Sure. Any coin that is not a cent or nickel daated prior to 1965 is definitely worth more than the issue price, just due to their silver content. Nickels prior to the Jefferson all are worth a premium over five cents,even those dateless Indian/Buffalo ones. Cents prior to 1950 also. Later ones in higher grades command premiums. There are even some modern dates that are condition rarities, like Jefferson nickels with fully defined steps on Monticello. Find them for 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s dates and you indeed have rare coins that some collectors will beat each other silly to get at.

Not sure what you are getting at here. If you mean are some coins from certain years worth more than face value the answer is yes. It depends on the amount minted that year as well as how many were saved. Collector today are finding out that a lot of the modern clad coin in the U.S. was not saved and some years are hard to find and in mint state have really gone up in value. Another factor is just how many people collect that series of coins. For example and going by the 2007 Red Book a Guide to U.S, coins a 1879 Seated Liberty Dime has a mintage of 14,000 and books for $200 in grade good, on the other hand a 1916-D Mercury dime had a mintage of 264,000 and books for $850. Very few people collect the Seated Liberty dime series due to there are many expensive dimes, but a lot of people collect the Mercury dime series for the 1916-D is the only really key coin, the rest are not that expensive in low to medium grades. there is more to coin collecting than a lot of people think, but one can learn and it is a great hobby.

To truly understand the value of the coin you need to do a little research. Coin collecting is an old well established hobby with many books available. The value of a coin has many variables, for example if it is circulated or uncirculated. If it has any imperfections. There are quite a few pennies in circulation that are worth quite a bit due to flaws when minted. You need to do your research and then happy hunting.

A good way to find the going rate for your coins is to look them up on ebay as if you were going to purchase them. Usually, they are not worth that much. I have coins from the 16th and 17th century that are only worth $20-$30 dollars a piece.

Depends on the age, rarity and condition of the coin. Those coins that are worth big bucks are rare because not that many were produced and are in excellent condition and over 100 years old. But there are not that many worth big bucks.

It depends, sometimes on how many were actually put into circulation.
