U.S. Rare Coin Market Continued to Soar in 2022

The market for rare United States coins enjoyed a banner year in 2022 with many price records set for individual coins, according to an analysis by CDN Publishing, publishers of the Greysheet family of numismatic market price guides. “Continuing the momentum from 2021, we estimate the overall U.S. rare coin market exceeded a record $6 billion in total volume for the year in 2022,” said Patrick Ian Perez, CDN vice president.

“Using data available to us, more than $560 million worth of U.S. rare coins were sold via public auction, marking the third consecutive year this aggregate total has increased. For the first time, 16 individual U.S. coins sold for greater than $1 million, and an additional two numismatically related items sold for more than $1 million,” he explained.
