It's worth exactly one dollar. 1881 is the year Garfield was President, while the coin itself was minted in 2011.
Well the answer is that its worth 410$ dollars i would know i have the exact coin
Retail value is likely $185.00-$225.00 but it depends on what the coin actually grades out at.
Do you want to check those dates again? 1881 has nothing to do with President Adams. If you have a gold-colored coin that's 26 mm in diameter, the dates will be 1797-1801 and it's an ordinary circulation coin worth ... ba DING ... one dollar.
Your coin is almost certainly a modern Presidential Dollar coin. If you found it in change, it's only worth a dollar. To explain: Under the picture of James Garfield it has the words "In God We Trust 20th President 1881." However 1881 is not the date of the coin, it only shows the year of the president's term. If you look on the rim of the coin you can see the actual year of mintage, 2011. Sorry to disappoint you, but its not made of gold either! The shiny surface only looks like gold but is actually brass on top of copper. If it's uncirculated the coin is probably only worth $3-$8 but save it because these dollar coins are now discontinued and may be worth more someday!
