Thanks all. Quote: What are some of the other dollar coins you're are searching for? I'm not really searching for anything specific. I just enjoy the hunt. Major errors would be fun, but none so far. In one of the first boxes I searched I found a 170 degree rotated reverse Sacagawea. I didn't even know that was a recognized variety. I started searching dollars sort of by accident. I asked my credit union to order me a couple of boxes of half dollars. They don't order coins often. When they finally got around to it, the manager couldn't remember if I wanted dollars or half dollars so she ordered both. She offered to send them back, but I took them just for grins. When I started finding proof coins and lots of NIFCs I was hooked. I put together sets for my great niece and my wife's great nephews, now it's just for fun. It's 100+ F outside so it's a fun diversion in the AC.

Keep an eye out for the 2000-P Cheerios dollar, the 2000-P Sacagawea speared eagle and the 2007-P Washington dollar elongated ray. You could make some real money with those!

Finished my bonus box tonight and came up with a bunch of fun finds. Lots of Presidential NIFCs including multiples of Teddy Roosevelt and George Bush.  Also, about half a roll of Indian Citizenship dollars, a couple of Innovation dollars, and an impaired 2005-S Sac proof.  I hope I get my second bonus box next week!

My second bonus box took awhile since we went on vacation, but it was worth the wait. I pulled out a nice stack of NIFCs including a dozen George Bush and 50 BU 2024 Indian Citizenship dollars. Also, a couple of Innovation dollars, which I like because their mintage is less than the 1909 S VDB cent. Small dollar boxes continue to be the most productive boxes for me. I'm glad the guy who originally ordered these never picked them up.

First time doing a box of dollar coins! Wound up with 7 Innovation dollars, 16 NIFC Sacagawea dollars: 8 pre-2009 and 8 post-2011, 3 impaired proofs (definitely excited for the two 2013-S Native American proofs - that's gotta be my favorite design), and the remainder in NIFC Presidential dollars - I feel like I got just about one of every NIFC president! Definitely making me itch to hunt through more. Edit: Oh and one 500-yen coin from Japan! Made $2 there

Another hunt complete! 28 CWR this time, not nearly as fruitful as my last hunt. 4 pre-2009 Sacagawea NIFCs, 1 impaired proof, and 10 Presidential dollar NIFCs. The toning on Grover Cleveland is actually pretty nice underneath all that gunk.   Also, finally got a confirmed 1979-P SBA wide rim variety! The 4 below were all what I thought might be a wide rim since the rims appeared much wider than normal, but the nearness of the date to the rim of the one in the upper left strongly contrasts with the others. Any reason why the rims appear wide on the other 4? I also found what I think is a struck-through-grease error (upper right)? I'd blame it on wear if the coin didn't have any luster.
