Marine Corps Commemorative Coins

Do you have commemorative coins and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

On July 20, 2005 these Marine Corps Commemorative Coins went on sale. $35.00 for the uncirculated silver dollar and $39.00 for the Proof silver dollar. I bought one of each immediately and one came in three months and the second came in December.

Usually the mint is fast in shipping but this time they took extremely long.

Each coin is to honor the 230th Anniversary of the Marine Corps.

Here is the Uncirculated one, the picture was taken with a camera. Notice the frosty surface and the color was off because I used a different light sources for each picture.This is the Proof one, notice the black surface because it has a mirror like surface. I put these in a scanner to get the picture, but I did not clean it and the smudges are on the plastic.
As for the value they currently have. Well it is hard to be precise but they sell on eBay for $45.00 with the government packaging. Soon though the true mintage will come out and the Red Book price may be anywhere from $45.00-$55.00.

The quality was less then perfect on these two coins but I only bought two so I'm stuck with them. This year the mint was disappointing after 4 years of near perfect coins.

Update:

Here's the stats for both coins...
Type/Country: 1 Dollar / United States
Year: 2005-P, uncirculated
Mintages: 49,671
Metal: Silver
Value: UNC $50.00

Type/Country: 1 Dollar / United States
Year: 2005-P, proof
Mintages: 548,810
Metal: Silver
Value: Proof $50.00

  1. I have a 1929 $20.00 bill with a red seal from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. It has 4 letter C's on the face. I would like to know the value of this bill, if any.

    These coins are generally not faked.
    But the appearance is the best way to test. If they look fake they might be.

    Also weigh them each one should be about 26.73 grams.

    No such thing as a 1979 series it must be 1976.
    It's about $10.00.

  12. $20 bill with NO "In God We Trust" on the back of the bill, series 1950 C...Serial # F10127990B

    About $22.00 now and maybe if the redesign the bill again for 2010 and again by 2015 then it may go up $25 or $30.
    But that is just a guess these notes are very common and hold little value in circulating condition.

  17. Good evening, Hope you can help with values:
    3 bills:
    #1) 1922 $10 bill, payable in gold, unusual size, reverse is almost orange.
    #2) 1981 $20 bill, looks to have been folded during printing as there is a diagonal line (white, no ink) 3/16" going through center.
    33) 1977 $1: No ink or anything to the left of George. Between the signature and The Legal Tender words, the note is missing all. No Serial # on the note anywhere, no seal, no stamp.
    Can send or post pics if interested.
    Thanks!

  26. This scratch pad book was made by the bank using the new one dollar bills. They were put into a cover with Texas Scratch Pad on the front and The Bank of Robstown on the back cover. I believe the bills were glued somhow at the top of the fold on the scratch pad. They were sold as gifts.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Texas Scratch Pad...

    This is a bank novelty gift it has no extra value as a set but if the glue has not damaged the bills it would be about $3.00 per bill if crisp-uncirculated.

  28. I really hate to do this to you, and if it is too much trouble, just mention the things that are worth more than a couple of bucks extra.


    1. 1963a one dollar bill, f39344151b with a sticker that reads Corpus Christi tourist convention $$$ it was something they came up with to try and see where their tourist dollars went.

    2. $2 bill nearly new just a few bends from handling. F00021761*

    3. $2 bill same condition as above I00056476*

    4. $2 bill Same condition as above D00296470*

    5. $1 bill crisp as new but folded three places, face side printed off the left side of bill, and one stripe from the next is just visible on the other end until it runs off the page from a crooked print

    6. This will be a list of $2 bills some in series, some close. Just a list so you can see if anything jumps out at you.

    Lots to go through I know, and like I said, if it is too much work looking up each individually, Maybe just the consecutives.

    I jus did them in order because I am sure I got most of these when I worked at a gas station, and would go ask the bank for two dollar bills, and any odd money they had.

    Thanks again. I love that you are willing to do this.

  32. Thanks for all the help above. I was looking at a $5 bill that I have in my pocket and noticed the front of the serial number started with FK and under the left serial number is the mark K11, could you explain the two prefix numbers?

    I was also wondering about the star notes. Most of what I read says that the last letter is replaced, so why is on of mine showing the star in the prefix letter position?

    ReplyDelete
  33. serial number started with FK...
    The second letter "K" is the district letter which in your case is Dallas. That means this notes was made specifically for the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank for distribution in that area.

    The first letter F is Bill Series in your case Series 2003-A.
    The previous note was Series 2003 and started with a D.

    ...so why is on of mine showing the star in the prefix letter position?
    On Non-Federal notes the star is placed in the prefix these notes are no longer issue, since about 1963, but are still okay to use.

    I suspect they were plated gold after the set was broken up since I can't find any info on this "gold" medal.

    Weigh it, if it's 0.82 oz then it is sterling silver plated in a thin later of gold.

    This was part of the Franklin Mint Special Commemorative Issues Medals 1975
    Special First Edition Proofs.

