There's no specific answer. A coin can be valuable because it's scarce or made of precious metals. Some old coins were minted in such large quantities that they're still common among collectors while other more modern coins were only made in small numbers and are worth a lot more.
Even within the same date and denomination, values can differ radically. Among US Coins, for example, a 1909 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia that doesn't have the designer's initials VDB can be bought for a few dollars because millions were struck. However only about 484,000 such coins that did have the designer's initials were made at San Francisco; these can be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.

When do coins become valuable?
Coins become valuable when they are minted with errors. This is also based on the quantity of coins with errors, as well. Another way that coins may become valuable is when they are very old. And yet another way is if they are made from a precious metal. Coins that are minted from a high percentage of either silver or gold. This is due to the intrinsic value of the metal. A $20 gold piece can be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. Theoretically, if a one ounce gold coin, originally minted as worth one dollar, may be worth as much as $1300 if it was 100% gold. This is only theoretical, because coins are never minted using 100% of the metal, because they would be too soft.
