Collectibility and Rare Varieties
The condition of the coin significantly impacts its value, with uncirculated specimens commanding higher prices. While not particularly rare, these coins are less common in circulation due to limited use of dollar coins in everyday transactions. Errors such as off-center strikes or doubled die varieties, though uncommon, could greatly increase the coin's rarity and value.
