It depends of the coin and its condition (grade) as for 1955 double struck cents, that person need to get his facts straight. They were not drouble struck, but the die when hubbed the second time, was off a little off, making the 1955 on the coin twice. So all coins struck with that die would have the same features. The correct term is doubled die. Most sell for less than a $1,000 in lower grades up to $4,000 in mint state 63.

depends upon the coin. I have an 1879 Carson City Silver dollar which is in mint condition and it's worth about $250. I just recently discovered that there are thousands of 1955 pennies which were double struck at the mint, meaning Abe Lincoln's profile is double exposed. That penny is worth about $10,000. It's been told to me that the chances of you having one of these coins in your pocket at any given time in your life and not knowing it, are pretty good. Coin collecting is an excellent investment if you learn how to do it right. Oh yeah, before I forget...DON'T CLEAN YOUR COINS! IT CHANGES THE PATINA WHICH ULTIMATELY DECREASES THE VALUE OF THE COIN. SO DON'T POLISH YOUR COINS. LEAVE THEM THE WAY THEY ARE.

Like $50, It matters how sharp the image is. If the image is easy to read, the more it would be worth. If a coin is from 1860, and it's in perfect condition, you'd make about 200 dollars. Put it on E-Bay, and you start the bidding at $200.

It depends on the denomination, quality and rarity. You can try ebay to see if somebody is selling something similar or www.coinland.com. Probably the best thing would be to take it to a coin dealer, they are better at grading them and they can appraise the coin there.
