$1000 smalls is a first for me!!!

I was really hoping to see a couple rolls of Hubble Telescopes...but then again, I haven't flipped them over yet.
But I'm not greedy, a single mule would be just swell
...send me some good vibes and I will do the same for whatever you're about to search
Most expensive box I've ever bought! Ordered them this Monday from my Chase branch that's only about 6 miles from the Denver Mint!

Freshly brewed pot is almost ready... wish me luck!

Be sure to keep us updated @Kurisu; you'll probably find quite a few NIFC Presidential $1 coins. Regardless, though, you'll have to try the U.S. Mint for the Innovation $1 coins.

 

Nice. I occasionally like searching small dollars. I usually find a proof or two and a 79P Wide Rim. Quite a few NIFCs too.

 

Ooh la la!

 

You already scored a Millard Fillmore!
Everything else is gravy

 

Do you mind if I ask you something? I don't know if you remember when the new Washingtons came out, but there was this craze over the "no edge lettering" errors. The people who got them were flipping them for several hundreds of dollars, and there are threads on that here and on other forums. I'm wondering if that error is even on any serious collector's radar anymore.

 

Enjoy!

 

wow $1,000 box geez you are rich. Let us know what you find.

 

This year I've searched maybe 25 small dollar rolls and got really lucky with one roll that had 15 proofs in it, Sacagawea and Presidential. Then found a couple more, so I'm getting close to a whole roll of proofs! Some of them are really nice!!! No wide rims yet but plenty of SBAs in the previous rolls... I started working through these tonight...

 

I had a Washington missing partial edge lettering that I got from the Mint back in 2007. It was graded and attributed by NGC. I can't remember the grade....MS64 I think. I listed it on eBay about 2012 with a 99c start/no reserve/7-day list and it sold for $228.

 

I have and I hope to...I have found a few innovation dollars in my searches earlier this year but nothing in spectacular condition yet...I'll let you know!

 

Why thank you ma'am Maybe I should just start walking around with a box under my arm when I'm at the supermarket, or out and about the town lol!

 

Yeah, that's what I mean. And yours was just a partial. I'm wondering if any serious collectors are even looking for those still and if so how the market may be running on them. I'll guess it cooled down quite a lot since you sold yours.

 

Yes
Now there is more of a sense of what's truly rare now so they are likely to fetch more when graded.

On some of them the edges wear quickly and it can initially fool someone before going to the loupe.

I actually tend to take a quick look around the edge as a last step when searching them... checking for missing lettering on nice ones, and overlapping edge lettering, and there is also a known rare variety of proof...Instead of correctly reading: “2007 S – E PLURIBUS UNUM – IN GOD WE TRUST,” the edges on the error dollars read, “2007 S – IN GOD WE TRUST – E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

Yup, there is definitely still interest in these errors, but not nearly as popular as errors on the faces of U.S. coins though.
Some of the more valuable ones...
2010 Sacagawea (Haudenosaunee) missing edge lettering.

Any of the satin finish (SP) ones are quite valuable.

 

Well, not like drop $1000 on a whim rich...but working for decades helps
The best thing...It's technically free lol!!! No matter what rolls you get from a bank if you can turn in the ones you don't keep...you've only paid face value for the good ones. CRH rules!!!

 

Great summarization! Thank you!

 

I've worked with the same CRH funds form almost 10 years. Merely replacing the money pulled out with new money.....Not nearly the amount I've used to search.

 

I know the premiums have dropped significantly.

 

Alrighty all done! I would've been maybe a little disappointed if I had found nothing fun out of a 1000 small dollars... Only 10 images per post so this might take a couple in a row, no complaints there!

Sometimes I love fingerprints! Always hoping for similar toning on both sides but the obverse was totally normal, it's a 2000 P.


Genuinely surprised and delighted to find any American Innovation dollars!


A couple unfortunate dings, still lovely! This is my first one found in the wild!


Some of the nicer presidential dollars.


A burnished 2009 Native American dollar, total surprise since I found no listing on these being released in a burnished version!


I've found these in much nicer condition from mint rolls but I was surprised by how nice these were inside heavily circulated rolls.


Was hoping for at least one proof! Found...1 proof!


Gold plated.


Another gold plated.


Actually pretty unusual to find SBA minted from heavily worn dies. On the left a D from the worn dies, on the right an S from fresh dies.

 

A couple more goodies...

This is heavily worn but still mirror like, I'm guessing this was from the Millenium set originally!


Some of the Sacagawea varieties are quite tiny and hard to see...the double die varieties and the die gouge varieties...this is a new one for me, I spotted it without the loupe and used the microscope to verify that it's raised...so it is indeed an interesting little die gouge I've never seen listed!

That's all folks!
