Dollar coins 0

[TOTHETOP]

I have a few dollar coins that seem to be discolored.  I am wondering if this is normal wear, or if there is something special about them?

Yes; no.

Totally normal. The top two have merely been handled more.

They're perfectly normal circulated coins.  All of the gold-colored small dollar coins produced by the U.S. darken and tarnish like that in circulation.

Welcome 

You have come to a good place. Much to learn.  What you have appear to just be circulated and as mentioned by Mohawk they tend to discolor. Keep searching and do a little study     Your pictures are pretty good. We all go through a learning curve.

I have had this one for 21 years and it is the same as the day I got it. Nice and brown

I saw a video the other day about the Sacagawea coin, specifically the 2000 coins, which said there were several versions of that coin minted. One version was the Cherrios Dollar which went out in, of course, Cheerios boxes. Supposedly there were a few other versions with different coloring, all golden but of different hues and materials. I tried to look up the video I watched but there were quite a few of them on the subject on YouTube. 

They claim the Cheerios Dollar is worth $5k

Ya the experimental rinse to keep the coins looking nice. They had a hard time keeping the color Gold looking. This one turned Brown like poop and always looks the same LoL

I just recalled another one of those dollars from the 2000 series which is collectable. Its called the Wounded Eagle dollar and is supposedly fairly common. The eagle has a line thru its breast which looks sort of like an arrow and once you know what to look for its easy to see with the naked eye

This $ value might be true but you will have better luck catching a snipe during the hunt. Also junk imitations available. Look out

I decided to look on Ebay sold listings. I found a surprising number of vendors with no feedback having sold these for hundreds (or perhaps somewhat less at best offer). One supposedly sold for $11K, by a vendor with zero feedback. Zero. At least the slab that sold for over $9K was sold by someone with decent feedback, it seems--but if you look up that feedback, all of it is as a buyer.

It's almost as if people buy a few things to get rated upward, then go for the big score.

YouTube and similar unvetted sites are your numismatic enemy. Most coin videos are either commercial touts, error-filled confusion, or gross exaggerations.
