They mean, however it is being presented to you is probably not exactly true.
Example: A car dealer tells you the car is $15,000. The price tag says $15,000. But, when you go to buy it, it is $17,200. The price tag or dealer don't factor in destination charge, taxes, fees, etc... The face value is $15,000, but the real (with taxes, dealer fees, etc...) value is $17,200.
Example 2: Someone is clean cut, dresses well and very polite. The first thought you may have, by looking at this person, is they are a good person, have some money and do respectable work. But, you are only gathering your opinion by looking at what they are initially. They could be a mass-murderer who makes their money selling drugs to children.

On the surface something can look great, but beneath the surface it might not be as good. Don't take it at face value means that it might not be as true as you think initially.
