$1.00 Coin

Initially I thought I had an old $1.00 coin until I researched this Rutherford B. Hayes coin and found out it was minted in 2011. I had never heard of these coins or even seen them before. Oh well, still kinda cool even if it is a newer coin.

Yeah, those come from the bank with a gold color to them. The uh..."Tooth Fairy" leaves 'em for our kids. I got in trouble with the wife for telling my six year old to leave his tooth on the mousetrap to catch the tooth fairy.

Nice find. Thanks for the picture.

Yep those things are out there but on the rarer side. The first time i seen one was in a cashier's register, offered her a paper dollar for it. Little did i know it's only worth a dollar.

You know, that is one thing that this hobby has done for me for sure: taught me that there are a lot of new and old coins that I never knew about. I mean, I remember wheat pennies and buffalo nickels being plentiful in the early 90s when I was a teenager, and remember getting Kennedy half dollars from the recycler in town when I would take in aluminum cans. I've really become a coin hound in the last few months. I appreciate my friend everyday that I'm out. He's the reason I even got into this hobby, and I'm pretty sure it took him several months to convince me. Definitely one of those "what was I waiting for" type situations. Either way, that's an awesome find and I'd still be pumped. Finding a coin that I didn't even know of would be nearly as cool as a silver!
