Presidential Dollars/Dansco - To Collect Both Mints Or Not

The end of the series should be known by the end of 2014 or early 2015, taking the 2-year rule into account. So you have a little time left!

I'm of the opinion that, as the law is written, even if Carter does not die by mid-2014, Reagan will have his face on a coin in 2016. But others believe that Carter has to die first in order for Reagan to be honored.

Funny you started this thread, I just got my Dansco 7184 in the mail yesterday. I choose the 7184 because it was one book, where the set with proofs was two books. I will have all the proofs with the sets I order each year but not sure if I will break them open yet.

I placed what coins I had loose in the album for right now, but in my mind I might try to put a burnish finish and a business strike in either the P and D holes ... but not really sure yet.

I like how this book is set up, it has 2 years per page, 16 coins. The insert has portraits of the presidents on one side with history facts about them on the flip side of that insert.

My album ends with George W.

I hadn't seen that thread, and for the first time I understand where Conder is coming from. My interpretation would say that if Carter is skipped (because he is still alive in mid-2014), then Carter may not be eligible to appear on the coin, even if he dies in time to otherwise be eligible under the program.

But I would also say the law would most likely be renewed/amended to put Carter on a coin in that case.

Thank for the link to the old thread. Very interesting information.

I guess Dansco will make out selling update pages when this series is over.

Good question! Reagan would be 2016 no matter what. But is there a date on there for Carter? That would be bad karma, for the lack of a better word.

I didn't buy the 8185 With Proofs (2012-2016) album. I figured it would all be resolved by the time I needed it. Maybe not.

I'm going to wait until the end (or towards the end) of the program to choose the Dansco I want.
And my collecting decisions (P & D....Proof....Satins....biz. strikes, etc.) may have changed by then as well ! ....
I might want all of them by then ! ...

I just looked at the Dansco again .. I just got this book .. I think last Monday.

And I noticed poor Jerry Ford .. doesn't have a date on his slots .. seems like they would have corrected that by now.
