• In 2007, the U.S. Mint introduced the Presidential Dollars series.
• The coins celebrate each non-living U.S. President on a unique golden Dollar coin.
• The Presidential Dollars are issued in the order in which the Presidents served.
• Each coin is a legal tender Dollar coin struck at the U.S. Mint.
• Each coin will be issued one-at-a-time, so the minting schedule for each coin is limited to only about three months before production starts on the next coin.
• This set features the third Presidential Dollar, issued in 2007 for Thomas Jefferson, the third President.
• Before becoming President, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and was John Adams’ VP.
• As President, he secured the Louisiana Purchase and commissioned the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the West.
• The coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and is richly layered in pure 24 karat gold.
• The gold layering is done privately, as the U.S. Mint does not have the capacity to layer coins.
• Just a tiny fraction of all Presidential Dollars will be layered in gold for this collection.
• In addition to the coin, the set includes a historic U.S. stamp featuring Thomas Jefferson.
• The stamp was issued on January 12, 1968, and is in original Mint condition.
• Similar 24K gold plated coin and stamp sets will be created for each Presidential Dollar in the series.
• The set comes in a custom display wallet with details of Jefferson’s life, as well as a Certificate of Authenticity.
• There is one coin and one stamp in the collection. The coin is composed of .770 copper, .070 manganese, and .040 nickel, then layered in pure 24 karat gold.
