History of the Presidential Dollar
The Presidential Dollar Series, launched in 2007, stands as one of the most largest and most educational coin programs. Created by the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, this series honored each deceased U.S. president in the order of their service, beginning with George Washington and concluding in 2016 with Ronald Reagan (a final George H. W. Bush coin followed in 2020 after his passing). Issued at four designs per year, the program offered collectors and historians alike a unique numismatic timeline of American leadership.
Each coin features a distinct presidential portrait on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing the enduring ideals of freedom and democracy. Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart designed the reverse, which remained consistent throughout the series.
The coins were minted in a golden manganese-brass alloy, giving them a rich, golden hue similar to the Sacagawea Dollar, which the series succeeded. One of its most innovative features was edge lettering, inscribed with “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, the year of issue, and the mint mark, a feature not commonly used since the early 19th century.
However, early production issues led to missing edge inscriptions, creating several error coins that became immediate attention among collectors. Though the coins were initially intended for circulation, public use remained minimal, most examples now exist in rolls, mint sets, or collector albums, as the mint ended general-circulation distribution after 2011. Despite this, the Presidential Dollar remains a popular collectible, rich in symbolism and history.
Rarest Coins in the Series
While most Presidential Dollars were produced in large numbers, a few issues and varieties stand out for their scarcity or historical significance.
- 2007 George Washington “Godless Dollar”: The most famous error in the series, this coin lacks the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” due to missing edge lettering. It quickly gained notoriety and remains highly sought after in high grades.
- 2007 John Adams Dollar (Double Edge Lettering): Some coins feature doubled inscriptions on the edge, making them distinct error varieties with notable collector demand.
- 2009 William Henry Harrison Dollar: Popular not for rarity but for historical context, as Harrison’s presidency lasted only 31 days.
- 2015 Lyndon B. Johnson Dollar: One of the final issues before the program shifted to a limited “mint-to-demand” release format, making later issues scarcer in circulation.
Error varieties such as missing inscriptions, inverted lettering, and off-center strikes can increase collector demand, particularly for coins in pristine condition or certified by grading services like PCGS and NGC.
Types of Collections
The Presidential Dollar Series offers a wide range of collecting approaches:
- Complete Date Set: A full collection from 2007–2016, encompassing all presidents from Washington to Reagan.
- Mintmark Collections: Assembling coins from all three mints, Philadelphia (P), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). Proof versions from San Francisco are especially popular for their mirror-like finishes.
- Error and Variety Sets: Collectors who specialize in error coins often target missing-edge-lettering varieties and doubled-inscription pieces.
- Thematic Sets: Some enthusiasts create custom displays pairing each coin with historical memorabilia or biographical information about the president depicted.
This diversity of collecting styles ensures that both casual and advanced collectors can find a way to participate in the series.
Beginner vs. Advanced Collecting
Beginner Collecting
For beginners, the Presidential Dollar Series is an excellent starting point. Collectors can easily assemble a complete set of 39 designs (40 including the later George H.W. Bush coin) without significant financial investment.
Advanced Collecting
Advanced collectors, on the other hand, seek out high-grade proof coins, error varieties, and first-day-issue sets. Proof coins, struck with specially polished dies, display sharp details and mirror-like fields, making them particularly appealing. Certified examples graded MS-67 or higher often sell at strong premiums, especially for the 2007 “Godless Dollar.” Building a full certified set of top-graded coins is both challenging and rewarding, combining history, art, and rarity into a comprehensive pursuit.
Investment Potential
Although not composed of precious metals, the Presidential Dollar remains appealing to collectors and investors investment potential due to its numismatic appeal, limited mintages, and unique place in American history. Special finishes, such as proof and satin issues, often attract stronger collector demand and can achieve higher secondary-market values.
For example, high-grade “Godless Dollars” and double-edge-lettering varieties have sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on condition and certification. Meanwhile, complete proof sets remain popular among collectors seeking modern historical series.
Beyond monetary gain, the Presidential Dollar value also lies in its historical, educational, and cultural significance. It serves as a miniature museum of America’s leadership, offering collectors a tangible link to every U.S. president, from the Founding Fathers to the modern age.
