Did you know that there are rare coins scattered around the world that can be worth much more than they appear? Collectors and experts in the field – known as “numismatists” – pay very high prices for some of these items.
First of all, it is important to emphasize that there are several factors that help determine the price a coin is worth. Minting errors, a limited number of issues and state of conservation are some of the aspects taken into account when making this assessment.

Examples of rare coins
One example is a 25 cent coin from 1995, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). With only 1 million copies manufactured, its value can reach up to R$ 50.
5 cent coins from 1999 are also worth a bit of money. Due to their smaller circulation, they can be worth R$ 40. The 10 cent coins from the same year, in turn, can also be worth up to R$ 50.

Commemorative coins, which were produced in low volumes, are also on the list of rarities for which collectors pay more. One example is the special coins from the Rio Olympics.
Selling rare coins
First of all, it is worth noting that in addition to those mentioned above, there is a wide variety of coins considered rare. You can search online on websites in the segment to find other coins that you can put up for sale.
Although there is information online about rare coins and notes, the best way to know the precise value of one of these items is through a professional appraisal. Brasil Moedas Leilões is an example of website where you can find more information about it.
Another site is Brazilian Numismatic Society. The SNB has existed since 1924 and organizes various meetings and events related to numismatics.
You can also do as other internet users do and use online sales platforms, such as Mercado Livre and Ebay, for example, to advertise parts.
