse of the coin. This error is none other than that of the double T. Therefore, an extra T in the cent word of this half dollar has made it a very high price for collectors.
And it is not only the error that gives it value, but also how scarce it is. There are only five units of this coin, so we are in front of something extremely limited that if we have at home we could have a great amount of money without knowing it.
The administration of Tododisca reminds that it does not buy or sell coins. These transactions are available on auction websites.
