Presidential $1 Coins made their debut in 2007 and have honored deceased Presidents of the United States in the order in which they served. The dollars were issued at a rate of four per year until this year, which saw the final three issues commemorating Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and now Ronald Reagan.

Designs on Ronald Reagan Presidential Dollars

The obverse (heads side) of the new coin presents a likeness of President Reagan. It was selected from among 8 candidates with the winning design unveiled on Feb. 6, the 105th anniversary of Reagan’s birth.

United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Artist Richard Masters designed the portrait with sculpting completed by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna. "RONALD REAGAN," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "40th PRESIDENT," and "1981-1989" can be seen inscribed around the portrait.

All coins of the series bear the same reverse showcasing a likeness of the Statue of Liberty. Designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart, the reverse also includes the inscriptions of "$1" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

Reverses of Presidential $1 Coins
Reverses of all Presidential dollars feature the Statue of Liberty with surrounding inscriptions of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. They also share edge letterings of E PLURIBUS UNUM, the year of issue, and a mint mark denoting where they were made.

The year of minting or issuance, the mint mark, and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the coin’s edge.

Coin specifications include a composition of 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel. Weighing 8.1 grams, each has a diameter of 26.49 mm, or 1.043 inches, and a thickness of 2.0 mm.

These products feature packaging that includes the president’s name, the mint of origin and the total face value of the contents. Found inside are circulating-quality coins from the Philadelphia or Denver Mints. The coins, of course, have never been actually placed into circulation.

Ordering

Reagan dollars are available directly from the U.S. Mint’s online catalog, right here. Orders may also be placed by calling 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).

There is no pre-announced product or ordering limits. The U.S. Mint strikes dollar coins earlier in the year based on expected demand. Mintages of Ronald Reagan Presidential $1 Coins are 4.48 million from Denver and 6.02 million from Philadelphia for a combined 10.5 million.

In 2007, the First Spouse Gold Coin Program debuted alongside the $1 coins series. The U.S. Mint on Friday also released 2016 Nancy Reagan First Spouse Gold Coins. These coins, struck in one-half ounce of .9999 fine 24k gold, are available in collector qualities of proof and uncirculated.

No $1 Coins for Living Presidents

The Presidential $1 Coin Act (Public Law 109-145), which authorized the dollars, dictates that a President may not be honored in the series unless deceased for at least two years. As such, former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and current President Barack Obama are not included in the program.

Sharon Scott –
You can go to eBay and try to sell them there but you will not get much. I saw some there, that came from US Mint rolls, for $2.99 each plus the shipping cost.
