The 25 Most Valuable Coins Found In Change Making a list of the 25 most valuable coins found in change was no easy task. I had to factor in many variables: I could not include coins that are almost impossible to find - what's the point of listing them knowing you will never find one; I had to include coins that are found in change - half dollars, dollar coins and coins in special sets do not show up in change as a general rule, so they are not included; I had to include coins that have been found a number of times - not just once; and include popular coins that sell for a premium. It includes number of coins found for each of the 25, so you can focus on ones with higher numbers. This list has to show coins that you have a real chance of locating. Success is never guaranteed, but your chances are increased with this type of list. Book Highlights: Detailed pictures of all coins on the top 25 list Bonus chapter on finding silver coins Tools that enhance your efforts Free resources on coins - including free publications My email is included to provide help How to get the best price for your coins How to sell your coins so you do not get cheated How to get your hands on large amounts of change
