Coins have always been a collectible item that made it rather special to own. When the production of a specific coin has ceased, the particular coin that is still in the market after presumably ten to fifteen years would increase its value. But this does not hold true for all coins because only those limited issued coins that makes it hard to find would be truly considered collector’s item and worth of collecting. Few of the rarest coins are also some of the most beautiful coins in the world that have mesmerised those who collect them with the intricate and history behind the specific coin.
To start the list of the most beautiful and rare coins, prominent coins that would top the list would be the 1804 Silver Dollar or also known as Bowed Liberty Dollar a U.S.A coin which was a creation that had a history of division into Class I that were minted in the year 1834, Class II that was minted 1858 and Class III that was minted in 1860. The coin is decorated with the American eagle on the back and hosts the Liberty on the front. Known as the King of Coins, less than 15 samples currently exist all over the world making it a rare collectible indeed for true coins fans.
Second place would have to be awarded to the 1907 ultra-high relief $20 gold piece that could be argued to be one of the most beautiful coins created. Designed by Augustus St. Gaudens, the coins were minted in 1907 was extremely limited making it scarce however, the great value of the coin is not only due to the aesthetic design but also for its historical reasons for creations that are covered with scandals of the past. In the year 2009, the coin was given a fresh breathe and reproduced as a special edition for collectors. The coin was made in gold and carried an eagle emblem as well as the Liberty with her torch.
1917 Type One Standing Liberty Quarter is one of America’s most beautiful and yet controversial coin ever to be minted. The production was only carried for two years till the year 1919 but its unique design makes it a desirable item for those interested. The design of the bare breasted Liberty in on the face of the coin caused a radical tumult which stopped its creation and added it into the top list of beautiful and popular coins to be collected.
