The value of an old coin depends on its condition, denomination and country of origin. One 1818 coin may be worth much more than another 1818 coin due to any combination of these factors. Two 1818 coins minted on the same day in the same denomination may be worth drastically different amounts depending on their condition. The best way to determine the value of your 1818 coin is to grade it, then look it up in a price guide.
