I went to my bank today to pick up my order made last week of $1,000 of new John Adams Dollar Coins. The bank said that they were sent plain used dollar coins & they couldn't order the new ones, which I know is not true. Arrgghhh!

I got two rolls. Most are pretty beat up. Adams looks like a pig

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.

The picture in that auction is of a Washington Dollar...

A lot of the "errors" listed on ebay are just BS so far. Personally my quest as begun to find a MS70 dollar. A perfect condition dollar will be worth heads and tails above what an error dollar would be.

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.

That's an Adam's dollar, Washington dollars have the PRes. facing left, Adams is facing right. You can see it in the second picture.
