John Tyler US Mint $1 Rolls Sold Out

Also double check my math please.

Thank you.

I am a big fan of the Presidential dollars
They are educational and look great.

My take is that you buy everything minted in 2009
This year will go down as one of the lowest mintages ever.

None because the Mint Set coins are not business strikes, they are satin finish coins and have a completely separate mintage.


No, melting them would destroy the seigniorage as a dollar coin only costs about 15 cents to produce. They are redistributed to other banks as they are requested. The Fed can also stockpile coins- SBAs from 1979-80 didn't run out until until the late 90s and then they had to do a mintage in 1999 to keep vending machines supplied since the Sacagawea coins were not ready until 2000.

So help me understand something. I currently am putting together a Presidential Set with P, D, and S coins. It was my assumption that I should have a P and a D along with and S for each president. I am filling the holes alloted to me by Dansco. Now if there are satin finished coins as well shouldn't I be collecting 2 P's and 2 D's for each President if I want to have a true "complete" set for each president? Why doesn't Dansco make albums to accomodate this or am I missing something?

It really bothers me that they started using satin finish coins in the mint sets.

There are people (like myself) that accept the fact that the 2005+ mint set coins are no longer the same as the regular business strikes. If you collect proofs because they are different, then you should collect the satin finish coins in addition to the regular circulation strikes.

Then there are those that just build sets by breaking apart mint sets. In this case, it really does not matter how the mint set coins are made, so long as the coins come from mint sets.

There are several arguments to be made for or against the declaration of the satin finish coins as their own type. I will leave that for others to comment.

Whatever you decide, it is your choice to collect what you like. If you really want to collect both, then I propose getting an additional P&D (no proof) Presidential dollar album. Use the P, D, & S album for the satin and proof coins; use the P & D album for the business strikes.

I would expect them to be Satin Finish.

A Quote From Mint Web Site

"Unlike circulating coins, uncirculated coins are struck on specially burnished blanks and feature a satin-like finish"

The set you refer to is "2009 Presidential $1 Coin Uncirculated Set"

Went to the bank, the have Tyler rolls. Not bad for face value!

I'll just get enough of these to maintain my business strike folder/albums for me and family members.....
I started out with a big interest in these....collecting them in rolls, etc........got rid of all of those (except the first year) and now just do the "singles".
A low mintage in this Tyler coin just doesn't have me doing back flips to run out and "hoard em'" !....
I'll have them all in Proofs when this is over and turn those into a nice album....that'll be "my" main focus with these.
