<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 450371, member: 4626&quot;]Hmm... don&#039;t look any better or worse than the first eight ones, as far as I can tell.&nbsp; I think they look pretty good, but wouldn&#039;t go so far as to call them beautiful. This year&#039;s presidents weren&#039;t the most photogenic but that&#039;s hardly their fault; the coins depicted them as they actually looked.&nbsp; Same as next year&#039;s really.</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;ll be in the proof sets, which I get every year, so incidentally I&#039;ll get the proofs of them... I also have the album for the business strikes (just one per president, I don&#039;t bother collecting both mints).&nbsp; So I&#039;ll get them... I like this set, just for the historic value of catalogging the presidents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fun fact: This year, with the release of the Andrew Jackson dollar, Jackson joined the coin and paper club (a person who&#039;s appeared on both government issued paper currency and government issued non-commemorative coins)!&nbsp; Previously only 4 people were in it... George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin.&nbsp; This coin series will add more to the club of course... the next to join will be Ulysses S. Grant, in 2011.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
