Small Dollar Coins

Is it worth the time to get a box of small dollar coins from my bank, any errors or dates worth the time?

Thx for any input

Do they up-charge you for the transaction? If not, then the worst you can do is break even.

No up charge, just had so many half dollar box skunks lately, thought I would try something different. My question is, are their any small dollar coins worth searching for. Or just keep getting half’s.

Thx

Small dollars can bring a premium. It is not much, but a full set of SBA dollars can easily double your cost, if the right collector can be found. Same with Native American series and Presidential series.

The American Innovation series is especially low mintage and do show up now and then.
