How much is a 1862 5 cent piece worth?

Answer 1

Technically it's a Half Dime, although it is 5 cents. The first US 5 cent coin was made in 1866. Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1862 Liberty Seated Half Dime is a common date of the series. Because most coins show heavy wear, for an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins are $13.00-$22.00, better grade are $29.00-$41.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $80.00-$125.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
