cbarnes1981 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/29/2013 1:55 pm Hi, I had someone give me $17 in Presidential Proofs for change. They have no wear and tear which leads me to believe that they raided their coin collection for pocket change. They have no value towards my collection and I was wondering what should I do with them? Do they have a value above $1? Report this Post to the Staff

(even ignoring the whole "cameo" thing, proofs have S mint marks; okay, might be harder to find these on Presidential dollars, but still) Report this Post to the Staff
cbarnes1981 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/29/2013 5:07 pm Well they look absolutely different from any other dollar coin. The edges are a little more ridged and it has a distinct finish(glossy for the background and 'etched' facial features. Plus a friend recognized them as proofs. Report this Post to the Staff
justin3651 Pillar of the Community United States 621 Posts	Posted 05/29/2013 5:26 pm Just asking. It's his first post and you never know, we've seen people who think they are real gold before. Nice score. I'd pay $2 a piece hypothetically. I'm a sucker for Presidential dollars. especially proofs. assuming they are not circulated, if the proofs were circulated id probably only do face for them. maybe 1.25 if I liked them a lot. this is all just my opinion and what i'd pay.
