If you are a collector, you will know that the most valuable pieces would be rare coins in perfect condition and those with errors. Thanks to the flaws and anomalies on the “error” coins, they are considered rare commodities. These coins might have errors, but they usually make their way into the circulation. If an error coin stays in circulation for an extended period of time, its value goes up!
