These are the 1 euro coins that can be worth more than 300 euros

All of us use money every day to do the shopping, have a coffee… Therefore, the euro has been part of our life since January 1, 2002, when coins and banknotes came into circulation. But do you know that there are some 1 euro coins that you can sell to collectors for more than 300 euros ? This is how the portal «VortexMag» collects it

There are several factors that influence the value of the coin , and they are as follows:

• Rarity – First and foremost is rarity. That is, the number of equal coins that have been manufactured. There are celebrations and special occasions for which specific coins are minted, which are less common and therefore have more value.
• Printing error: the numismatic expert and CEO of Pulifil, Rubén Pulido, explains in “OK Diario” that errors in numismatics have always existed. The printing of banknotes and the minting of coins are one more manufacturing process, so there is a certain margin of error.
• State of conservation: even if a rare coin is worth more than 300 euros, a collector will only be willing to pay this price if it is well preserved.

The most valuable 1 euro coins

Based on the list prepared by «VortexMag» in 2019, the most valuable and rare 1 euro coins are those minted in the Vatican and Monaco. Although both states are not members of the European Union, they do use the euro:

1. Monaco (2007 – “Currency with error”): it is very attractive because it is missing the marks around 2007. It can be worth 363 euros.
2. Monaco (2009): It can be worth 129 euros.
3. Vatican (2002): It can be worth 125 euros.
4. Monaco (2011): It can be worth 112 euros.

Finally, we want to talk about how someone sold 0.06 cents for 6,000 euros . When euro coins began to circulate in 2002, many were minted with errors. Several 1 cent coins came out of the National Institute of the Mint of Italy with the size of the two centimes. In 2014, six of them went to a collector for 6,000 euros.
