Use our Important Terminology page to convert these catalog values to actual buy and sell values. These values apply only to coins that are free of problems, such as scratches, scrapes, cleanings, stains, and gouges.
The second picture shows a coin that has been harshly cleaned and scratched. It is worth only the value of the silver in the coin. To find the silver value, use a site like kitco.com to find the current price of silver, then multiply by the amount of silver in the coin, as listed above.
