But despite being normal coins, some of them are sold at such an expensive price.

[{"selector":"#anim-60e7b872-b13c-42e5-9796-41263381abb2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.29028308959516%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":20000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Firstly let's see features of this coin

[{"selector":"#anim-4d433838-6e1d-44c6-b985-81f29a8e942a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a573e0aa-eb60-4b12-a674-2c6876f88d44","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.6207%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

All such coins that will be made will have $1, the Statue of Liberty, and designer name printed on their obverse.

[{"selector":"#anim-e1ec7ec6-c5c0-43d3-bfd7-9921c4094fdb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-acc19627-d7e5-4db0-bfa8-dd069b058fce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-526d51e5-de57-442e-a5e4-5a04e5c64c4e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0.6566850538481689%, -6.6489359638195245%) scale(0.6802721088435374)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":30000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But each coin has different innovations printed on its reverse side.

[{"selector":"#anim-15d97fa4-440e-48f4-a454-55050d490b5c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a0a43549-b7fb-43f6-9bbe-d1e0133287cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ef48c40-bc89-49b2-8b05-7cdc5ac77e61 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 2.106930975366418e-7%) scale(0.6944444444444444)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":30000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Only one type of coin was created in 2018

[{"selector":"#anim-af9f76b8-a930-41b6-a108-09d98da3b0fd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.25859948112362713%, 1.7828951130682882%) scale(0.6944444444444444)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":20000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But after that, every year four coins of different types are made.

[{"selector":"#anim-e16db8a4-280e-4242-9579-7b70a15c29c7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f384e01d-fd60-44b6-90cc-ec60580026bd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100.74258%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a1cfbc4-7705-4b49-88bf-a5fcb1e61261","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5f7c4d87-8d5a-462c-8dcd-8255dcd6189a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100.9901%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

And let me tell you that this coin was sold for $1,170.

[{"selector":"#anim-cc515707-78ee-4396-807f-576b41c63cea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-243b1413-b2b6-4ccb-91d3-1571946b3a16","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b1c8b60c-02a1-4d96-8a66-6715891611f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-310572b4-8aeb-4182-bcfd-1e09c3431216","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -113.03468%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17c024e0-b01c-49c8-b84d-efd78b4773a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Credit: PCGS
