What Makes Half Dimes Valuable?

Not all coins can be collected or be of great value. When it comes to collecting, make sure you know the factors that make a collection of Half Dimes valuable:

• Condition of the coin – This is the primary factor that decides the coin’s value. The better its condition, the higher its value is. Do some research on the coin to see if it is worth putting in the collection.
• Precious metal content – What is the coin made of? Coins that have a higher amount of precious metals such as silver, gold, or copper are worth much more than coins created today. Typically coins with high amounts of precious metals will be older coins.
• Scarcity – How rare is the coin? The value of the coin depends how many of the specific coin were made.  So if there were only 75 or few coins in circulation and you happen to own one of them, you have a gem in your hand.