    This is the 3rd of 36 medals in the set.
    Sterling Silver
    Mintage: 1,872
    The entire set is somewhat rare so each medal is hard to evaluate but the are commonly sold for about $30.00.

    Now if it weighs more than 0.82oz I am completely stumped.

  55. Hello I just pick a few bills didn't want to bother you with them all.

    1: one dollar Cleveland National Currency May 18 1914 series of 1918 D29047141A

    2: One dollar Silver certificate 1923 *23000376D

    3: One dollar 1917 (ripped in half) N84132364A

    4: Two silver dollars blue seal date to small for me to see N94713628 with 3 marks after the number

    5: Five dollar silver certificate this too the date is to small for me to see N23158099 with the same 3 marks after the number as the 2 dollar bill above. This 5 has a picture of an american Indian on the front

    6:Ten dollar 1981 B18358799D this bill has 4 creases in it one from top to bottom right through Hamilton head then the 2nd to the left through the D in serial # and the B stamp 3rd is at the left edge of the THE to the top of bill 4th is to the left of the 10 top left corner. if you pull on the bill from each side you can see the white lines where it didn't print.

    7: 10 dollar bill large 2-B blue seal B22268518B 1914 the 2's in the serial number aren't straight I believe this bill has never been touched it is pressed in between 2 pieces of plastic.

    8: $100.00 dollar bill red seal 1966 A00600233A
    there is a very thin pink mark looks like someone check to see if it was real or something but it bled through to the back of the bill.

    I want to thank you so much for what you do. I am certain these are worth something but I won't be retiring from them either.After reading all the post here I am hoping you will understand my description of the bills. Please e-mail me at nanbz28@aol.com

  57. Thank you so much. On the Ten dollar 1914 #7 above the 2's in the serial number belly down or hang lower then the rest of the numbers is that a flaw? And does the economy effect the price of paper money?

    No this is normal.

    And does the economy effect the price of paper money?
    Yes, currently so many people are selling there collections that the prices are going down.
    It's a buyer market...if you can afford it.

  59. I have a US Marine Coin that looks like the 2005 commerative coin, but does not have the 2005 date on it (does have the 1775 date, although it is located on the bottom eg. of the coin). It is the back of the coin that I am having difficulty identifying as it has every battle listed ending with Granada. This battle is listed at the bottom under the base of the flag raising motif. I have seen similiar coins, but none that list the number of occupations that this one does. It appears to be a gold plated coin (not sure on that one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think they would be slightly more about $450.00 for the set.
    That is just $50 more than normal, because I'm assuming they are not officially graded and I don't know if others have been found.

    So in a good auctions it may go for more but I like being conservative.

    ReplyDelete
  86. If you dont mind me asking what does it mean to be officially graded?
    --It means the coin was sent to a grading company like PCGS or NGC. The coin is examined by ANA or expert graders and gets sealed in a protective slab. It cost $30 or more to grade each coin depending on rarity.

    Also, this is a round about idea of what a collector might be willing to pay, correct?
    --Yes, coins like most collectibles can have a wide range of values. Your skill as a buyer can change the price.

    These are retail values, the cost for you to replace the coin at a fair market.
    Also known as insurance value.

    Try several coin shops in your area, the reason 1996 fakes were good is that they used $1 and even $10 bills to make fake $20 bills.

    That said errors are known for 1996 so it may cost you but to get it graded.
    Try PCGS send 1 for grading and if real and high grade the can go to $500 or more.

    Google PCGS and you will see a link to Authorized Dealers that may help.
    Also look around PCGS to see if it is worth paying to get all or just one certified.

    Sounds like an optical illusion, the ink most likely smeared during printing giving the illusion of teeth.

    Of course "teeth" are no possible since the there is only one portrait used and it is copied exactly every time.

    To post pictures just use a free photo site and copy and paste the link here.

    If just an Ink Smear error, no extra value.

    1st great pictures.

    2nd The Faulty Alignment does not add value it's too minor.

    3rd The Odd watermark is just an Ink Smear error, the outline of the lips match with normal bills. So this is not a design variety. The Minor Ink Smear does not add value and unless it becomes popular like the Bugs Bunny Half Dollar this will never have any extra value.

    In general most watermark errors are not seriously collected.

    I have looked online for the closest item to this and can't seem to find it. This coin differs from all I have seen because it has Kuwait listed on the back, and every search I have done doesn't have it. The year is 1775 1oz .999 Fine Silver. Do I have any value on my hands? Hopefully the picture will show:

    This is a silver round and not an official coin.
    I'm not sure what company designs them but they make about 5 designs of this 1775 United States Marine Corps every year.

    They have no extra value above the 1 troy oz of silver. So about $30.00 that said I think the original sales prices was $69.99 so they are often seen at $75-$100 on retail sites but they are overvalued.

    Your "Kuwait" means it was made recently, they modified an older design but that still adds no value.
