These look like gold but they are 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel. The United States honored our Nation’s Presidents by issuing $1 coins featuring their images in the order that they served. The Program began in 2007 with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison. All Presidential Dollar coins contain edge lettering inscriptions with the date and mint mark. When the coins were first released in 2007, there was a lot of excitement in the coin market and media about the new coins, especially since the last time the U.S. Mint struck coins with edge lettering inscriptions was back in 1933 on the Saint Gaudens Double Eagles. More excitement came once missing edge lettering dollars were discovered. These are considered major mint errors. Other more minor varieties have surfaced since then, including double overlapped edge lettering, double inverted edge lettering, and weak and partial edge lettering varieties. With so many different Presidential Dollar coins, errors and varieties, this is a an exciting coin series to collect.

The coin you will get will be identical to the photos depicted.

We are experts at evaluating the condition of this coin, so we know a good coin when we see one. While we cannot make a specific representation to you or even say the word (EBay does not allow that), and we can not guarantee grading results from a 3rd party grading company, we describe it as we do only if we are reasonably sure that a coin is in this condition. We will only send a coin in for slabbing and evaluation under certain circumstances described below and we do sell these as well. But we know it is a fine coin and we are sure you will like it and will agree that its description that we are permitted to say is accurate.

We have both varieties of this Presidential business strike small dollar coin, Position A and Position B if you need one of them in particular. Just tell us by email which you want. If we do not have your requested type, we will let you know and refund your purchase if you want to cancel. 

We also have SMS, “special” satin or enhanced specimens of many Presidential dollars for sale listed separately by themselves as we have only a limited quantity of them. We will also encapsulate them for you if you prefer that over the 2X2 flips we normally use, so that you can easily see the markings on the edge of the coin which show the mint-mark, year and the type it is. Just tell us you want that in any offer below the asking price. 

This coin was chosen as among the best of the coins obtained directly from the U.S. Mint in “mint wrapped” (OBW) rolls in either U.S. Mint or String & Son Roll wrapping, and are usually much better than most of the BU quality typically offered at bargain prices by others, which include many flaws and imperfections caused by the Mint during mass production or packaging typical for business strike coins of this type. 

“Mint” means they are deemed the best quality to be sold in raw (ungraded) form. “Gem” or “Mint” uncirculated condition an uncirculated coin with only minor distracting marks or imperfections, and we have a lot of these. These have only the slightest distracting marks or imperfections. Toning is still quite acceptable and in these grades will usually be pleasing. At this point, mint luster is expected to be full, although toning is quite acceptable.

“Choice BU” generally means “Choice Uncirculated” or “Choice BU” which means it has none of the heavy marks or imperfections that often come from the U.S. Mint (even though uncirculated) when they are processed by machines and bang into other coins that leave their mark. It is sometimes used to refer to a coin that is better than uncirculated grade 60-62 and thus good but not as good as a "GEM," which is 65 or better. The only difference between “Choice” and “Mint” to what you will get but with perhaps a few more imperfections barely noticeable, or a full refund will be given if you are not completely satisfied. If you are looking for a quality coin close to the price of a “BU” (possibly the lowest) condition uncirculated coin, we offer Choice as well as Mint quality.

Although this one is ungraded, we also carry graded versions of these coins at very high grade, i.e., 66 or better. Presidential Dollars at 66 or below “Mint” are not worth the cost of getting them evaluated by an expert and slabbed because the cost is about the same as the coin might sell for. We will send it in to an expert to be certified or graded if we think it is both a high “Gem” or “Mint” and then only if the prices of that particular coin justify the cost. We also carry coins we deem of this quality but do not grade them anticipating that some buyers will not need graded coins or will not want to pay the higher cost of such graded coins.

All of our GEM, MINT and CHOICE coins came from and are brand new from the U.S. Mint and have never been circulated. We do not clean coins as that will destroy its value. Beware of circulated coins that are dull, worn or perfectly silver or where the photo is so bad you cannot tell! We do not alter or repair the photo of the coin in any way to “doctor” its look. This is either the coin you will get or is comparable to the one you will get, or your money back.
