The United States Mint is honoring our Nation’s Presidents, in the
order that they served, by issuing $1 circulating coins with their
images on the obverse. Each Chief Executive is featured in an
individual card holding the proof version of the Presidential $1 Coin
honoring his presidency. These pocket-sized cards are perfect for
introducing a young person to the hobby or for the experienced
numismatist to begin a new collection.
An image of 8th President of the United States, Martin
Van Buren, appears on the obverse of this proof coin and the reverse
features a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. This coin also
features edge incused inscriptions of the year, “E Pluribus Unum, ”
“In God We Trust, ” and the mint mark.
The size, weight and metal composition of the Presidential $1 Coins
are identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar. Each coin is
mounted in an individual protective, rotatable blister; edge-incused
inscriptions on the coins are fully visible.

Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson!
