Coin values are provided beginning with small cents through Double Eagle gold pieces and beyond, and many of the popular modern coins in between, all based on The Insider’s Guide to U.S. Coin Values, 21st Edition, by Scott A. Travers (www.usgoldexpert.com) and updated for accuracy.

The values are provided in several different grades, or levels of preservation: The better the condition of a coin, the higher its value will be. In some cases, you will find only two or three grades listed for certain coins. It may be that these coins are normally encountered only in those grades; other times, they may have no special value except in the very highest grades.
