Sorry Raised on Rock, this is one collector who will NOT "do their best to get one." Likewise. The degradation will continue until morale improves.  |

Whatever happens, I'm ready. I have a stamp, counterstamp, and won't buy them.

Quote:There will eventually be TWO Presidential dollars for circulation, but only after he dies. Just like Grover Cleveland. One for each term. They will probably end up as NIFCs like Kennedy, Carter, etc. There may be, but it won't be automatic. The Presidential dollar series ended with Reagan. George H.W. Bush had a separate law passed to give him a dollar coin, but there hasn't been one for Carter yet. A bill was introduced last year to extend the program indefinitely with new coins within three years of the death of a president, but it hasn't gone anywhere and there isn't really much legislative time left in this Congress.

Since this will not be made of gold, just about anyone that wants one will be able to get it Coin Overview The coin celebrates the United States' 250th anniversary and features President Donald Trump on the obverse, alongside the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "1776-2026". The reverse depicts the presidential seal with "250" to mark the semiquincentennial, along with the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR". The coin is slightly larger than a quarter and is made of manganese brass with a gold-colored finish, not actual gold Production and Availability The coin is currently in production at the U.S. Mint's Philadelphia facility and is expected to be available for purchase this fall in rolls and collector bags. The Treasury has not yet announced the exact release date, pricing, or total mintage Design Highlights Obverse: Trump in a suit and tie, "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "1776-2026" Reverse: Presidential seal with "250," inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" Material: Manganese brass with gold-colored finish Size: Slightly larger than a quarter Purpose: Commemorative coin honoring American values and the Semiquincentennial  |

Boba Debt, I merged your new topic with the ongoing topic, them moved all the current stuff to its own topic since it was added to a quasi-related topic from 2018.

The U.S. Mint produced a $1 gold coin from 1849 - 1889, first with Lady Liberty and then an Indian Princess on the obverse. The coins contained approximately 1.50 grams of gold and were 13mm - 15mm in diameter, slightly smaller than a dime. Examples of the Indian Princess coin. (two separate coins)   Is this possibly what the Donald's coin will resemble in size and content ? |

Pretty silly honestly. Even if you like Trump this coin doesn't really do any celebrating of 250 years. I didn't realize the Presidential dollar series would not go on in forever. That is disappointing. I do like that series. However this will not be part of that collection so I won't get it. I suspect this will be one of those coins you get at the post office when you use there machine and that's about it. |

Thanks for Sharing, Seeing people Here are offering their opinions( seems politically motivated ) it's sad. That even on a Numismatic Coin Family Forum, Members know better and yet,...... I will offer up Mine, Being this 250th Anniversary of the Signing of The Declaration of Independence for America, That honor is fitting to celebrate for us All, Including the seated President. Had it been Any other person than The present day seated President, Maybe a quiet whisper may of been heard.  How about We all celebrate together, Looks like the coin is having No precious metal at all, Just a Landmark Anniversary Circulating coin. The Nation deserves to celebrate and Enjoy All the freedoms and opportunities of the day, And it will....... What a Great place to get away from it all, Please keep it that way, Have an Awesome year celebrating Our Wild America.... |

Fortunately, not a circulating coin, as it presently appears it will only be available from the US Mint in rolls, bags, and boxes, at a premium. Based on current prices of the same size and composition Native American dollars; they'll cost $1.52 to $2.44 for each coin, depending on whether you go for a roll of 25, a bag of 100, or a box of 250. And that doesn't include shipping for those who aren't subscribed. Like other NIFC issues, a few may appear in ciriculation. But I, for one, am pleased that that will not be common. Opposition is not political, it is patriotic. I would be opposed to my all time favorite POTUS appearing on a legal tender coin while they're still breathing air, let alone still in power.

Is this possibly what the Donald's coin will resemble in size and content ? Disappointing that it couldn't have been, say, gold plated and instead is just "gold colored" like the infamous Sacagawea "golden dollar."  |

pjmolo, an actual gold $1 coin at present gold prices would be practically microscopic.
That wouldn't suit the Donald's megalomania.

How long till someone actually gold plates the coin and sells it on an infomercial?

This coin will be minted on the Native American dollar planchette Some members have claimed that having a living President on this coin goes against "tradition" There is actually a precedent to have the President on centennial coin The 1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and featured George Washington and Calvin Coolidge, with a Liberty Bell on the reverse. There is a whole lot of political invective in this topic but I'm not surprised that it isn't being addressed. |

the coin in question is not something I would be interested in getting, but this topic has been informative and entertaining.
