US Coin Values, Prices & Marketplace

A coin price guide and marketplace in one place

USA Coin Book is built for people who need a number first and a transaction second. Year-by-year U.S. coin value tables live on each series page in the Coin Menu — the same list in the left sidebar on desktop, or the menu button on a phone. Open a type such as Lincoln Wheat Cents or Morgan Dollars for photos, mintage figures, major varieties, and prices by grade. Those pages also list coins currently for sale or on auction, so a value lookup can turn into a purchase without leaving the type page. Mint histories, designers, grading, and chart help stay in the coin encyclopedia.

The marketplace is an alternative to general auction sites: no listing fees, no monthly membership charge, and a flat 2% final value fee that does not include shipping. List a raw or certified coin (PCGS, NGC, ANACS, CAC), bullion, paper money, errors, varieties, sets, or supplies. Members have completed 479,067 sales since the site launched in 2010.

How the coin value tables work

Each chart shows estimated retail values across circulated and mint-state grades. The collector premium is reviewed about twice a year. The melt component — the gold, silver, platinum, or copper in the coin — follows live spot prices, which matters for bullion and 90% silver. For a metal-only floor, use the U.S. coin melt value tables and calculators. Key dates and condition rarities are also collected on the most valuable coins page.

Selling, auctions, and wanted ads

Fixed-price listings stay up until they sell or you end them. Auctions can run from one day to 30 days, with an optional reserve. If you are hunting a specific date or variety, post a wanted ad on the wishlist and attach a bounty or leave it open to offers. That is often faster than waiting for the coin to appear in a sale list.

Track a collection without extra software

Every account includes a public Coin Book URL in the form usacoinbook.com/members/username/. Use it to catalog coins you own, keep a dealer inventory list, or send a short link from a show table. Collection entries are not listings; they do not go up for sale unless you convert them. See the collection guide to add the first coin.

Buying with more context

• Compare the asking price with the grade column on that coin’s value table.
• Check top sellers and completed recent sales before you bid.
• Read site notices on the scam alert and updates pages when they are posted.
