Presidential dollar question?

Was just looking through the 2008 red book and noticed that there is a silver version of the presidential dollars listed. What mint set are these a part of?

    Here is what the red book says: "The size and composition of these coins is the same as that of the sacagawea dollars that are also made each year. Special silver proofs of the presidential dollars are struck each year for collectors as well."

    2007S George Washington Silver Proof 65 is valued at $16.
    2007S John Adams Silver Proof 65 is valued at $16.
    2007S Thomas Jefferson Silver Proof 65 is valued at $16.
    2007S James Madison Silver Proof 65 is valued at $16.

    Did the red book get it wrong?

    This was perhaps one of the biggest numismatic boo-boo's of the year by a major publisher trying to get a jump on the competition!

    In all seriousness, I believe when the Redbook had to go to press Congress was still deciding on the bill.

    Editors had to decide (guess) whether there would be a silver version of the Prez. dollars or not.
    Editors guessed Yes; Congress voted No.

    Darn Redbook!!! Was reading through it tonight and saw this error about silver Prez dollars!!! Started to freak out that I had forgotten to order a set in 2007. Even went and looked at my 2007 silver set to read the composition on the COA. Then started to worry that the Mint put the regular Prez dollars in my silver set by mistake!! Once again, this forum had the answer. image Oh well, no silver Prez bucks for me... or for anyone else too.
