Question
I have inherited a box of very old coins ... some going back to 1754. What would the value be of an 1856 half dime usa? Thank you
Hi Pat,
That is a hard question to answer since the value is based on the condition. I will try to give you an idea.
If the coin is in Mint Condition, it can range from $200 to $800
If it is not in Mint Condition, the range drops to $10 to $75
It's all about the detail visible on the coin. Do not clean any coins, that will ruin the value.
I hope this helped.
Regards
