Does anyone have any idea of the purchase price of the new Presidential dollars? I received a flier in the mail today from fleetwood offering the Hail to the Chief collection Each panel has the Philadelphia and Denver coin in a sleeve and fter purchasing 5 sleeves you get a free album! I think they as usual are overpriced but I am interested in your thoughts Here is the link to their "deal" http://www.unicover.com/SBS_47GV.HTMoh don't forget to check out the "deluxe album with subscription http://www.unicover.com/EF3RHUYG.HTMrggoodie

I subscribed to something similar to this, except it was each President on postage stamps, as well as a first day cover.
I can't remember the price, but it was attractive, and I still get the album out and look at it from time to time.
It wasn't from Fleetwood, but looks similar to what they are offering.

How about holding on to that flier and also checking out other deals that you may prefer better?  |

$20 per Page? Thats over $800 for the set!
No thanks.
I think I'll just get the new Dansco for the series that will have the same picture and info as those cards. You collect the coins yourself but the total price will be about $65 when your done.

With this price, why not just get the silver proof version? At least, there are some real silver in them!  |

I think he was suggesting that you just get Presidential dollars from a "fresh" roll at the bank. Get all 43 dollars and add on a dasco album you will get roughly $65. Thats my best guess, anyways. But I think I will just get a full roll of each and skip the album for now. |

I could be wrong, but I don't think getting the coins from banks will be a problem.

I'm like others I will get rolls from the bank and not buy from some telemarketers that quadruple the price because of the fancy advertising and the fancy paper and cardboard containers they put them in. Actually doesn't add any value in saving them.
Distributed through Banks and Other Financial Institutions
The United States Mint and the Federal Reserve System are working in partnership to make it easy for businesses and members of the general public to obtain the new coins as they are released. The Presidential $1 Coins will be shipped to banks and other financial institutions in rolls, unmixed with other dollar coins. For each new design, banks may order and store the coins up to two weeks prior to the introduction so they will have supplies on hand on the release date. The coins will be available in unmixed rolls for four weeks after the introduction of each design. When each new Presidential $1 Coin is released, the special ordering process begins again.

I saw that Brent-Krueger will be selling them at $2.45. I came across it when looking for coin software. There is also a nice write up and release schedule in there. I think the link is way down on the left side of the page. I know nothing about the company, and I don't think it states what condition the coins will be in, but if you can't buy a roll from a bank, it sure is better than $20......

I dunno ... When I bought rolls of Sacs from the banks, I couldn't find one single coin that was clean enough to put in my collection. Way too many bag marks to suit my taste. I'd bet the President dollars will be the same way, unless you get the mint sets or proof sets. |

From what I see, mint sells 25 coin roll for 35.50 for the current golden dollar pre mint mark with 10 dollar prtenium. If you are going to only keep one or two, you will pay $5 to 6 a pop. If that is the case, going to a local coin shop and paying $3 dollar a pop is a good deal.

38 coins from the bank for $38. The full retail price of the Dansco is $27.95. Total $65.95 You can usually find the Dansco for less than full price and you can pay more for the coins by pulling them from mint sets. Either way your gonna beat the $800 plus price by far. I really doubt that Fleetwood is pulling their coins from mint sets. |

So far the Silver President dollar coins are a no go, and I doubt Congress will act in time to make them a reality. |
