Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2012 Dollar coins. While these coins were not widely circulated, those that have been in circulation may show signs of wear on high points such as Sacagawea’s cheek and hair.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 or higher grades are more desirable, with premium values for those with full luster and no significant contact marks. Proof coins are expected to be in high grades, with PR69 and PR70 specimens commanding the highest premiums.

Several factors can influence the value of 2012 Dollar coins:

2. Luster: Coins with full, original mint luster are preferred by collectors.
3. Toning: While not common on these modern coins, any attractive toning could increase appeal to some collectors.
4. Error Coins: Any significant minting errors, such as off-center strikes or die cracks, could potentially increase value to error collectors.
5. First Strike or Early Releases: Coins certified as First Strikes or Early Releases by grading services may command a slight premium among some collectors.
