    Last week while at the bank a teller asked if I wanted these coins and I said yes and bought them at face. I know a couple of them have finger prints and I'm not sure what the value of these coins are. Any help is appreciated.

    You have impaired proof coins that only came in proof sets directly from the U.S. Mint. Probably someone got into someone else's collection and dumped them. Still keepers but have lost value as Proofs due to circulation. Hard to place any value on them due to this.

    Should of asked them if they had any shiny dimes and quarters. You might have got lucky and stumbled on some cheap silver. Your coins are worth a dollar.

    I think you did well at face value and they are worth more than $1 apiece to collectors of that series.
    Hard to put a value on them as they are impaired proofs, but I would guess they are worth $3 each.

    I agree with this statement however I think I could probably squeeze an extra dollar for the first three coins I have shown. It definitely beats having to buy them brand new for 15 or 10 dollars a piece.
    I know the teller who sold me the coins. He would have kept any silver, but that's good thinking gronnh20.

    GaryLomax I collect, therefore I am

    And not to nitpick, but they are Golden dollars, not Gold dollars.
    Big difference.
    Sorry.

    Since condition is EVERYTHING!! and those are so common, even though proof
    the condition looks circulated which hurts the over all value, maybe enough to
    buy a value meal at Mickey "D,S"

    HUGE difference!

    "Golden" dollars refer to the color of the modern dollar coins, not the content.

    The real gold dollars (the ones actually made of gold) were only struck until 1889.

    But we have the Mint to thank for that confusing terminology.

    Slightly impaired or not, and despite being only gold-colored, those proofs are a really nice find for face value! Maybe not worth too much over face, but a little bit, I'd say. (I'd agree they should be worth 2-3x face.)

    They're pretty attractive, considering they got lightly circulated. Cool find!

    I'd say they are worth what you got them for face value. They are a neat curiosity but impaired proofs with high mintage's don't really have much value beyond face.
