Depreciated value is usually called actual cash value on an insurance policy. This takes a formula based on the type of item that you are claiming and devalues it by a certain percentage every year. If an item is older then it will not have very much value. I would always want replacement cost coverage, this would pay to replace your property at today's prices.
