What are the three most valuable coins struck in 1965 or later?

Any country.
Any denomination.
If grade is relevant, the grade must exist. (In other words, MS 70 1969 quarters at a theoretical 250K don't count.)
Regular issues, proofs and patterns are all eligible.


Edited to be clear that 1964 Peace dollars and Accented Hair halves NEED NOT APPLY!

    One that few people have seen is the 1985P rotated die quarter. An R7, less than 5 known. image

    The 1976 P proof presentation piece Ike Dollar.
    The Sacajawea and Wash. quarter mules.
    Hmmmm, and maybe PR70 DCAM Ikes or Silver American Eagles?

    If we limit this to "real" coins (those that the respective mint intended to make),
    I would suggest the 1972P MS66 Type 2 Ikes.

    Regular issues in MS66

    1972P Type 2 IKE
    1972P Type 1 IKE
    1972P Type 3 IKE

    If I can only have one type per date then delete the last two and add

    1976P Type 1 IKE
    1971P IKE

    On the list might be the '75 no-S dime, Certainly the 76 (P) proof dollar.

    There is a rapidly growing list of moderns worth more than $10,000 and
    they range from rarities to condition rarities, from errors to varieties. As
    collector demand increases some of the other tough coins will become
    more widely known and become the objects of widespread interest.

    I knew about the two 1966's that were supposedly given to Felix Schlag, but if the 65 exists, it's news to me.

    It has to be a Lincoln Cent.I believe a 1990 no s brought over $10,000 in the Heritage mid winter ANA auction at Charlotte last month.The most valuable has to be the 1969 DDO in Gem uncirculated full red.I would almost guarantee it would bring more than $150,000 today!!!!I agree with Spinynorman.

    The 1969-S doubled die cent is certainly a valuable "real" modern coin. I've handled a couple of them.

    "Real" means no one made it on purpose; it just happened, which is the best kind of rarity. There are not that many of them. Both the 1804 Dollar and the 1913 Liberty cent flunk that test.

    They're "left over" silver planchets struck with 1965 dies. !964 and 1965 coins
    were being minted at the same time from August'65 to Sept '66 which made this
    more likely. There are a few (5) of the dimes known. I had believed there was a
    single quarter but the one scanned for this thread looks a little different than I
    remember it. Have heard of the halfs but don't know anything about them.

    Good one, Schmitz7- you had me for a sec. image

    What's the legend I heard on that... something about a guard who was standing nearby when a congressman dropped some change, scooped it up to help out, and was told to keep it by the congressman? He found a '74 aluminum cent in there, and kept it. It resurfaced in his estate not too long ago(?) Not sure of the truth of the tale, or if I have the details right, but I thought it was interesting...
