The Big Three

Mega Chase is headlined by three massive coins, each of which has a 6-figure Instant Offer.

Hit #1

1879 $4 PCGS PR65

The exceedingly rare $4 Stella was only minted for two years, with an estimated total mintage of 490 across all issues. The Stella is a massively desirable coin and a crowning achievement of any collection, especially a specimen in Gem Proof.

Instant Offer: $225,000

Hit #2

1795 $5 PCGS MS62

The first gold coin of the United States. Few coins can be considered as important as the 1795 $5, and even fewer have survived today in Mint State condition.

Instant Offer: $150,000

Hit #3

1905 $20 PCGS PR64

Proof Gold Double Eagles continue to enjoy an elevated status within numismatics. It’s easy to understand why: low proof mintage and large denomination gold is a match made in heaven.

Instant Offer: $125,000

Every hit is gold

The hits continue after the Big Three. There are 300+ total hits in Mega Chase 2025 – and every single hit is gold.

How does Mega Chase work?

  1. Each bag will contain a PCGS-certified Jamaica 1/2 Penny recovered from the World Trade Center.
  2. Your 1/2 Penny will either be in a standard WTC label or in a Red Core VaultBox label. If you got a Red Core, continue on to step 3! (Reminder: VaultBox only provides Instant Offers on coins in a VaultBox label).
  3. Red Core Redemption. Hold on to your Red Core! On December 1st at 12pm PST, we will reveal the hit that corresponds to each Red Core Redemption 1/2 Penny.
  4. After the Answer Key is revealed, Redemption holders can follow the instructions here to receive their gold Red Core hit!

December 1 Update: The Red Core hits are now revealed! Click here to learn which hit your Red Core Redemption Half Penny unlocks.

A historic coin

The gravity of the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers cannot be understated. Americans across the country felt directly impacted by the event and scared, underscored by a sensation that they were now part of an unsure but massively important event.

During the recovery effort, the vault under the World Trade Center was unearthed. The vault contained a hoard of coins which had miraculously survived the attack. These coins were eventually taken to PCGS where they were authenticated.

Now, these coins stand the testament of time as artifacts of one of the most important events of all time.

GEM BU examples

A small portion of these Jamaica Half-Pennies were preserved extraordinarily well. PCGS holdered these coins and certified them as “GEM Brilliant Uncirculated” for their exquisite condition. Look for some of these examples in Mega Chase.

Answer Key

Certified by PCGS

Before Mega Chase launches, PCGS will independently certify the answer key that links each Redemption Half Penny to a Red Core hit. This provides an additional layer of security and helps maintain the integrity of the chase.

Two weeks after the launch of Mega Chase, Red Core Redemption holders will be able to see which Red Core hit their coin unlocks.
