Folks,
I have just published another showcase, entitled: "America's Presidents". It is comprised of only circulating and modern commemorative coins in proof finish and includes coins from Washington to Reagan. Here is the link:

Please let me know your thoughts. I tried to make it interesting, but there is only limited space for a written description.
Thanks, in advance for your comments.

Great work, another awesome set !!!
Nice way to showcase the Prez!
my love affair ended in 1963 and it's been all downhill ever since.

Ew. "Love affair. President. " I am sorry but this headline right now just gives me the creeps. Absolutely no offense intended to the collector in the OP or his collection. And I too am a Kennedy admirer.
Kind regards,
George
Let's just keep alive until 2020.
That's a great-looking collection of historic coins @Casabrown! I would try to add a Lincoln commemorative half aka 1918 Illinois Centennial to it.
Kind regards,
George
Very interesting. Is this in a proof?
Thanks
Nope @Casabrown, Mint State coins only. Current Greysheet Bid prices in MS63-64-65 are 140-180-260.
Kind regards,

Great set, enjoyed looking at it...
How about the Illinois quarter... it has Lincoln on it.
Also the 2013 Mount Rushmore ATB Quarter would work well with the other Mt. Rushmore pieces in your set.
Could add one or more of the 5 oz. Silver ATB Quarters... still technically quarters.
$10 Jackson First Spouse Gold coin has Andrew Jackson on the reverse... maybe some of other First Spouse coins feature presidents too? Buchanan I think?
Another I thought of was to add the 1920 Wilson Dollars... available in copper, silver and even gold. I know they aren't exactly coins though so I understand why they were excluded. If you opened the set up to medals, it could get a bit crazy!

I really appreciate the feedback.
I have limited this set to only proof circulating and modern commemorative coins. So I added the Illinois quarter and the Jackson First Spouse coin. I do not collect the ATB Quarters.
Again, thanks for the feedback and keep the ideas coming.
