Collectors value Revolutionary War coins for their rarity and historical relevance. Many of these coins are precious, but none were produced during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783).
The Continental Congress authorised Fugio cents as paper currency during the Revolutionary War. They have a sundial, "Mind Your Business," and "1776." These early American pieces, which were not minted by the government, are highly collectable and can sell for a lot at auction.
