Have you ever been lucky enough to get hold of an old penny, nickel or dime that ended up valuable? A $2 bill or a coin almost 100 years old could actually fetch you quite a good amount of money and while it may not change your life, it will give you cash to buy something you’ve always wanted not forgetting that moment of excitement too.
Believe it or not but according to the website Coin Values, there are valuable dimes that could be worth a cool $1.9 million. That would be like hitting the jackpot in a lottery.
Some of these dimes are actually in circulation so it wouldn’t hurt to check your coin jar or your coin collection because who knows when you may get lucky? Coins of a low value could actually be worth a whole lot more like the 1894 –S Barber dime which is worth millions.

Just 24 barber dimes were created in 1894 by John Dagget, superintendent of the San Francisco Mint. He gave three coins to his young daughter and three each to seven friends. John instructed his daughter to save the coin but she went and purchased an ice cream with it instead.
There are only nine 1894-S Barber Dimes in existence today and two are even in circulation. One wonders who may be carrying that dime in his or her pocket right now.

There are other 1894 versions of Barber coins that are worth between $29 to $600. If you have any of these in your possession, you should take it to a local coin appraiser to know more about its historical and monetary value. In fact Barber dimes of 1914 can even fetch anything from $3 to $900
