What decides the value
- Condition / grade — an uncirculated piece can be worth many times a folded, circulated one.
- Serial number — 786, solid numbers, low numbers, radars and birthday dates carry a large premium.
- Signature & series — some governor signatures and series are far scarcer than others.
- Year & mint mark — for coins, a single year or mint can change the price completely.
- Errors — genuine minting or printing errors are rare and sought after.
