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.

The coin is slightly larger than a quarter and is made of manganese brass with a gold-colored finish, not actual gold. I musta have missed this post when I posted this: Quote:
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.
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.

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 a 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. Edited by Boba Debt

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

If the Mint were to produce any gold coin with the size and content of the $1 gold coins made in the 1800's, it' s likely it would be sold by the Mint at a price relative to the current value of 1.50 grams of gold. That said, the announcement by Secretary Bessent regarding a "new $1 gold coin" is erroneous as what will be produced is merely "golden" in color. |

The Mint could take a simple step to celebrate the 250th and show its appreciation to its customers by including one of these Trump clad dollars in every Proof Set in a small plastic sleeve. . .as they did in 2019 with the "W" Cent and the 2020 "W" Nickel.
Given the steep price increase for the set, they can certainly afford it.

At this point, It really has nothing to do with politics, but common sense and actually trying to be a good human being. When you are someone who is gender-diverse, like me, perhaps you'd understand more the association of discrimination and hate touted at every end from Trump, his administration, and the majority of his supporters. So, given that, if you were someone in my shoes, tell me, would you be happy to celebrate this and see Trump spouting about "freedom, and values for all," despite his very apparent lack of showing he actually stands for this? I think not. Quote:

And, Humanist1287, I'm not in your shoes, but I believe a POTUS should represent ALL citizens, not only those who support him. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This escalated quickly and therefore I'm going to hit the pause button and lock the thread for now. I appreciate the restraint shown by folks to keep CCF focused on numismatics.
