I've seen it offered on TV from a private mint. Don't remember the name but I do think they were all silver and very expensive.
Terry did you buy that one from the TV?

I have seen them on ebay. Putting him on a real coin would add many more collectors to this hobby. I think he would be a good replacement for Kennedy on the half. |

I've heard that some people are pushing for a Reagan dime, I believe that in order for a change in coinage, such as a Reagan dime, an act of Congress would first be required.
We are living in politically charged times, much more so than in years past. I don't think a "Reagan Dime Act" could make it through Congress. If the bill were somehow to pass the House, Democrats in the Senate would filibuster, if necessary, to deny "the Gipper" this high honor. Don't forget, too, that the icon of the Deomocratic Party, FDR, would be removed from the dime to make room for Reagan, and you can bet they won't stand for that either.

Any idea what the back looks like?
If this medalion is the same size as a dime. is it legal? It would be like making a silver slug (fake coin) that is worth more than the origional.
Reagan, always gave me the impression that He knew his limitations. He let others make the right choices and was the "Actor" front man that could sell it to the American people. He could read a script well and present it well but He let the experts write it. I never got the impression He was a great leader but that he could get others to follow him.
It's a very nice portrait of him. I'll look forward to seeing him on an official Dollar coin in the future.

There was talk of replacing FDR with Reagan, but the proposal fell flat.
I read that even Mrs. Reagan didn't feel her husband should replace one of the nation's most famous Presidents.

toast, The back is struck just like the dime now in circulation. I don't know how many of these were made. I haven't found to many after doing a search. They come with a certif of authenticity, whatever thats worth.  They might have some collecting value in the future,just being an oddity and a one time issue.As far as Ronald Regan himself,I liked the man.What you seen is what you got. Edited by TLS5933

Thanks, for the info and photo. So this is a bullion medalion (as it isn't legal tender, not having the "ONE DIME") What is the weight of this piece? Was this an official permitted production? How does this piece not cross the line for what could be called a forgery of US currency or a breach of copyright of the reverse 1946 design of John R Sinnock's dime? Edited by toast
