Many years ago the planters came in two styles- a 'shoe' opener, like it sounds that you have, and a 'disc' opener. Shoe openers were common on horse-drawn planters, and easily plugged with cornstalks or sod. Disc openers eliminated those plug ups, and allowed for faster planter speeds. Also more even seed depth because the shoe opener bulldozed valleys in the field when plugging.

I think most people prefer disk openers, so 'not much' would be the answer.

Of course, you didn't provide any info, so I have to assume you are talking about seed trench openers, not high-residue managers or a 'trash whip' thing in front of the regular seed disks, and we have no idea what planter you have so can't really say what it is worth without that info.

But, scrap iron is pretty low value these days.

Never heard of a difference for sweet corn, just some older planters had a shoe, most now much prefer disk openers for both field & sweet corn.
