What is a 2014-D Herbert Hoover Presidential Dollar worth?
Worn examples are worth face value and can be spent. Keep it only if it looks uncirculated or shows a known variety.

- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2014-D Herbert Hoover Presidential Dollar rare?
- Not in absolute terms: 3.8 million were made. It is one of the smaller runs in the series, though, so uncirculated examples are worth a little more than most dates.
- Is the 2014-D Herbert Hoover 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 2014 Presidential Dollar?
- On the edge, incused along with the date and mottos. On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2014-D Herbert Hoover Presidential Dollar coins were made?
- 3,780,000.
What to check on your 2014-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2014-P (4.5 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 4 million made, the 2014-D 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 2014-D Herbert Hoover
Denver made 3,780,000 of the Herbert Hoover presidential dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2014 it was the second largest Denver run, between Calvin Coolidge (3.8 million) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (3.9 million).
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (4.5 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 9th of 40 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is George H. W. Bush at 1.5 million.
Made only for collectors (2012 to 2016)
From 2012 the program continued for collectors only. The Mint struck the remaining presidents in small numbers and sold them in rolls, bags and sets, so these dates are seldom found in change and their mintages are a fraction of the early years.
The original program ended in 2016 with Ronald Reagan. Uncirculated coins from original rolls are the usual way to fill these years in a set and edge lettering errors from this period are much rarer than the early ones.
How to recognize it
The Herbert Hoover design
Herbert Hoover was the 31st president, serving from 1929 to 1933. A mining engineer by training, he led relief efforts for Belgium during World War I and later served as secretary of commerce. The stock market crash of October 1929 came months into his term and was followed by the Great Depression. In 1932 he signed legislation creating the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. He lost his 1932 reelection bid to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
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.
