The ICCA Heads to Cincinnati

The International Coin Collectors Association, an organization that identifies rare coins for avid collectors, is headed to Cincinnati. The ICCA is currently embarking on a world tour, and has already hit several major areas, including North Carolina and Georgia.

So far, the organization has helped attendees discover more than $2 million worth of rare coins. At one stop, an 1894-S Barber dime was sold for $1.9 million, and most recently, a $300 penny was auctioned off in Georgia.

“The ICCA is a place where anyone in your community can connect with collectors from around the globe,” an organization spokesperson wrote at Cincinnati.com. “Experts make offers based on what our collectors are willing to pay. Then when someone decides to sell, they get paid on the spot and our experts send the item to the collector at their expense.”

While many people may not think they have any rare coins, it’s not uncommon to be pleasantly surprised. For example, Sunday Mercury recently reported that a British mother had discovered a dateless 20 pence coin in her purse that was worth more than $11,000.
