There are coins today that are very valuable, either because of their history or because they are very hard to find. Numismatic collectors mostly look at how well they are preserved in order to pay a very high price for them, but it also depends on how rare they are.
This is a 10 centavo coin that stands out because of how beautiful it is, which is shown by the fact that it is a blue penny.
It is important to remember that the coin’s value depends on how well it is kept. Before it gets a professional grade, it is carefully checked for any signs of wear that could make it worth a lot less.
What is the blue penny that may be worth a lot of money?
The 10-cent coin from 1968 is called the “Dime No. S” because it does not have the stamp that shows it was made at the San Francisco Mint. The unusual powder blue color makes it more valuable to collectors because it is hard to find.
There are other coins with the same value, like those made in 1970, 1975, 1983, and 1990, but the 1968 coin is the first 10-cent coin with this error and the third most important coin in the United States.
The color of this coin comes from the fact that it is 75% copper and 25% nickel. There are about 40 certified specimens that are in good condition right now. This item was sold at Heritage Auctions for U$D 18,000 in January 2024.
