Check Coin Value
To check a coin's value, identify its exact type, then match its condition to catalogue prices. The free checker below does both: type the coin's name and get price estimates for every grade — no app, no sign-up.

How to check your coin's value
- Name the coin. Denomination plus country works best — "morgan dollar", "kew gardens 50p", "5 cents canada". Can't read it? Identify it by photo instead.
- Pick your exact type. Series changed over the years — compare the photos and year ranges to match the coin in your hand.
- Read the price for your grade. Values run from Good to Uncirculated. Unsure where your coin sits? The coin value guide explains grading in plain terms.

What everyday coins are worth
Before you check, calibrate expectations: most modern coins are worth face value, silver-era coins carry a metal floor, and the premiums start where rarity and condition meet. Typical retail ranges for the coins people check most:
| Coin | Years | Circulated | Uncirculated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lincoln Wheat Penny (common dates) | 1909–1958 | $0.05–$0.10 | $2+ |
| Roosevelt Silver Dime | 1946–1964 | $1.50–$2.50 | $8+ |
| Washington Silver Quarter | 1932–1964 | $4–$6 | $15+ |
| Kennedy Half Dollar (40% silver) | 1965–1970 | $3–$4 | $10+ |
| Standing Liberty Quarter | 1917–1930 | $8–$15 | $150+ |
| Peace Silver Dollar | 1921–1935 | $25–$35 | $60+ |
| UK Pre-decimal Penny | 1900–1967 | £0.10–£1 | £5+ |
Reference ranges only — key dates and errors price far higher. Check your exact coin with the tool above.

What decides the value you see
Every estimate the checker shows is the product of five forces: rarity (mintage and surviving examples), condition (the grade scale from Good to Uncirculated), collector demand for the series, precious-metal content, and errors or varieties that turn an ordinary coin into a scarce one. Two of these — rarity and condition — do most of the work, which is why the same Morgan dollar can be a $30 coin or a $3,000 coin.
The coin value guide walks through each factor and the grading scale in plain terms; if you can't even name the coin yet, start with what is this coin.

Checking coin values FAQ
How do I check a coin's value online?
Identify the exact coin first — type its denomination and country into the checker above — then read the price estimates by grade. The value of the same coin can differ 10× or more between a worn and an uncirculated example, so condition is half the answer.
Can I check coin value for free, without installing anything?
Yes. The checker on this page is free and runs in your browser — it searches a worldwide catalogue of about 200,000 coin types and shows estimates for every grade. The free app adds photo identification for coins you can't name.
How do I check the value of old or foreign coins?
Start with whatever you can read: denomination, country name or ruler. If the inscriptions are worn or in another script, photograph the coin in the app — image recognition identifies it from the design alone, then values it the same way.
Why is my coin's value shown as a range of prices?
Because coins are priced by grade. A price table runs from Good (heavily worn) to Uncirculated (mint state), and your coin sits somewhere on that scale. The coin value guide on this site explains how to place it in the right band.
