It really all depends on the sword, even in rough condition authentic Katanas are pretty rare and are very expensive depending on the maker and the age of the sword. During 1939-1942 Japan issued military katanas and went into a frenzy and started mass producing them, these swords now are not all that impressive and are not very valuable at all though many higher ranking soldiers carried their family's swords into battle some of them ranging from 500 years old or more. It is relatively easy to figure out if it is an ancient Katana or a fairly recent one by looking on the Habaki (A Brass band that is wrapped around the blade just above the hand guard also known as a blade collar) there is stamped a serial number on recent ones and on ancient swords they would not have any numbers on them they would be clean, perhaps you could send a picture of your sword and I might be able to help give you a value.
