How To Know The Value of Your Coins

Ever wonder if that 1897 silver dollar Uncle Joe gave you was worth anything? Who knows, maybe that trip to Hawaii you’ve been yearning for is simply sitting in an old box doing nothing (or perhaps it would pay off the debt you racked up this holiday.) How are you supposed to know if a coin has any worth above face value? Money blog Consumerism Commentary tells us that four simple factors determine the value of a coin including:

  • Condition
  • Rarity
  • Bullion value
  • Demand
  • He also points to a book and a website that can help determine the value of coins. So dig out those old coins as see if they have any significant value. Doing so could be an easy way to earn some extra cash. Aloha.
