Depending on grade they can run from $20-$100 or more. All error coins need to be seen for an accurate value.

"S over D" refers to the mintmark. During that period (and indeed, at most times prior to the last few decades), dies were centrally produced and marked with a mintmark ("S" for San Francisco", "D" for Denver) before being sent off to their respective mints. Ocassionally, a die destined for San Francisco would first be marked with a "D" in error, and then corrected by being overstruck with an "S". Unless the "S" completely obliterated all evidence of the "D" (and it often didn't), you'd end up with an "S over D" mintmark. As to the value of such a coin, I can't speak to a specific range other than to note that, as with any collectible coin, value generally moves up with condition.
