HERE'S WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Many coins are priced in the hundreds and not thousands or millions.

Due to the financial crisis in 1893, the demand for new coins died, resulting in almost all the coins being melted down. Back then, the San Francisco mint made about 2.5 million.

CHECK THAT PIGGY BANK

There are less than 10 of these coins in existence today and 2 are in circulation. So you could be in possession of one of these dimes and not even know it.

If you happen to get your hands on one of these coins, you'll be happy to know that the worth is an astounding $1.9 million!

Dimes featured an impression emblematic of liberty, per the mint, before Roosevelt became the U.S. president.

So, how would you know if your coin is valuable enough?

Check to see if the emblem is on the coin. If it doesn't feature the emblem, then you may be in for a surprise and should go and have your coin evaluated.

You may be a millionaire.
