Remember it's made of brass, not gold!

All proof-issue Presidential and Native American $1 coins are made at the San Francisco Mint, so they'll have an S mint mark next to the date on the coin's edge. They're also sold only to collectors and are in special packages identifying them as proofs.

$1 coins that you get from a bank or change machine will have a P or D mint mark and are just ordinary circulation issues worth exactly $1.

Every so often someone might accidentally spend a proof coin and these will show up in change with their S mint marks. However by that point the damage from circulation has been done and they have no added value except as conversation pieces.

When does the Martin van Buren dollar coin come out?

$1.00 is what the Martin van Buren coin is worth but may not be worth face value according to coin experts and god we trust located on the side of the coin (not the top or bottom) will be moved to the top of the coin in 2009More As of 01/2011 the coin is still only worth $1. Except among religious conservatives, the location of the motto (In God We Trust, not "And" God We Trust) was a non-issue and has no effect on its value.To correct terminology, the sides of a coin are technically the obverse and reverse, or more commonly simply front and back. "top" and "bottom" refer to orientations of the design on each side.And of course, the coin isn't really gold, just gold-colored brass. The dates 1837-1841 are the years van Buren served as president. The coin's minting date is 2008 and appears on the edge along with the mint mark and mottoes.Unless it's a Proof coin it's just a dollar. If you got it from a bank or in change, spend it.
