Effective February 12, 2007
Background
Beginning in 2007, the U.S. Mint will produce a series of circulating one-dollar coins to honor each of the American presidents. The coins will be issued in the order in which the Presidents served. Four Presidential coins will be issued each year until the series is completed. The first coin, the Washington $1, is expected to be released on February 15, 2007. Each of the Presidential coins features an edge incused with the mottoes “E Pluribus Unum”, “In God We trust”, the date and the mintmark.
Innovations and Options
PCGS offers a variety of new innovations and options for this exciting series. Innovations include a new, three-prong gasket that will afford a clear view of the edge of the coins, where the incuse date and mintmark will be located. Options include colorful, collectible inserts and a First Day of Issue option. PCGS offers the following guidance for submissions of the new Presidential $1 coins:
- Tri-View (TM) Gasket (standard). All Presidential Dollars will be holdered with a new, three-pronged gasket. The coins will be oriented in the gasket so that the date and mintmark are clearly visible.
- First Day of Issue (optional). Presidential coins delivered to PCGS on the first official day of their release or sent in sealed packages postmarked on that date will qualify for a special First Day of Issue designation.
- Custom Inserts (optional). PCGS offers custom-designed, colorful inserts to form a collectible subset of the Presidential coin series.
Submission Requirements
Single Presidential Coins may be submitted under any service level. These coins will bear the regular blue PCGS insert and are ineligible for either the First Day of Issue or the Custom inserts.
First Day of Issue and Custom Inserts are only available through the PCGS Bulk Submissions program. Each order must contain a minimum of 100 coins. All bulk orders should be submitted directly to the PCGS offices and cannot be accepted at shows.
