John Adams Golden Dollars May 17th

I know my bank has them in there valult and with have them on the 17th for people to get. So I will be getting mine the next few days.

Got two rolls of Philadelphia Adams dollars on my lunch today. I opened my one roll and checked them out. I only had a few minutes to look at them but overall I think this coin is person looks a lot better than the pictures of it do (the design on John Adams).

The quality of coins seems to be the same. The obverse of just about every coin has very noticable scratches, lines and dings. I do not know if they are more noticable because they are gold, but it sure makes it challenging to find a good looking coin.

I picked up two "D" rolls of the Adams Dollar this morning.

I'll put one roll away, and give individual coins from the other roll to our kids, grandkids, and friends. The left overs will be fun to spend.

I caled some banks and went to a few as well in person today with no luck. I got LeAnn to be so nice and get me some. Thanks LeAnn!

A very interesting tidbit that I read regarding President John Adams:

Adams, the 2nd President, & Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President, had been political rivals.They had rekindled their friendship through correspondence after they both had left the presidency. Adams vowed to survive until the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

At the age of 92 (some say 90), on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1826, he died in Quincy, Mass. Before he died, he whispered his last words: "Thomas Jefferson survives." Adams was unaware that Jefferson, his great political rival — and later friend and correspondent — had ironically died a few hours earlier on that very same day at Monticello.

Sure did not take long for an error to be found.

Not to mention that in the auction picture he placed the washington dollar on top of a stack of Sacs. All to confuse the buyer into thinking your getting something else.
