In Brief:
by Sergei UpstateNY, last time modified:
In this section, you will find coin values for the US key-date coins in undug condition, and explanations for the US mint marks. Coin values are listed for any of the lower grades, AG-3 (About Good), G-4 (Good) or VG-8 (Very Good) - whichever is available, and EF-40 (Extremely Fine) grade of the key-date coins. Average coin values are listed for the common dates in the same manner.
If the EF-40 grade is not available, the value of the next highest grade of the American Numismatic Association grading system will be shown. Since the coin market is so active, the coin values of some categories of coins are constantly changing. The current coin values might be higher than the values shown here.
As a guide, this section is to help you quickly identify your coin find, and determine whether it bears high monetary value or not. Any coin's historical value is very subjective and obviously can not be covered here. One should keep in mind that damaged coins, such as those that have been unearthed and those that are bent, corroded, scratched, holed, nicked, stained, or mutilated, are worth much less moneywise than those without defects.
This section was created to provide an easily accessible, useful information to the hobby enthusiasts, beginner coin collectors and just those who happened to have an old coin in their hands.
