Public to receive free Presidential Golden Dollars
Complete 2007 and 2008 Presidential Golden Dollar Sets go free to public getting remaining sealed Vault rollsThe Presidential Golden Dollar presses shut down at all U.S. Mints after only 13 weeks of minting of the Martin Van Buren Golden Dollars. This permanent halt of the Van Buren Dollars was forced by public law amidst numerous debates on Capitol Hill.
Once the presses were shut down, the Presidential Golden Dollar series changed forever. And what caused these extraordinary steps? In addition to Public Law 109-145, rare minting errors surfaced whereby the inscription “In GOD We Trust” was missing from the unique coin edging.
These few rare errors caused much public uproar and numerous accusations that the Federal Government was removing GOD from our coinage. Capitol Hill made immediate changes to the Presidential Golden Dollar program, demanding “In GOD We Trust” appear on the obverse or reverse of the coin where fewer minting errors would take place.
However misguided the accusations were, the U.S. Mint® was compelled to change the entire program going forward. As such, a rush on the old coins, including the first eight designs, has taken hold of the reserved stockpile in the private United States Commemorative Gallery vaults.
The vault doors have been opened and readers can get complete rolls of the first eight Presidential Golden Dollars.
These include:
- George Washington
- John Adams
- Thomas Jefferson
- James Madison
- James Monroe
- John Quincy Adams
- Andrew Jackson
- Martin Van Buren
The ten-coin rolls contain never-circulated, collector-grade Presidential Golden Dollar specimens.
Gallery Officials have decided to give everyone a FREE Presidential Golden Dollar with every roll, making a total of 8 FREE Presidential Golden Dollars. These FREE Coins allow you to review each of the coin designs without breaking into the sealed vault case rolls.
Metal vault cases containing the sealed rolls are being transferred from the Gallery’s private vault to a secured holding area for immediate distribution to you. Each vault case holds the eight rolls with one roll for each of the first eight designs, the first and very last designs with “In GOD We Trust” on the edges of the coins.
The condition of the never-circulated Presidential Golden Dollars is carefully verified, first and foremost. The coins are placed in individual protective tubes and sealed by vault experts trained in handling precious collectibles. The expert technicians wear white cotton gloves so each coin remains untouched by human hands.
The never-circulated Presidential Golden Dollar rolls are being released on a first-come, first-served basis for $36.95 per roll.
The Vault Case containing eight rolls will be shipped complete with 8 FREE Presidential Golden Dollar specimens.
