Money -> Dollars -> Presidential-2007-Now
Whether you’re new to coin collecting or you’ve been fascinated by coins for years, now is the time to invest in a John Quincy Adams dollar roll. If you have a free book offered by the US Mint to house your Presidential Dollars collection, you’ll want at least one loose John Quincy Adams dollar, but the roll is more of an investment in the coins. If you purchase a roll of each Presidential dollar released from the beginning of the program through the end in 2016 (though more presidents will be added, extending the program) you’ll have an amazing variety of dollar rolls that will look impressive in any sized collection.
The John Quincy Adams dollar roll is the latest offering in the Presidential Dollars program. Much like the 10-year 50 States Quarters Program that proved a favorite among collectors, and especially children who enjoyed collecting these coins, dollars featuring United States Presidents are released over a span of time. The 50 States Quarters were released in the order the states became part of the union; the Presidential Dollars are released in the order in which they served the country as Commander in Chief.
Coins in a John Quincy Adam dollar roll, and in all of the Presidential Dollars, are the same composition as a Sacagawea Golden Dollar. But each coin features the name and likeness of the President on the front, along with the years of his term of office, and which President he was—1st, 2nd, etc. Presidential Dollars are unique from any other US coin in the way much of the information typically found on a coin is printed on their edges instead of the face or reverse. “E Pluribus Unum,” “In God We Trust,” the mint mark and the year of the coin are now on the edge of these coins.
Also setting coins in a John Quincy Adams dollar roll and other Presidential Dollars apart from every other coin minted in the United States, the world Liberty does not appear on the reverse of the coin. An image of the Statue of Liberty stands for liberty, instead. The coins have been issued at a rate of 4 per year since 2007.
The John Quincy Adams dollar roll became available this year, in May of 2008, and is the 6th release of these dramatic and beautiful coins. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison Presidential Dollars were released in 2007, and James Monroe was the first release of 2008, followed by John Quincy Adams. Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren Dollars have also been released since then this year, with the four scheduled to be released in 2009 being the next 4 Presidents in order, Harrison, Tyler, Poke and finally Taylor. These coins are great to teach kids about our Presidents.
Your local bank should be able to supply you with a John Quincy Adams dollar roll, but auctions like eBay are great for quickly grabbing rolls of past releases. Keep the roll intact to retain all of its collector value.
