YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 09/06/2019 6:17 pm Only got two rolls worth of dollars today, had to trade out the rest of my quarters for dimes, but of those rolls, I ended up with something I've only ever found once before, and never with a dollar coin. An impaired proof! A 2007-S John Adams Presidential dollar Last time this happened period was with a 1981-S penny, which was in way worse shape than this is. Maybe next time I'll find a dumped Innovation Dollar lol YGP Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8946 Posts	Posted 09/06/2019 7:54 pm I used to hunt small dollars with a fury. They seem to be pretty common actually. I'd get about 6-15 per box. Report this Post to the Staff

YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 09/09/2019 7:52 pm Thank you! That's the main appeal of small dollars to me, there's tons of varieties to look out for, common and rare, across several different series. YGP Report this Post to the Staff
becardw3 Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 09/12/2019 12:46 am small dollars are literally my go to for CRH because of this. Proofs are my absolute favorite to find. I would usually buy $500 at a time and find between 1-3 proofs. plus tons of NIFC and the occasional wide rim SBA Report this Post to the Staff
Marc Ingram Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 02/26/2026 5:28 pm @YourGeorgiaPeach - I search small dollar coins. Finding proofs are fairly common. People break open proof set and spend them. What else are you looking for when searching small dollar coins? Report this Post to the Staff

I guess they're not worth anything. People pay a premium for mint sets from the mint and then we find them in bank rolls for face value. Report this Post to the Staff

They are inherited or stolen by those who do no know they have a premium.
