Coin values depend heavily on date, mint mark, condition (grade), and errors. A 1943 steel penny is common, but a 1943 copper penny is worth six figures. A clear photo of both sides, plus a note about anything unusual, gives you the most accurate range.

Get the Most Accurate Value

  • Photograph both the front (obverse) and back (reverse), start with the side showing the date.
  • Never clean an old coin. Cleaning can cut its value by half or more.
  • Mention the mint mark (small letter near the date) in the notes field.
  • For coins valued over $100, consider professional grading (PCGS or NGC) before selling.
