POLL: Are you satisfied with the new Presidential Dollars?

Scioto · February 23, 2007 1:49AM

Over all are you satisfied with the new Presidential Dollars?

pf70collector · February 23, 2007 2:50AM

At first when I heard about them honestly I was not interested. But they grow on your after a while, and I will complete a PCGS Registry set in both MS and PF of these.

Preussen · February 23, 2007 2:53AM

I tried very hard to be excited about the series, but I found the GW Dollar extremely disappointing. -Preussen

Barndog · February 23, 2007 2:53AM

I think I would be more satisfied with them if I read about them less.

Longacre · February 23, 2007 2:57AM

I need to see them in person. I don't care for Washington's pic, but I might like them better in person.

orie · February 23, 2007 2:58AM

I'm with Dog-enough is enough. From here on out, all I'll need to know can be found in the pop reports and Ebay sales.

aballein · February 23, 2007 3:02AM

i think they are ugly but fun to spend and a nice convo starter. Since ive been spending these coins i have found out that there are quite a few people in my town that have old coins in their proverbial "sock drawers".

MisterBungle · February 23, 2007 3:06AM

I've tried to like them.

Really!!

So far, unsuccessfully.

flaminio · February 23, 2007 3:12AM

They spend OK. I'm satisfied.

SmallTownCoins · February 23, 2007 3:14AM

I like them, they are selling well.... :-)

Connecticoin · February 23, 2007 3:47AM

The coin itself and find and handy for everyday use. It would be better if the $1 bill were eliminated.

As a collectible coin, it sucks. Unless we elect a President that gives a crap about coin design like Teddy R., our coinage will suck for the forseeable future.

<< <i>I think I would be more satisfied with them if I read about them less. >>

I hear you.

I have no first-hand experience with the coin.

richardshipp · February 23, 2007 3:55AM

Other than pictures I haven't even seen one yet. Now that I think about it...... its been a long time since I've seen a Sacag. or SBA as well.

Scioto · February 23, 2007 5:29AM

BobaFett72 - love that serial number!

ricko · February 23, 2007 6:28AM

Ugly... and there was no need to be ugly - and no need for presidential coins... could have been flowers, cities, naval ships, medal of honor winners etc etc etc..... just not ugly... yuck.. kakak poopoo.... Cheers, RickO

You think this is Canada...eh?

Paleodale · February 23, 2007 9:14AM

I told a U.S. Mint employee at the ANA world fair of coins that I was sick and tired of Dead Presidents On our coins and they needed to be more Beautiful works of art.. You would have thought I'd shot her or something by the look on her face,,

,, Now, Look what they've done.. There ALL going to on our coins now...

paigowjohnny · February 23, 2007 9:24AM

Chuck E. Cheese token !!!

flaminio · February 23, 2007 9:30AM

<< <i>Chuck E. Cheese token !!! >>

When I got the coin that had a picture of a rat on it I first thought "Hey, the George W. Bush presidential dollar coin is out already!" but then I realized it was just a CEC token

...

stockwiz · February 23, 2007 9:36AM

no.. washington's eyes are lopsided and they look like tokens. Having such a huge face with the lettering on the sides is just strange.

BECOKA · February 23, 2007 9:40AM

I am satisfied. At first I was not sure but it grew on me. I will collect the proofs and maybe try for a couple of MS but otherwise I will have fun spending them and seeing the faces of the tellers when they see something new.

I took some to the post office today and they were thrilled to see them.

metallbarren · February 23, 2007 9:59AM

I'll be happy with them if they actually replace the dollar bill.

combatmailman · February 23, 2007 10:41AM

Have yet to see one in person. Although my daughter works at a bank and she has seen them. She says they are pretty. I'll wait on my proofs.

TheRaven · February 23, 2007 11:38AM

The coins look like Chucky Cheese tokens

pb2y · February 23, 2007 11:51AM

THE WASHINGTON DOLLAR COIN --------
Very plain and simple. lacking the hairline detail of a Morgan or Walker.
The Washington quarter is superior in appearance.
The program is only a prelude to obsoleting the $1 and $5 bills.

19Lyds · February 23, 2007 2:03PM

<< <i>I need to see them in person. I don't care for Washington's pic, but I might like them better in person. >>

I could almost guarantee that if you don;t like the picture, you wont like the coin.

Me? I like em and am willing to give them a chance. Every person that has received them from me has been just delighted!

The problem that numismatists have is that they base the design of new coins on what they have enjoyed in the past. Few of us were around when the classi moderns were introduced and I have heard that few people cared for the Buffalo nickel when it came out. But, every body just loves them today.

Granted, this series will have some dogs and it may go the way of the IKE dollar in the popularity department but the US Mint seems intent on pushing these things through so we might as well get used to them!

garsmith · February 23, 2007 5:14PM

I haven't seen one in person yet, I did subscribe to the proof sets. Will wait awile before deciding if I am going to start MS an PF registry sets!

BrickLayer · February 23, 2007 7:04PM

For a coin that's supose to be golden in color, I got a couple of rolls that sure are silver colored. I'm thinking of maybe going back to that same bank and getting some more rolls of these. I thought the coins where suppose to be a silver colored coin.

TorinoCobra71 · February 23, 2007 7:34PM

I have yet to see one......

"In Person That Is....."

fishcooker · February 23, 2007 9:52PM

Satisfied? I guess.

I doubt I'll use the coin. I'm not going to the bank and getting other collector's culls. And I'm not paying $39 for 25 from the mint that I can't even see cause they're rolled.

I never really worried about whether or not I was satified with modern circulating (sic) coinage.

sumnom · March 2, 2007 9:42AM

I simply cannot believe the mint went with this design. The sac was the best thing they've come up with in 60 years and then they produce this...

rich · March 2, 2007 11:32AM

The best quote I heard yet was "They look like they should have chocolate inside "

dpoole · March 2, 2007 1:50PM

They'll take some getting used to.

...if we every see any of them.
