I am in no way a jar expert, but generaly jars like the ones you have little or no value to collectors. The one with 1858 does not date to 1858, but later, I'd guess circa 1880-1910. They are usually common as well, but there are many rare variations so a picture would help. Usually they are worth about $5-$12, with rarer variations worth more, sometimes far more.
