I would say it's an accurate rendering with a lot of nicks and scrapes added.
<< <i>Not me.........what in the world are they going to do with all the Adams dollars..........its mind boggling >>
You haven't even seen one yet but you think there's not room for the Adams dollars? Seems like a conclusion without basis in factual observations to me.

Just wait till they get to Polk. By then I figure they'll already have 8.5 billion presidential dollars in the treasury. At some point they're going to have to cry to Congress and get those mintages reduced. Maybe they'll melt the previous president to make the next president. Or they could do a spinoff of hands across America and do dollars across America... line them all up from California to Maine. Little children can hop and skip along the golden dollar path to the wonderful wizard of Oz!
I was online to pay for some photos after a dinner cruise and handed 3 five dollar bills and two GWs to the attendant. As I walked away with my three pictures I could see he was staring at the coins in his hand. He was confused but too busy with the press of customers to say anything. I had a little chuckle with that.

I just finished unloading a roll at Jack in the Box. The kid says "WOW, thats awesome!" and starts showing the girl working next to him. She jokingly says "we don't take those" and he replies, "um yes, of course we'll take GOLD dollars!". And yes I really do believe that he thought they were gold... so I had a nice chuckle while driving off before I saw my order was wrong!
Almost Uncirculated?/???
I wonder what happened to all the Sac's and Anthony's I usuallly get.

Get what mintages reduced? The only mintage figures that Congress specified was 1 Sac for every 2 Presidents. The Mint doesn't "have" to strike a single coin unless the Fed orders them. If the Feds vaults get stuffed with unwanted dollars they either won't order any or just a token number for direct bank orders, but by then the banks will probably be stuffed with unwanted coins as well and won't be ordering. Of course the Mint will still strike a few million for direct sale to collectors.
