Copper-Nickel, worth $1, maybe $1.50 on ebay.

 

thanks zach!

 

It's unusal to get one in change, as dollar coins haven't been well received by the general public. Composition is 91.66% copper and 8.33% nickel. I pick these up at the bank, mixed in with presidential dollars, for face value. Then I sell them at my l local flea market, two for three dollars.

 

yeah, i know. this is the very first time i had ever gotten a dollar coin as change. at first i thought it was a quarter until i looked at it closer.

 

I got one of these once from a gas station in change it was suppost to be a quarter lol. In my opinion, this was probably one of the worste poorly designed dollar coins ever. It is so similar to the size of a quarter that so many people have been known to mistake it as one. I have plenty of these from all years of the '70s.

 

Don't feel bad... I always carry a few in my pocket to spend once in awhile, and yes, they do get mixed up with the quarters.

 

i didn't i was surprised at what it was because i had never seen one before! it made my day!

 

Certain coins will do that!

 

value?

98 cents

 

Plus 2 cents shipping and handling.

 

I have a few of these in a box and usually don't see them in change anymore...

 

Maybe it's this rare variety:

Less than it's $ value, which is $1.00
