Coins are valuable as portable wealth for many different reasons. The first is age/rarity such as the one of a kind Pre-Civil War 1860 $3 Gold piece. The second reason for value is HIGH GRADE. For example, the $1860 $ Gold piece is the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD GRADED PROOF 65.
A third reason is rare ERROR. In 1943 due to World War II, pennies were cast in steel by the U.S. Mint---with a few exceptions--the oil painting of a COPPER PENNY in 1943 represents a VERY VALUABLE MISTAKE. It is shown below.
In 1944 the U.S. Mint went back to COPPER PENNIES--but a few STEEL PENNIES DID SNEAK THROUGH the system.These valuable rare pennies were painted in oil by artist Judith Lee whose creations are shown below.
