Ronald Reagan Coins Available Now!
These are exciting times for patriotic Americans who continue to honor and
revere President Ronald Reagan. February 6, 2011, will mark the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth. As we observe the Ronald Reagan Centennial, we are presented with a renewed opportunity to celebrate his ideals, recognize his achievements, and preserve his legacy. About the Artist Elizabeth Jones When President Reagan appointed Elizabeth Jones Chief Engraver of the United States Mint in 1981, she was already revered as one of the world's finest medallic sculptors. Ever since her days as an art student in Rome, she had devoted her talent to bas relief sculpture for medals and Coins. After completing her studies at Rome's unique Scuola dell'Arte della Medaglia, a school inside the Italian mint, the young American artist went on to win numerous prestigious commissions for her spirited medallic portraits. And by 1972, she was named Sculptor of the Year by the American Numismatic Society. During her ten years at the U.S. Mint, Elizabeth Jones's coins gained further recognition for their beauty. Her distinctive designs included the only three US coins to ever win the International Medallion of the Year Award. To honor Ronald Reagan during his centennial celebration, Eagle Publishing has partnered with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation to introduce a stunning tribute to the 40th President of the United States. The Ronald Reagan "Great Moments" Commemorative Coins are heirloom-quality commemoratives that memorialize two of Reagan's greatest achievements... On the morning of his inauguration, Ronald Wilson Reagan addressed a nation shadowed by inflation, heavy taxes, and self-destructive foreign policies. And, as he foretold the bright future he would bring to America, sunlight burst through the dark clouds above. In June of 1987, President Reagan stood before the Brandenburg Gate. There he challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to end the tyranny symbolized by the Berlin Wall. Two years later, crumbled by Reagan's firm policy, this wall - and the Communist regime it stood for - came tumbling down. These prophetic occasions represent two of the great triumphs of Ronald Reagan's presidency - as well as his insight into men's hearts ... his great vision ... his strength. And now they lend their splendor to a very special series of collectibles that honor the legacy of this great American - The Ronald Reagan "Great Moments" Commemorative Coins. Elizabeth Jones - the renowned artist Reagan appointed Chief Engraver of the United States Mint - was commissioned to design the Ronald Reagan "Great Moments" Commemorative Coins. Jones designed these Coins in the fresh, spirited style Reagan especially admired. In the striking bas relief portraits sculpted for the face of the Inauguration Medallion, Jones captured the glory of Ronald Reagan's first inauguration. Featuring both President and Mrs. Reagan in their jubilant ride down Pennsylvania Avenue, the Inauguration Medallion honors the new hope the Reagans brought to the White House on February 20, 1981. A phrase made famous by Ronald Reagan later in his Presidency, - "It's morning in America" - are engraved on the Inauguration Medallion to recall the optimism our nation shared on that historic day and throughout his presidency. President Reagan's bold challenge, "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down this Wall" graces the Berlin Wall Medallion. Jones captured the drama of Reagan's resounding admonition to Mikhail Gorbachev at the Brandenburg Gate section of the Berlin Wall in West Germany on June 12, 1987. The Berlin Wall Medallion is a stunning tribute to the leader of the free world who brought down Communism and ended the Cold War. To grace the back of both Coins, Jones rendered a sculpt inspired by the U.S presidential Seal in splendid detail. The dates of Reagan's presidency and the silver content have also been engraved on the back of each medallion. And every nuance of Jones's art has been perfectly preserved throughout this important first edition. These flawless, proof-quality silver Coins are truly worthy of the great man they honor. As impressive in size as in beauty, each medallion measures a full 1.85 inches in diameter and is cast in one full troy ounce of .999 pure silver. Each medallion is double-struck for maximum sharpness and detail. Enclosed in a special presentation case, this is the perfect gift for the American who reveres President Ronald Reagan. This is a treasure of lasting value. And it is certain to be prized by knowledgeable collectors. For each medallion is proof-quality, meeting the highest numismatic standards ... double struck for exceptional clarity and detail ... with the distinctive reeded edge that marks the most desirable Coins. Packaged in a protective clear plastic capsule, and untouched except by gloved hands, your Coins will hold their radiance and luster forever. And, I know you'll agree, works that capture the legacy of the Reagan presidency so well will be wonderful treasures to pass on to your children and grandchildren someday. But to fully appreciate the impressive size, beauty, and radiance of these brilliant silver Coins, you really need to see them for yourself. Please note: This is a strictly limited first edition. And only 5,000 of each design of the two Coins will be issued worldwide. So it is essential that you place your order now. http://www.hebookservice.com/product...?prod_cd=c7423 |

The man simply served as one of our presidents as have many before him. He had his good points and his bad points, as did most other presidents. I would "honor and revere" John Wayne before I would Reagan. |

Nevertheless, I stand by my original assessment of his presidency - especially the last few Alzheimer years when Nancy took over while Ronnie was busy smearing his feces on the wall of the Oval Office. Doesn't anybody remember Iran-Contra and the huge budget deficits he ran up? |

Doesn't anybody remember Iran-Contra and the huge budget deficits he ran up? Some people here have already accused Beanie of being RF and I was far from certain as there seemed to be a bit of softness in the character of Beanie that you'd never accuse RF of having. But a great antipathy towards Reagan was one of the hallmarks of RF and so MAYBE Beanie is RF IF RF has had some sort of a small stroke or something to take the edge off of him. The ability to remember a small Executive-branch pecadillo like Iran- Contra places you in an exceedingly small group of haters with long memories over nothing much. There's been so much worse, before and since. oly |
