eBay is usually a pretty good way to gauge a coin's actual value, the link above shows other similar coins and what they're going for.  Of course, until the auction is over, there's no telling what price they'll end at.  The fixed price and store inventory items might be a more definite value gauge?

Good luck.

Answer 2

Type  coin values  in your search box and you will find many sites to get your info.

Answer 3

The coin is worth from $9,25 to around $12 in grades Very fine to Almost Uncirculated. Less if in a lower grade. In mint state $22 to $150 depending on what mint state grade it is. the values given are about what a dealer will pay.

Answer 4

The story of this US half dollar coin, which commemorated the Columbian Exposition:

These coins usually sell for around $6-$15 on eBay, depending on condition.  The 1893 coins are slightly more common than the 1892 coins, and sell for just slightly less than their scarcer counterparts, but there isn't a large difference between them.

This "AllExperts" article from back in May 2006 suggests they're worth around $8-$12 in lightly circulated condition:

Finally, as an absolute base value, even if they're well worn or lightly damaged, they have about $5-$6 in silver value alone when silver is within the $15-$20/Troy ounce range, as it has been for some months now.
