About three minutes of that was walking to/from the bedroom to get the security code for my credit card, which I thought they stored, but apparently they don't. At least I remembered to check the "I accept these terms ..." box before clicking the "Confirm Order" button this time!! Maybe by the time the Reagan set comes out next year I'll remember to have the CC handy ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics Â* Â* Â* Â*email: P. O.

LBJ Coin & Chronicles Set
Reportedly sold out at 3:57 PM Eastern time, so the 25,000 sets
were sold within four hours. Seems odd that it took that long given the less-than-a-half-hour sellouts of the Truman/Eisenhower sets with a mintage only slightly lower at 17,000 ... Oh, well, at least it looks like I'll be able to make a profit on these sets, but only expect to break even or lose a little bit on the Kennedy sets ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics * * * *email: P. O.

Back in the day we read that the program would stop with the last deceased President before the first still living President. That would be Ford since Carter is still alive. Jerry |

Back in the day we read that the program would stop with the last deceased President before the first still living President. That would be Ford since Carter is still alive. According to the Mint website, the 2016 Prezibux will be: # 2016 # 37 Richard M. Nixon 1969-1974 # 38 Gerald Ford 1974-1977 # 40 Ronald Reagan 1981-1989 IIRC, the original legislation indicated that the series stopped [or was temporarily suspended, I ferget which] when they ran up to a living or less-than-two-years deceased president. But in 2015 the Mint apparently "reinterpreted" the legislation so that Reagan could be honored in 2016, skipping over Carter entirely, or relegating him to a future year. Reagan is the only one currently planned to have a Reverse Proof dollar in a 2016 "Coin and Chronicles" set ... I don't know why Tricky Dick and Oopsie Gerry are not being so honored ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics * * * *email: P. O.

But in 2015 the Mint apparently "reinterpreted" the legislation so that Reagan could be honored in 2016, skipping over Carter entirely, or relegating him to a future year. The law specified: "The issuance of coins under this subsection shall terminate when each President has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E), and may not be resumed except by an Act of Congress." Paragraph (2)(E) is: "No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President." The interpretation that the program would stop with the *first* President for whom a coin would not be issued due to paragraph (2)(E) was simply wrong. Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan are in line to have coins issued in 2016. A coin will not be issued for Carter due to the restriction to deceased Presidents. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
