New dollars

Who's thinking about collecting the Presidential dollars next year? They may be somewhat spectacular and may make a nice set. At least there will be more variety unlike the SACs. It could be an endevour.

    Add another album to my bookshelf!
    I'm not super excited about them but I think a running series, like State quarters, is a lot of fun to collect.
    I'm sure it will bring in some new collectors too.
    The first ladies in gold will be out of my budget though. Plus, I feel that many of them are historically insignificant.

    If they can produce a coin with the quality of the Dolly Madison Com...then I susspect they will sell many...but if they look like Eunice Shriver Kennedy...forget it!

    Since the cost to collect these little jewels will be $1, why not.

    Makes me wonder whether they will be included in the Uncirculated and PROOF sets (and what that will do to the prices).

    Sure, another easy collection to get into at the ground floor.

    Do I like coins with presidents? No, but as long as they will make them, I suppose I'd like to have one of each.

    Depends on who they start with. G.W.B. I'll die first.

    Sorry to any who disagree, but I think he's an asimage
    And so is DAD.

    Don't be so sure there going to be a buck..........Look at the SAC's. The mint in this for profit not collecting IMO.

    If they offer a proof version I'll probably collect them. The series may finally generate enough interest such that the dollar coin becomes more widely accepted. I can't remember the last time I got a $1 coin in change.

    Yes, Clinton banging an intern would sell many more coins. Or Carter hugging Castro....

    NO...But if we must have presidential coins. We could start with J. Adams And stop with T.R.

    F.D.R., Ike and Kennedy have there coins, screw the rest.image

    The reverse could be a stained blue dress or giving nuclear missles to Red China, with Carter is could be handing over the keys to the Panama Canal or 28% interest rates.........no, it would have to be Americans held hostage in Iran for over a year. Yeah, those guys have quite a legacy to celebrate.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    I just hope the proofs have a little more releif to them. The 24k gold better.
