In another forum a large part of the threads are about the pros, cons, shoulds, coulds, and whatsists of the upcoming Deadpres Dollar series. How come there seems to be so little discussion of them here?

There has been discussion, most of it negative.

You're not paying attention, are you? There have been many threads, going back years.

The modern bashers are against anything new that would harm their precious metal collection.The so called debased manganese metal will soon be the collectable norm.

Soon to be eBay dogs along with the expensive gold better half coins. I would only buy a few of the president's wife's coins like Martha, Abigail, Dolly, Eleanor and Jackie to name a few.

I don't think they are going to do too well

1. There is nothing new in dead presidents

2. The coins will be struck in Cr@@py alloy
no silver or gold.

3. Too much material is pouring forth from the Mint.

4. The Mint changes the rules of the game, too many times
to allow collectors to make a reasonable decision.

5. I will withhold a final opinion untill I see the actual coins, but
it is more then likely, that I will not participate for the above
reasons.

No limited edition First Strikes™ equals no interest. I expect that when some coins are actually released, there will be a buzz on the forum about them.

The one thing in the Prexybucks' favor is the fact that they should be able to be had for face value. For a dollar, I'll add a George Washington buck to my collection, no problem.

As much as I abhor the modern Mint nonsense, I would likely consider buying the least popular and lowest mintage of the First Lady pieces. I also wonder if they'll sidestep Buchanan on that one or make it an intriguing bustless obverse. If the latter, high grade examples might be tough with that much field exposed.
