    Does anyone have or can post images of the 2007 presidential dollar coin designs? I've heard talk of them floating around somewhere. Also, there was talk of the first lady gold coin images as well. Anyone have those?

    Thanks.

    Pick up a copy of Coin World - the first images of the First Lady designs are in the current issue.

    I can't get Coin World around where I live. I just subscribed for 3 years. So, I hope I get the issue that has those images. If not, can anyone scan those and post them. I would love to see them. Thanks.

    On the First Lady coin front (from Coin World's website)...
    "A rendition of a Draped Bust Liberty from the 1800 dime is the CCAC's choice for a 2007 .9999 fine gold coin representing Thomas Jefferson's presidency." (Marth Jefferson dies 19 years before he became President)

    Looking through the list it looks like the loser years (or winner years if no one saves them) will be 2009 and 2012 since neither of those years have any particularly notable or well liked presidents.

    Additionally, these guys:

    2016
    38. Gerald R. Ford, 1974-1977
    39. James E. Carter, Jr., 1977-1981

    2017
    41. George H.W. Bush, 1989-1993
    42. William J. Clinton, 1993-2001
    43. George W. Bush, 2001-2009
    44. Rudolph W. Giuliani, 2009-2017

    2018
    45. John E. "Jeb" Bush 2017-


    will have to die 2 years before their coin is due to appear or die in such a manner that the law is changed to make sure they get on the coin; since the law requires 2 years between a President's passing and their appearance on this series of coins. Ford is a near certainty for the series, since he is ancient (is he now the oldest ever ex-President? if not he is very close) and it is certainly possible for Carter and Bush I to pass away in the next 9 years, although it seems unlikely since both have always been healthy and active. Beyond that the only one with a shot is Clinton since he takes the least best care of his body and has the poorest health history of the remaining guys, barring something catastrophic.

    It certainly could be 2 years (I was working from memory), I'll see if I can find the bill....

    yep it is 2 years, I will edit my former post...(as I think "in the future look it up first...")

    Actually according to the passed legislation, the former president has to have been dead for at least 2 years when his turn comes up to be depicted in the series. So 2016 will likely finish the series... of course that depends on the lifespans of the currently living former presidents. It's quite likely Ford will qualify... he will be turning 93 on July 10 (if he lives 2 months past that, he'll beat Reagan's record as longest living president). Carter and Bush Sr. are in their 80's. Clinton hasn't even turned 60 yet. So 2016 and 2017 are still uncertain currently.

    Ronald Reagan was 93 years and about 2 months old when he died in 2004; he's the current record holder for the longest living former president. Gerald Ford's 93rd birtday will be July 10 of this year, if he lives for more than 2 months past that he will beat Reagan's record.

    Right, but that's the schedule if the 'requirements' are met. :)

    I kind of like the scroll format on the Madison one myself.

    All the designs will be pedestrian, uninspired, almost certainly fugly depictions of the presidents. Just like the less than stellar states quarters fiasco, and the atrocious nickels, not to mention the b.s. bill that put jefferson back on the nickel, instead of something fresh. The mint is now just a stagnant pool of politicism and cares not about the medallic arts. I myself am imposing a self boycott of all crappy mint issues to include overpriced proof sets and other commemorative garbage.

    If the Mint had the power to enact legislation, I might go along with that, but until the Constitution changes, legislation is passed by the House and Senate, and signed by the President; or vetoed by the President and re-pased by 2/3 majorities of the House and Senate. Either way, the Mnt Director's hands are tied by the politicians.:rolleyes:

    To an extent I readily agree with that. But when it comes to design - then the mint has a say. The mint determines what the design will look like, what the relief will be, how and where the legends will be placed. There is a lot that is open to interpretation for the mint and its employees.

    The CCAC - Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, and the FAC - Fine Arts Commission both review designs submitted to them by the US Mint and offer their opinions on the submitted designs, but the two committees rarely agree on design selection. Neither do they have authority to obligate the mint to follow their suggestions.

    So - in the end, it is the US Mint that determines the design of US coinage as long as they follow the written description as prescribed by law. And yes it is the SecTreas who has the final say, but I do not know of even a single example where he has overuled the mint's submittal for final approval.
