wquinn Pillar Of The Community United States 2268 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 09:05 am Great find! A photo of both sides would help too to grade it, if you want to determine approximate grade and value. Depending upon the condition and if it is a type 1 or type 2 coin, will determine if it is worth more than a $1 or not. A proof is a manufacturing process. More info here: http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_min...tion=grading Info on type 1 and 2 coins: http://www.bakercoins.net/learn/art...sba/sba.html Edited by wquinn 02/09/2012 09:06 am Send note to staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 6:25 pm , Jamespfluger! Use macro, no flash, keep the camera rock steady. Even with these pix, I'd say not a proof, no mirror surfaces. Send note to staff
Conder101 Pillar Of The Community United States 7141 Posts	Posted 02/10/2012 12:59 pm It is a business strike, but the 1981 SBA's were not issued for circulation. Your coin has been pulled out of a mint set or a souvenir dollar set and spent. Send note to staff
wquinn Pillar Of The Community United States 2268 Posts	Posted 02/10/2012 1:08 pm If you don't have a tripod, keep your elbows steady on the table. Even if the coin was BU, it is only worth about $3-$5 at the very most. The clear mintmark is only for the San Francisco proofs and yours isn't a proof. On the obverse, just above the date to the right, is the mintmark. Send note to staff
