I'll have to pass on the Korean coins but as far as the others:

> Over a billion 1944 cents were churned out. Unless yours is in top-drawer condition it's only worth a nickel or so retail.

> Ditto for the 1955 unless it's the famous double-die error but that's so obvious (the coin has 2 images like "ghosting" on an old analog TV picture) that I'm sure you would have mentioned it.

> 1970 cents still turn up sorta regularly in change. The only ones that are worth anything are the 1970-S small date variety. They have an S mint mark under the date and the tail of the 7 is about the height of the 0 next to it. Anything else is worth a cent.

> 1990 cents? About 11 BILLION were made and they still show up in change all the time.

> My guess is that the "dateless" Sac has a Native American design on the back and not the soaring eagle that characterized the coins minted from 2000 to 2008. What you have is the new design first released in 2009. It's only worth $1 and it does have a date, but it's on the edge like the Presidential dollars. For some reason the Mint decided to move the date and mint mark but not adjust the rest of the design to keep it balanced. IMO that big blank space on the obverse looks like a mistake even though I know it isn't, so I understand why non-collectors can be surprised.

: 1944, 1955, 1970, 1990 pennies. Bank of Korea brilliant uncirculated 1991 coins and Sacagawea dollar w/out printed date. Want to know if coins are worth any value.
