Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 2018 Native American Dollar coins. Uncirculated coins in high grades (MS65 and above) command significant premiums over circulated examples. For circulation strikes, coins with full luster and minimal contact marks are highly desirable.
Proof coins are valued based on the quality of the strike, with deep cameo contrast being particularly sought after. Perfect PR70 examples can fetch substantial premiums over lower grades.
