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.
