• 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar Value

  A 1964 Kennedy half dollar is 90% silver, so even a worn one is worth its silver, far more than face value. Coins in top condition sold for $244 to $1,200, and rare proofs and errors for much more.

• 1944 Wheat Penny Value

  Most 1944 wheat pennies are common, and even coins in top condition have sold for as little as $37.60. The rare one is the 1944 steel cent, struck on a leftover steel blank, which sold for $13,200 to $158,625.

• 1965 Quarter Value

  Most 1965 quarters are worth face value because they contain no silver. The rare one is a 1965 quarter struck by mistake on a silver blank, which has sold for $4,500 to $9,200.

• 1966 Quarter Value

  A 1966 quarter from your change is worth face value. The top prices went to a nearly flawless MS-68+ at $20,400 and to an error struck on a silver blank at $41,480 in 2026.

• 1967 Quarter Value

  1967 was the last year quarters were struck with no mint mark, and an ordinary one is worth face value. Special Mint Set coins sold for $95 to $822.50, and one struck on a silver blank brought $5,750.

• 1916-D Mercury Dime Value

  The 1916-D is the key date of the Mercury dime series, and even a worn one is worth far more than its silver. A nearly perfect one sold for $204,000 in 2020, but many coins sold as 1916-D are fakes, so a grading service has to confirm yours first.

• 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar Value

  A worn 1921 Morgan silver dollar is common and sells for a little more than the silver in it. One graded MS-67 sold for $5,246 in 2026, and a rare 1921 proof brought $100,625 in 2011.

• 1936 Buffalo Nickel Value

  A worn 1936 Buffalo nickel is common and worth a small amount over face value. Top-grade coins bring far more, and one graded MS-68 sold for $2,280 in 2025.
