Proof coins, from the US Mint, are pressed from specially polished dyes. Everything the other two answerers have said is true, as well. They're handled with special care, sealed in plastic, and they cost more than face value of the coin.\n\nProof coins are deliberately made to get a profit for the Mint. The next grade would be mint condition, and these are released at face value.\n\nProof coins may or may not become more valuable over time. Like any collectible, there are many factors to this. Age, rarity, mis-strikes (highly unlikely in proof coins) and public demand can all affect the original price and any future gain in value.

A really badly beat up coin might be worth not much more than the price of the silver.\nAlthough a silver 1775 Carolus III 2 Reales coin will usually sell for $25 to $45, a coin of exceptional quality can go for as much as $250.  If you really want to know what it is worth, take it to a reliable dealer.

go to a book store and buy a copy of Official Guide to U S Paper Money. Or if you have just a few, don't even buy the book, just right down the pertinent information and go look it up in the book store. Condition is critial to the value. Generally, a note in good condition is worth about 10% of what a note in uncirulated condition is worth. I assume they are U S notes.

The origin seems to be unknown - and be aware of the fact, that in earlier days it was a 1 dollar coin.\n(see link)

It is still only worth $1.00 unless the price of silver is up or u find someone who is looking for that coin to finish or add to a collection.\n\nI save old coins 2 and have some dated before 1900 and took to a coin dealer/pawn shop to see what they were worth and they are pretty much worth the amount printed on the coin. That goes for rare paper dollars as well.

The 1990 $100 is only worth $100 but the penny should be worth a lot. Go to a coin dealer and have it appraised

Many things were changed on the 1950 $10 bill, so it is probably worth more than $10.  You need to check with a coin dealer as the condition of the bill is also very important.  Good luck!

It may not be worth much, if it's one of those coins sold by a novelty store or magic shop.  Look at it closely and make sure it's a real quarter...

Need to know what country it is from, and the condition.\nIn the United States, for example, there were 3 areas that made the 1913 penny.  In Canada, maybe 2 (not sure).  Also Great Britain.  \n\nIf it were a US coin, the BOOK Value would likely be anywhere between 65 cents and $33 (dollars)  depending upon \n1) where made in US  (Look for a small letter under date) \n2) condition\n\nBefore giving a value, MUST  know what country.\n\nIn Large libraries (Ususally MAIN  library)  they MAY  have a very thick directory, which has pictures of the common insignias on most major countries' coins, so  yuo could at least START  there.\n\nForeign coins are harder to sell, and ALL have a DEALER value of 1/3 to 1/10th (or less) the value stated in any coin directory.

It's all in your mind.  Some grades of paper are better than others (subjective measurement), and some metals used in coinage are more or less pure than others (also subjective, in terms of relative value, but objective in terms of purity).\n\nBut the 'value' assigned to currency is up to the marketplace to determine.

Most likely it is worth more than 5.00. It probably says "silver certificate" across the top as well? Take it to a local coin dealer, and ask them what it might be worth to them... Mind you though - they're in the business - so, they may give you a lowball offer if they're interested in purchasing it from you. Good luck!

Do some investigating before you go to a dealer so you know what the ballpark figure should be.  The best place to find the info is in the reference section of the library, or get the latest (for sure you need the latest info) from a book at Amazon.com or Barnes and Nobles.  I've seen these, know they do exist and are the same ones that coin dealers keep on their own shelves as reference guides.  Just remember that they will underestimate the value if they intend to resell for a profit.  Still, it would let you know the value, and I would absolutely let a coin dealer sell my coins for me before I attempted to sell them myself.

The "Mercury" dime is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful regular issue coins ever minted in the U.S. Mercury dimes were minted from 1916 till 1945 at the Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco Mints. Coins minted at the Philadelphia Mint do not bear a mint mark. Coins minted at the other two mints bear the "D" and "S" mint marks on the reverse of the coin near the bottom. \nSo, depending on what style you have it may be worth more or less. Despite the name given to this coin, the coin does not in fact depict Mercury, the legendary messenger of the gods in Roman mythology. The portrait on the face side of the coin is actually that of Liberty wearing a winged cap symbolizing freedom of thought. However, because of the resemblance of this portrait to Mercury, the coin has always been popularly referred to as a Mercury dime.\n·Weight: 2.50 grams \n·Composition: .900 silver, .100 copper \n·Edge: Reeded \nWeight: .07234 ounce pure silver\nThe reverse side of the coin depicts a fasces and an olive branch. A fasces is an axe surrounded by a bundle of rods representing the ancient Roman symbol of power. \nThere are two sizes of "S" mint marks on the 1945-S Mercury dimes. There is a normal size mint mark and a smaller size mint mark that collectors refer to as a "micro S". The smaller mint mark is less common and has a greater numismatic value than the normal size mint mark. \nProduction of Mercury dimes ceased in 1946 when, following the death of Franklin Roosevelt, a new dime design with a portrait of the former President was minted. \n1945 dimes are worth about five dollars according to this web site.\nhttp://coins.about.com/library/weekly/aa042901a.htm

I have them all and I've noticed on certain coin websites that the prices for them are going up.  Of course it wasn't my intention to sell them after I saved them but I guess a full collection, which they end in 2008, would be worth something.  I just never have collected anything before.

Looks like they're generally worth:\nDenomination/Type   Series   Circulated   Uncirculated\n$1 Silver Certificate  1935A-1935H, 1957-1957B  $1.25  $2.50-$6.00\n\nHowever:\nQ: What exceptions might make my note more valuable?\nA: Star notes, Error notes, and notes with interesting serial numbers are always highly collectable and may increase the value of the note.\n\nQ: What is a STAR Note?\nA: A STAR Note is a note with a STAR (*) in the prefix or suffix position of the serial number. These notes are typically used to replace a note damaged during the printing process to maintain the correct count of notes in a serial number run. Packs of STAR notes are sometimes released when the supply is greater than what's needed. Since STAR notes are much more uncommon, they are prized by collectors.\n\nQ: What is an ERROR note?\nA: From The US Error Note Encyclopedia: "A Currency Error is any note that does not meet the minimum quality standards of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing but still somehow manages to escape being pulled during the many human and mechanical inspections." These errors include; cutting errors, folds and tears, inking errors, missing prints, etc. Check your notes and look for anything that's different. For more information on errors, see: The US Error Note Encyclopedia\n\nQ: What is considered an Interesting Serial Number?\nA: Some examples of collectable serial numbers are; low numbers (A00000035A), radar notes which are the same forwards and backwards (A12344321A), 6-8 same digits (A33333333A, A16444444A), special numbers (A00001776A, A19970000A), etc. Basically, any strange or interesting serial number combination is probably collectable and worth more.

If this coin was not mounted and in good condition, its value would be in the range of $600 - $900 US Dollars. Being mounted in a necklace setting would reduce its value for most coin collectors though, so you can expect a bit less. \n\nThe condition of the coin is very important though, and the clarity of the coin is paramount. You can learn how to grade the coin using any coin collecting book (see your local library) as they usually have an introductory section explainnig the different grades.

Have an apraiser come out and take a look at it.  I know that is probably not the answer that you were looking for, but I wouldn't trust someone who has not seen it to know what it's worth.
