Collecting coins is one of the most fun, interesting and rewarding hobbies there is. Aside from the thrill of searching for hard-to-find coins, another interesting and rewarding aspect of coin collecting is determining old coin value.
For example, you have just stumbled upon an old coin dating back to the 1920s at your neighbor's garage sale. It looks valuable and you decide to buy it and resell to coin collectors. The thing is, you have no idea as to what it is worth.
The easiest way would have to be checking it online. Currently, there are many sites online that provide helpful information on determining the real value of old coins. For beginners, some sites categorize values by the coin type, date of issuance and the estimated value. Most even have pictures, which make for easier referencing. Half-cents dating back to 1793 can fetch anywhere from US$500-5000 while silver commemorative coins are valued at anywhere between US$5 and US200.
The basic idea is that there are a number of factors that determine old coin value. For one, the more scarce or rare the coin, the higher the value. So it does not follow that the older coins are much more expensive than newer ones. The 1933 US$20 double eagle gold coin is the most expensive there is because there is only one of its kind, as compared to the thousands of Chinese coins dating back to the early centuries.
Another factor is what they call the bullion value, which is determined by the amount, or value of the precious metals it contains. Coins are categorized as either gold coin values or silver coin values.
Coins with higher grades fetch higher prices. Coin grade is determined by the condition of the coin. Note that coins are circulated in countries for commerce. However, aside from coins for circulation called "business strikes", some governments produce special pieces for collectors and official presentations. These uncirculated coins are referred to more popularly as "proofs", "proof-likes" and "specimens". They retain their flawless condition due to careful handling and packaging.
Another factor is the demand of such coin from collectors. This means that some coins, albeit more in number, might have higher values compared to scarcer coins, largely due to the fact that the former are more popular among coin collectors.
Last but not the least, a coin's quality is significant in determining its value. Quality refers to a coin's characteristics such as survival condition, execution, minting and overall aesthetic effect. Coins of poor quality lack luster, are discolored and uneven.
The above mentioned tips are just general guides. In the end, especially if you have potentially valuable coins, it is best to consult an expert's opinion to avoid being shortchanged should you consider to sell them personally. If you happen to opt to go to a coin dealer to sell your collection, ask for an expert (which is part of their service package) to truly determine the real old coin value.

Dime (United States Coin) $63.73 The dime is a coin worth ten cents or one tenth of a United States dollar. The dime is the smallest in diameter and the thinnest of all U.S. coins currently minted for circulation. The 32nd President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, is featured on the obverse of the current design, while a torch, oak branch, and olive branch covering the motto E pluribus unum are featured on the reverse. The dimes value is labeled as one dime, since the term dime also applies to a unit of currency worth 10 cents or 1/10 of a dollar. The dime was commissioned by the Coinage Act of 1792, and production began in 1796. A feminine head representing Liberty was used on the front of the coin, and an eagle was used on the back. The front and back of the dime used these motifs for three different designs through 1837. The composition and diameter of the dime have changed throughout its mintage. Initially the dime was 0.75 inch (19 millimeters) wide, but it was changed to its present size of 0.705 inch (17.91 millimeters) in 1828. The composition (initially 89.24 percent silver and 10.76 percent copper) remained constant until 1837, when it was altered to 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper.
