The third installment in the United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Series is scheduled for release today, June 10th. This new Historical Signature Series collection of products began on April 8th with the introduction of the George Washington folder. The Series highlights the 2007 Presidential $1 Coins honoring the Presidents of the United States. The Set features a proof version of the Presidential $1 Coin and a Presidential intaglio print from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The product is presented in a textured, leather-like folder which opens to reveal the intaglio print and the official Presidential signature. A Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each United States Mint Historical Signature Set.

The most current United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set – features Thomas Jefferson, and is the third in this new collection. The proof coin which is extraordinarily brilliant, has a sharp relief and a mirror-like background. The frosted, sculpted foreground gives a special cameo effect. The image of President Thomas Jefferson appears on the obverse of the coin and the reverse features a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. The Presidential $1 Coins also feature 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 new Presidential $1 Coins are identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar. Each coin is mounted in a removable capsule.

Visible from the cover of the United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Historical Signature Set is the Presidential intaglio print of Thomas Jefferson printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Opening the cover reveals the official Thomas Jefferson Presidential signature, courtesy of the White House Historical Association.

The two previous Presidential “Signature Sets” of George Washington and John Adams are still both available from the US Mint Store. Each Set, including the new Jefferson Folder costs $19.95 each.
