Discovering old coin values in the modern market place can be a tricky road to navigate. One must first determine if there is any precious metal content in the coin itself. After making this determination, it’s then up to the collector to discover the mintage, condition, collectible demand and market place viability of the old coin. Finding coins with precious metal content in circulation has become more and more difficult these days since, within the U.S. alone, there hasn’t been any silver or gold placed in circulated coins since 1970 and 1933 respectively for each. If there is precious metal in the coin then the old coin value could be much higher than the face value of the coin. Traditionally, in the United States, foreign old coin values will be less than U.S. old coin values simply because the demand of the collectors here is focused on coinage from America, much like the demand for foreign collectible coins is much greater in the countries they were made.
