WASHINGTON - Spring has returned and so has the United States Mint's Spring Gift Catalog. Available by mail and online on April 18, the 2008 Spring Gift Catalog features the Presidential $1 Coins, the American Eagle Coins and the Bald Eagle Commemorative Coins.

"Spring is the time of rebirth and renewal," said United States Mint Director Ed Moy. "And like spring, the products offered in this catalog herald the rebirth of great coin design and a renewed sense of the American spirit."

The 2008 United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Proof SetTM, priced at $14.95, contains coins bearing the likenesses of James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. These Presidential $1 Coins -honoring the Presidents of the United States who served from 1817 to 1841-are the second series of coins released in the Presidential $1 Coin Program.

Additional Presidential $1 Coin products include the Official United States Mint Coin Album - Presidential $1 CoinsTM, priced at $11.95, and the James Madison Presidential $1 Coin Cover-part of the United States Mint Official American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series-priced at $14.95.

The 2008-dated American Eagle Gold Coin-in both the proof and the uncirculated versions-is available in one-tenth ounce, one-quarter ounce, one-half ounce and one ounce denominations. A Certificate of Authenticity, documenting the coin's specifications, is included.
Struck on specially burnished blanks, the American Eagle Uncirculated Coins feature a finish similar to their bullion counterparts, but they carry the "W" mint mark indicating their production at the United States Mint at West Point.
