PCGS Graded Top 20 Most Valuable U.S. Coins Sold in 2022

PCGS notched one of its most stellar years on the auction circuit, as all the top 20 most valuable U.S. coins sold in 2022, as of the time of this printing, were graded and encapsulated by PCGS. The coins, more than half of which sold for over $1 million, include some of the rarest coins to cross the auction block. “It’s a true testament to the industry-wide acceptance that the best coins end up in PCGS holders,” said PCGS President Stephanie Sabin. “We are proud to see all 20 of the most valuable coins to trade hands in public auctions were all in PCGS holders. Auction houses know, just like dealers and collectors around the world, that PCGS holders offer superior security and maximize the value of their coins,” added Sabin. “So, it makes sense that so many of the coins claiming headlining hammer prices are in our holders.”

The list of the top 20 coins sold in 2022 reads like a “Who’s Who” of rare coins and includes the following:
