There are tons of collectors around who have an
interest in United States coins. They’re everywhere. This website, US
Coin Values Advisor, plays host to thousands of them every day.
Even in the earliest days after this site went online in 2003, we
consistently received many requests for help in estimating numismatic
coin values. “What’s my coin worth?” was the most common subject line
header in our mailbox.
For a while, we were able to provide help individually to readers in
assessing the value of US coins in their collection. It wasn’t long
until the volume of emails became too much to handle.
This photo represents a swath of US numismatics and is
suggestive of
the many “What’s my coin worth?” questions we receive. Look closely,
and you’ll see a 1906 Indian Head Cent, a Lincoln wheat cent, a
battered Shield Nickel, an 1801 Large Cent (don’t get many questions
about early US coinage), a Peace Dollar, a 1943 Mercury Dime, and a
Buffalo Nickel. People also write about seldom seen moderns, thinking
they might be valuable, as typified by a 1979 Anthony Dollar, a 1972
Ike Dollar, and a 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar. Can anyone identify the
non-regular US issue in the upper right hand corner?
At that point, we started sending readers
directly to our free Coin Value Tables
to look up information
themselves. The tables depict long term historic pricing trends for
many specific collectible coins, but also includes current day retail
prices.
We responded to requests for price estimates on coin types for which we
had not yet prepared tables by referring readers to the coin price
guide of other online companies. No one likes sending traffic away
voluntarily, but our philosophy has always been that if we can’t answer
certain needs of coin collectors completely, we’ll at least steer them
in the direction of someone who can.
Now we get to keep you here! US Coin
Values Advisor is proud to announce that we’ve teamed up with Numismaster
to bring you current numismatic coin values for ALL regular
issue United States coins, from half cents to double eagles (give us a
little time to get everything loaded, though!). Now, in addition to
being able to study long term pricing trend tables for many popular
coins, you can “look it up” to verify approximate selling prices for
just about any
collectible US coin in today’s marketplace.
We recommend using the Coin Value Tables (when
available) in
conjunction with the Numismaster current coin price guide to (A)
develop a budget in line with your coin collecting goals, and (B) set
reasonable expectations of future price increases for the coins you
purchase, based on demonstrated performances from the past.

is accessible through the menu below or by selecting the “Current U.S.
Coin Values” link at the upper right hand side of this page.
