The answer to this question is the same as that about any other generic question that doesn't refer to a specific date and condition - yes, no, and maybe.

New Orleans coins today have a certain "cachet" because that mint has been closed for a century and its products are now only seen in museums and collections. Also, along with Carson City it's probably the best or second-best known former branch mints. But during its years of operation (1838 to 1861 and 1879 to 1909) it produced nearly a half-BILLION coins ranging from dimes to double eagles, so they were not at all uncommon at the time.

In addition it was common practice before the early to mid-20th century for coin production to vary widely from one year to the next at each mint, depending on what facilities were available and what denominations were needed. Production at branch mints tended to be lower than at Philadelphia simply due to the facilities' relative sizes, but there were many exceptions to that and it's simply not the case that Philadelphia coins are always most numerous for a given year and denomination.

Bottom line - you have to pick a particular denomination and year, and then consult a price guide to know whether a New Orleans coin is more valuable than a similar one from any other branch mint or even from Philadelphia.

What is the value of an 1841 dime?

It depends on where it was minted. There are only two mints that the coin could have came out of in 1841: Philadelphia and New Orleans. This was also a Seated Liberty Dime. If it was minted in Philadelphia, it could be worth between $19 and $600 and if it was minted in New Orleans, it would be valued between $23 and $1646. If it came out of New Orleans, there would be a small "O" mintmark at the bottom of the reverse under the wreath. If it came out of Philadelphia, it would be blank. View the source links to see the values-per-condition for each mint.

How much more is a silver dollar minted in Denver or San Francisco than in Pennsylvania?

The value of a coin is determined by a number of factors. Among them are the year it was minted, its denomination, the condition of the coin and sometimes the mint at which the coin was struck. Other factors include how many were minted, how great the demand is for the coin by collectors and speculators and whether or not there are errors on the coin. No one mint produces coins that are worth more than those produced at other mints based only upon where they were minted.
