    I know they had a 5, 25, and 2000 not sure if they ever did a 1. Littleton sells a Presidential Dollar with a colorized front of him as well. Didn't find a whole lot else for a 1 on google

    Well that and the price as we all know the cheap packaging adds extreme value that someone has to pay for lol.

    Lol very true. Every now and then they knock it out of the park with the packaging but overall I would rather just get it in an airtight and not charge me for the bells and whistles of a box

    Yup, wish I took a screen snap shot of it. It's gone ... haven't seen it since. So I can't find it even when I search for something I'm not exactly sure what it was. LOL.

    I did look at it thinking to myself "is that legal ?"
    I'm going to guess it wasn't and they were told by a friendly nudge from the gov't.


    maybe the Russians minted it ...

    Most of the modern coin offerings from many mints around the world today have contrived scarcity written all over them. Who can blame them? It works. And they have to stay in business or at least justify their funding levles. It's the way it is. If you don't like it, don't play the game. If you do, well then hopefully you're at least having fun.

    The Mint, I suspect, does think I'm stupid.

    However, I'm not stupid enough to buy the junk they turn out in assembly line fashion.:confused:

    The mint probably thinks we are stupid, but the reason for the 2 or 3 options on the coins in the set is some collectors only assemble OGP products (3 coin set in this example). They consider the Mintage numbers of the set, not the total mintage for the coin. So the grading companies do special labels stating "Set"

    They are the Trump Silver 1ozt rounds by Norfed and they have a disclaimer saying not to be used as currency on them.

    I'm not trying to make a political comment. But I think I found what Clawcoins is looking for:

    IMO they're just overwrought/contrived bullion rounds: https://www.trumpdollar.us/2017-trump-dollar/

    desertgem, if this violates any rules or causes political squabbling, please remove it. I'm not trying to cause trouble here.

    It could have been. It was mentioned earlier.
    I should have done a snapshot of the page but didn't.
    The "DOLLAR" identification is misleading if anything.
