Question
I found a 1789 coin ,with the denver mint and key,and 13 stars. my question is this coin worth money?
Hi Regina, this is a mint identification token from a Denver mint produced collector set. It may be worth a dollar IF anyone wants it. Since its not actually a coin collector demand is very small.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
