Thread: Collecting Presidential Coins

Not collecting rolls, just singles, which are tough to find since no one uses them. Collecting them with my six year old son in order to learn the presidents. Also, speculating a little by putting away a few of the satin finish ones found only in mint sets, they look close to what a matte proof would look like and are by far the lowest mintage of the presidents. Looks like in the future, based on the lack of demand for commerce, the only rolls you'll be able to get will be from the mint at a premium, the way they sell the Kennedy's. When/if that happens, the mintage should be a lot lower than they are for those already released. Of course, if we'd do what Canada did, stop making the paper dollar, we'd all use the coins and mintages would remain and go higher.

Yeah, there are a few of us 'nut' prsidentials dollars collectors out there. I be one. I started collecting "mint wrappped" rolls of P & D back in 2007. I get one of each for every president.

To be honest, I don't think these coins will every be worth a good deal of money. They are just producing too many of them. There are plenty of 100 year old coins that have minimal value because of how many still exist. These coins will always been neat, but will never be valuable.

I have a P & D coin for each in a Lighthouse album, and I have one bank (not mint) roll for each, but I'm missing Monroe. Anyone have an extra Monroe roll to trade????

If I ever need money and need to sell some of the coin collection, the rolls of the presidents will be the first to go. I don't anticipate them ever having a significant premium for them. But, They are current and fun.

This is the way to go. Get a Dansco, fill it with the best examples you can find. Don't worry about the 'Position A' and 'Position B'...just get the best examples you can. I would see about putting in a blank page for the proof and satin finish coins also. You can get all this done for about the cost of just your P mint rolls by buying one U.S Mint set (has all P & D mint SF coins), one U.S. Proof set (has the proof dollars...don't need the silver set as these aren't in silver).

For the non Satin Finish, get in the First Day coin cover....$14.95 each. For the year, you would get Dansco quality coins for both mints for the cost of one and a half D mint presidential rolls (yeah, shipping ups that, but you would solve your problem, and by not having all those rolls, you'd actually be ahead of the game).

This WAS the way to go if you want all of those extra coins. I don't really need them for that so I collect the P&D Presidential sets that the Mint produces every year, you get the satin finish coins (satin finish dollars are not exclusive to mint sets) and you get all of the issues without anything extra.

Since the rumor is that the mint will be ending the satin finish this year ..the point is now moot. I'll still get the mint issued set though. It's convenient and cost effective compared to any of the alternatives. I don't want full rolls and I want choice coins with a lower percentage of bag marks.
