About this Product

Full Product Name

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 Denver Mint dollar is in Uncirculated condition, layered in 24 karat gold and encapsulated to protect it's condition.

Presidential Facts:

After only half a year as Vice President, Chester Arthur found himself unexpectedly in the executive mansion becoming the 21st President after the assassination of President James Garfield. Prior to his years in politics he was a school teacher, a principle, and an attorney. At the outset of the Civil War he was given the rank of brigadier general and initially assigned to the quartermaster department. He was quickly promoted to inspector general and then quartermaster general. Since Arthur was a widower, his sister served as White House hostess. He presided over the rebirth of the United States Navy.
