Thanks Mike for writing these great articles!! I have been following the presidential dollar mintages to see if they start to surge with the last bunch of presidents coming out. I think Kennedy and Reagan could be very popular. Although the mintages are kind of high at 8 million, buying them at the mint price of $1.10 each seems like a bet with a low downside and possibly an upside.

Hi Boz, my 2¢: The series from its outset has intended a coin for every president who’s no longer living, regardless of their politics or historical importance. Unfortunately it’s now into the modern era where many people remember those presidents and everybody has an opinion.

If they were individual commemoratives authorized one at a time I’d absolutely argue for running them through a historical filter. Buchanan was a fool who set the stage for the Civil War, Harding was a corrupt womanizer, and Tricky Dicky, well … But the criterion was solely “former president, no longer living” which perversely lets Abraham Lincoln and William Henry Harrison stand on the same rung.

I still have trouble wrapping my mind around Truman having a coin although both his predecessor FDR and his successor IKE have or will have multiple coins of various types.
