Rare 10-Cent Coin Set to Skyrocket in Value by 2025—Check Your Wallet!

People in Australia who collect coins have been told to keep an eye out for a 10-cent coin that is worth a lot more than its face value. Rare coins and coins with flaws from the minting process can earn good prices on the seller’s market. Michael McCauley brought attention to a 10-cent coin from 1991 that is worth 75 times what it would be used for. He made it clear that the high prices were due to what the Royal Australian Mint did that year. He said that those coins have recently been selling for between $1 and $7.50, but it’s just a normal issue design.

In 2025, this 10 cent coin will be worth a hundred times more. People in the US should check their pockets

Since only 4.8 million of those 10 cent coins were made, collectors think it’s rare for moving coins to have less than five million made, so keep an eye out for it. Downie Collectibles says you could get up to $10 for the coin if it had never been used. This seems like a very low estimate of how much it’s worth on the market. Since 1966, the lyrebird on the 10-cent coin has been created by Stuart Devlin and has been there almost every year. Almost five million coins may seem like a lot, but they are small compared to other coins that have been made.

In 2025, this 10-cent coin will be worth 100 times what it is now

Even though five million coins might seem like a lot, they are quite small compared to other mint runs. In 1988, 48.1 million 10 cent coins were made. In 1992, 46.7 million were made, and in 1994, 43.7 million were made. In 2011, only 1.7 million of these coins were made, which is the lowest number ever. On the coin market, it can fetch up to $45 if it has never been used. The US Mint told Yahoo Finance that the low production of 10-cent coins in 1991 was just because supply and demand were low that year. It may be a little less than in earlier years, but that just shows that the Mint makes circulation coins based on what banks want. The spokesperson said that changes are normal.

There is a “large head” mintage flaw on the front of one 10-cent coin from 1999 that can raise its value to $2.20. McCauley said that the specific 1999 10-cent coin has a space between the names and numbers, which is different from most other 100-cent coins from that year. Coins and Australia says that the most expensive coin in this form sold for $125, but it had an MS-66 grade, which is four grades below what is needed for a coin to look “perfect.”

Downies Collectibles says that you might want to look for collectible coins from 1976, 1987, 1995, 1996, and 2003. The Royal Mint did not make standard 10-cent coins during those years, so any coins you find with those dates are likely from mint sets. The 1997 10-cent coin was “very interesting” to fans because it was made in a strange year at the Mint. According to Downies Collectibles, the Royal Australian Mint stopped making the 1997 Mint Set all of a sudden.

Don’t forget that this was the smallest mintage Mint Set issue since 1979. As soon as it became hard to find, its value went through the roof. Due to the limited mintage of the 1997 mint set, it was hard to find a 1997 10c in mint condition, as shown by its current catalog value. Mint sets are a great way to find individual decimal dates in perfect shape.

Another very rare coin that could make a lot of people in the US very rich

An Australian coin collector warns of a gold $1 coin with a flaw that could be worth $350 for a number of reasons, such as errors in the way it was struck. This shows that coins can be worth more than their market value. Doug Mcrostie, the founder of Coinxchange, told Yahoo Finance The $1 Centenary of Federation coin was one of these coins that had problems with “rotation.” That’s when the pictures on the coin’s head and tail aren’t lined up right.
