On President's Day Weekend 2007, the U.S. Mint introduced the Presidential Dollars. Experts believe this will be the BIGGEST & most successful coin series in U.S. History. Even more popular & more exciting than the State Quarter Program! It's the first coin collection honoring all non-living Presidents.
Each President will be featured on a unique golden-colored coin. One side will show the President, while the other side depicts the Statue of Liberty. The Presidential Dollar will also incorporate unique edge lettering featuring the Year of Issue, Mint Mark, and "E Pluribus Unum." In 2009, the motto "In God We Trust" was moved from the edge to the obverse of the coin.
FOUR Presidential Dollars will be struck per year, each issue for only 3 months, then never again. Making each Dollar limited!
Presidential Dollars are struck at 3 U.S. Mint facilities. The Philadelphia and Denver Mint strike the Uncirculated issues, while the San Francisco Mint strikes the proof. This Philadelphia Mint dollar is in Uncirculated condition and encapsulated to protect it's condition.
PRESIDENTIAL FACT:
The Hayes coin is the 19th in the series because Hayes was the 19th President. The portrait of Rutherford B. Hayes on the Presidential Dollar is based on a photograph of Hayes taken by Mathew Brady. Hayes was renowned for his dignity and honesty. As President, he ended Reconstruction in former Confederate states by withdrawing the last federal troops. However, with a Democratic Congress opposed to his policies and bitter about the election, he was able to achieve little. Intending to serve only one term, he retired in 1881 and returned to his home in Fremont, Ohio. He died there on January 17, 1893.
