Apparent worth (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
face value
'apparent worth' is the definition.
(worth something appears to have)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for face value that I've seen before include "Amount as printed or stamped on money or other object" , "Apparent worth" , "really not worth it?" , "not an excessive price" , "For Helen, a thousand ships" .)
