What Makes a Coin Worth More Than Another?

Examples

1. A rare coin was found in a jar of old change and sold for $10,000 because only 100 were made.
2. An old coin from 1780 was worth more than a modern one because it was very old.
3. A clean coin looked brand new, while the worn-out version was barely recognizable.
