This is by far the most frequently asked question and the hardest one to answer, the short answer is what ever someone is willing to give you.

To get an idea of what you could expect to get for your coins you need to know How a coins value is determined , then you need to know How to identify your coin , you need to know about Mint Marks on U.S. Coins and you need to know about The A.N.A. coin grading system.

After you know how and what to look for you can get an idea what your coin is worth with a price guide book, I use both the Blue Book and the Red book for ease of use, look ups.

Both books provide general reference information on dates, mint marks, major varieties, grading guidelines, prices and mintage figures, so at the very least you will know if you have a rare coin.

But as always if you don't like the price, don't sell / buy.
