Collectibility and Rare Varieties
While not particularly rare, the condition of the coin significantly impacts its value. Uncirculated and proof versions are more valuable. Errors such as off-center strikes or double dies can increase rarity and value. The relatively low mintage compared to some other Presidential Dollars makes high-grade examples more desirable to collectors.
