    Well have just bought the following LOL

    2008 Presidential Dollar Proof Set

    Bronze Medal
    Louisa Adams
    Jefferson's Liberty
    Elizabeth Monroe
    Abigail Adams
    Andrew Jackson's Liberty

    Decided I liked the look of the medals and they were not expensive so they will compliment each other :D I wonder if I can get a Dansco for both sets (Uncirculated not the proof LOL)

    That one (bronze medal) I have too - am not interested in presidential spouses, children, pets, whatever ;) But Lady Liberty on those medals, that is a nice design.

    OT and just wandering where is the word Liberty on the Presidential dollars?

    It is represented by the Statue of Liberty. The original idea was to not make those dollar coins as verbose as the other US coins. Oh well. :rolleyes:

    From what I heard, the woman playing lady liberty was the madame for a high priced Philadelphia cathouse. The liberty cap design is based on the wife of the engraver who was angry that he was possibly seeing this woman.
