A Rare Wheat Penny with an error on E Pluribus Unum was recently sold for $2000 on Mercari. Another example is a 1776-1976 E Pluribus Unum Quarter with a rare mint error, which was sold on eBay for $1800.
- Market demand: Collector interest can influence prices.
- Morgan Silver Dollars: In average circulated condition, these coins can sell for $20 to $35, while uncirculated ones can fetch $30 to $50. Some rare versions, like the 1921 E Pluribus Unum Morgan Silver Dollar, have sold for much higher amounts.
- Peace Silver Dollars: The 2025 Peace Dollar Silver Coin with Box & CoA is offered at $89.99.

- American Eagle Silver Dollars: A 2025 American Silver Dollar, in uncirculated condition, is available for $50.
