I came across these 4 Presidential dollar coins and was hoping someone could enlighten me on the verbiage on what they are. Since I scanned these, they look much darker than they normally are. They are very shiny like a proof with an orange-ish layering around the profile. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe one of those "special" coins you can buy from a late night television show. Let us wait for one of the experts to help out. Report this Post to the Staff
