Welcome to Zoe's Coin Store
This Buy-it-Now auction is for one set of 5th
year issue of 2011 P&D Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Dollar U.S. Mint Coin
Set.
1 - Philadelphia and 1 - Denver mint coin. (2 coins total)
This series began in 2007 and have been issued
four coins per year and will continue until 2016 when the last dead president
will be honored. Any living presidents after 2016 will also be similarly
honored upon their passing.
While they are referred to as ‘Golden Dollars”, there is no gold
in these coins and are a pure copper core with an outer layer made of 77%
copper, 12 % zinc, 7% manganese, and 4% nickel.
Presidential coin series started in 2007 as to
be meant as a circulating coin, the public steadfastly would not use them.
Millions have been stockpiled in the mint vaults and will probably be melted
down. With the beginning of the 2012 issues, they continued to be minted but in
reduced production numbers for collector use only in order to reduce the
stockpile.
These dollar coins are also 'Business Strikes',
which means that since they are made for general circulation, they will not be
perfect in condition and will have minor imperfections on them, such as,
scratches, tiny nicks, and a color that sometimes is slightly different from
other dollar coins. If you want a dollar coin with utmost perfection, I suggest
purchasing a set of 'Proof Dollars'. Proofs will run approximately four times
higher in cost.
Coins will be shipped in coin protective 2X2 flip card or sleeve.
Larger orders are shipped in a protective coin tube.
These new coins are from US Mint rolls and show NO signs of wear but some have contact, grease marks or blemishes from Mint processing.
Thank you for looking, please contact me if you have any questions. I add new coins each week to my store. Save me to your favorites and you will be automatically be notified of new items listed in my store.
Good Luck Cheers.....
