Anyone going to buy one of these? Looks like you can now buy them from the mint...  Expand your coin cover collection with a brand new series! The American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series will showcase the new Presidential $1 Coins! Beginning the series is the 2007 George Washington $1 Coin Cover. This limited-edition cover—only 50,000 will be produced—features two George Washington $1 Coins from the first day of production, November 9, 2006 (Philadelphia), and November 28, 2006 (Denver). Each cover includes two $1 coins, one each from the United States Mint facilities at Philadelphia and Denver, on a handsome display card with the 39-cent United States Lady Liberty and Flag postage stamp. Additionally, the cover features a portrait of our first President in front of an American flag. The postmark of February 15, 2007, Mount Vernon, VA, marks the day the George Washington $1 Coins were first released to the Federal Reserve Bank and to the public. Edited by Tpatna

I Don't think so. thought about it but I know my dad bought 5 of the 2000 Sacs and they have not gone up om value much and I really think these might do the same. the only thought I had is with this beening a smaller mintage for the coin covers of only 50,000 it might go up alittle but I don't have a extra 15.00 dollar right now. that is a Franklin half dollar for my set and I feel that is a beter investment then this cover at this time. but do think the price is far since they did make a smaller intage this time. |

at least you get 2 coins for $15, we only get 1 and our last one was only a 20c piece  |

And maybe you will get one without the edge inscription. They do look nice.
They would make for an interesting series of PNCs, unlike most that are a one off theme.

I wonder if these coins are handled in a special way for these First Day Coin Covers ? If these coins are hand selected, maybe they will be a high MS with few contact marks...?

Sorry there not for me, however there are people who collect only these and as for special treatment I'm not sure.

I am not interested in paying 15 dollars for 2 dollars, plus a few dollars for shipping.  Edited by Spider5689

Wish I'd been able to find info on older FD coin covers with initial and current selling prices - but I couldn't. So, given how quickly these are selling I DID place order. Website says backordered though, so will just have to wait and see if I receive them. Are these going to be offered for every Presidential $ coin issued?

I agree with justmy2centsworth, There is no published documentation on the values of the FD Coin covers. You would think seeing it is a product of the US Mint that it would at least be listed in the Red Book... |
