D is for Denver

Do you have a dollar coin and want to know how much it's worth? Leave a comment

I almost did not post this coin mainly because it was one I talked about before. The only difference from the previous find is that this one is from Denver which is the more difficult mint to find on the east coast.

For those not familiar with American coin distribution I will try and explain. We have two major mints, one in Philadelphia (P) and one in Denver (D). There are two other mints at San Francisco (S) and West Point (W) that have produced coins with and without the mintmarks but their main focus is on premium coins. Of course we also have Fort Knox as a non-coin production facility and 8 more that are gone.

The Cycle
  1. The U.S. Mint estimates how much coins are needed, with no guarantee of absolute accuracy.
  2. Coins are needed by the public for business, et al.
  3. Businesses request coins from the local banks.
  4. Banks request coins from the nearest of 12 Federal Reserve banks.
  5. Federal Reserve banks sends and receives coins to the local banks.
  6. When remaining coins at the Federal Reserves are low more is ordered from the Mint.
  7. Repeat step 1.
How to Get a Denver coin?
Easy live close to Denver. To be more efficient the mint sends coins to the closest Reserves and in turn the Reserves distributes the coins to the closest banks and on and on. Keeping most Denver coins on the west coast or middle states.

It takes up to five years for me to find the Denver equivalent of the Philadelphia coin.

One other reason I decided to post this coin was the pictures came out great. The coin was the smoothest and most gold colored golden dollar I've ever held.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Dollar-John Tyler / United States
Year: 2009 D (Edge normal)
Mintage: 43,540,000
Metal: 88.5% Copper, 6% Zinc, 3.5% Manganese, and 2% Nickel
Value: $1.00 in AU-50

They never came like this from the GOV.
This sounds like some sort of tourist promotional product.

I've never seen this in auction so I must assuming the have just face value or a little above.
