What Makes These Coins So Valuable
The Pawn Stars experts emphasize four major factors that determine any coin’s value 
Rarity (Mintage Numbers)
Fewer coins = higher demand = higher value.
Mint Errors
Double strikes, off-center designs, or wrong metal types create instant collectibles.
Condition (Grading)
Coins are graded on a 70-point scale — Mint State (MS 60–70) brings top prices.
Historical Significance
Coins linked to major events or figures (like the Great Depression or early U.S. history) carry powerful collector appeal.
