If it is proof, it should be in a mint set that should say proof somewhere on the packaging and should have an "S" mintmark, I believe mintmarks for presidential dollars are on the edge lettering. As for uncirculated, it should show no wear whatsoever. So if you found it in change, it is circulated. But even genuine uncirculated presidential dollars are very common and have almost no collector demand.
If the coin has an "S" mintmark it's Proof, if not, it's the uncirculated version. Current average retail value for a Proof coin is $40.00 Uncirculated is about $29.00.
One dollar. In uncirculated condition it might be worth a bit more, but not MUCH more.
Well, an uncirculated one would sell for whatever 1 ounce of silver is selling for, today about $27. However you say with proof, I'm not sure what that means, if you mean it has some sort of certificate of authenticity or it is a proof coin. A proof coin will have mirror like fields (parts of the coin with no design) and an uncirculated coin will have shiny, but not mirror like fields. A proof coin is more expensive and would sell for around $70.
If the coin is a Proof coin it is worth about $20 USD. If it is not a proof coin and is uncirculated it is worth about $12 USD. (2/28/2010)
If it's not a uncirculated or proof collectors coin in the mint package spend it.
In coin collecting, it means Brilliant Uncirculated, a very nice coin, but not as good as a Proof coin.
These coins have only just been released into circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 50 cents. If you have a Proof coin or an Uncirculated mint condition coin, they are worth whatever you just paid for them.
Usually. A coin in Proof condition is almost always more valuable than the same coin in Uncirculated condition, but exceptions do exist.
Current retail values for this coin are $15.00 for the uncirculated coin and $20.00 for the proof coin
Face value unless it is uncirculated or a proof.
An "Uncirculated" coin is exactly that. It has never been in circulation and is in mint condition, and in the packaging it was sold in. A "Proof" coin is similar to an "Uncirculated" coin in that it has never been in circulation, but they are made on specially polished dies so that they have a very lustrous and shiny appearance. Proof coins might also be made from a metal other than what the normal coin might be made from, such as gold or silver. Proof coins usually cost a lot more to buy irrespective of what they are made from.
If the coin is Proof (P mintmark) $30.00-$40.00 retail, if it has no mint mark $18.00
