What is a 2010-P Millard Fillmore Presidential Dollar worth?
A worn 2010-P Millard Fillmore is a spender: face value. A bright uncirculated one, or one with a known error, is worth setting aside.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error

Quick answers
- Is the 2010-P Millard Fillmore Presidential Dollar rare?
- Not by date: 38 million were struck. A sharp uncirculated coin or a known variety is what makes one special.
- Is the 2010-P Millard Fillmore Presidential Dollar silver?
- No. It's manganese brass (88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel). Circulating silver dollars ended with the 1935 Peace dollar. Some Eisenhower dollars with an S mint mark were made in 40% silver for collectors, but circulation Ike dollars are copper-nickel clad.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2010 Presidential Dollar?
- On the edge, incused along with the date and mottos. On this coin the mark is P, for Philadelphia.
- How many 2010-P Millard Fillmore Presidential Dollar coins were made?
- 37,520,000.
What to check on your 2010-P
- Make sure the mint mark really is a P. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2010-D (37 million made).
- Judge the grade under good light. Check the high points of each portrait and the edge lettering, which should be complete and evenly spaced.
With 38 million made, the 2010-P still turns up in everyday change. Keep yours only if it looks uncirculated or shows a variety; otherwise it's worth face value.
The story of the 2010-P Millard Fillmore
Philadelphia made 37,520,000 of the Millard Fillmore presidential dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2010 it was the second smallest Philadelphia run, between James Buchanan (37 million) and Franklin Pierce (38 million).
Denver struck a similar number of the same design (37 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 24th of 40 Philadelphia designs by mintage, where the scarcest is George H. W. Bush at 1.2 million.
The motto moves and the stockpile grows (2009 to 2011)
From 2009 IN GOD WE TRUST moved off the edge and onto the obverse, while the date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM stayed on the edge. Mintages fell steadily as the coins kept piling up unused.
By 2011 the Federal Reserve held well over a billion dollar coins it could not circulate. At the end of that year the Treasury stopped making Presidential dollars for circulation, so the coins of 2011 were the last made in large numbers.
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2010
The Union Shield reverse replaced the Lincoln Memorial on the cent. The America the Beautiful quarters began, honoring a national park or site in every state and territory.
How to recognize it
The Millard Fillmore design
Millard Fillmore, the 13th president, took office on the death of Zachary Taylor and served from 1850 to 1853. He signed the measures known as the Compromise of 1850, among them the Fugitive Slave Act. His administration sent Commodore Matthew Perry on the naval expedition that opened diplomatic relations with Japan. Fillmore was a founder and first chancellor of the University of Buffalo. In 1856 he ran for president again as the American Party candidate.
The Presidential Dollar design
The obverse shows a president with his name and the order and years of his time in office. The reverse shows the Statue of Liberty with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM are lettered on the edge, along with IN GOD WE TRUST on coins struck before 2009, so check the edge for the mint mark.
