[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 2421326, member: 5787"]Some interesting facts about the dead president cover series. (1) Truman is now selling for over $100 despite its slow sellout. (2) Truman was the first sell out since Abraham Lincoln, which took its time to reach its sellout. You can still buy a Lincoln for less than $20 on the bay. (3) Eisenhower followed the Truman sellout in one of the most telegraphed values of the past year from the mint. It is now selling for $60 (three times the sales price). (4) The mint is still showing the 2009 dead presidents for sale on its website despite not showing any sales for quite some time. I've asked for updated sales figures from the mint, but got no response. (5) The 1st term Cleveland is not an easy one to find as it isn't shown on the page with the rest of the dead presidents. If you search for Cleveland P52, you can find the younger version of the old geezer. (6) The next sellout will probably be either Grant (less than 2,000 left) or Johnson (about 2,500 left). If history is worth anything, only Johnson with the lower mintage will give any value. (7) Reagan will probably create some interest in this series and lead to the sellout of Johnson. (8) The mint will probably set a target of 35,000 for Reagan (my wild guess), which is 20,000 more than Truman, Eisenhower, and Johnson.[/QUOTE]
