2009 United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Proof Set (PD6)

The 2009 United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Proof Set is the third annual set of an exciting series honoring past Presidents of the United States in the order in which they served. The 2009 Presidential $1 Coins feature Presidents William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor with a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty on the reverse. These 2009 coins feature large, dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting or issuance, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the mint mark. IN GOD WE TRUST appears on the face of the coin starting this year.

United States Mint proof coins are extraordinarily brilliant, with sharp relief and a mirror-like background. Their frosted, sculpted foregrounds give them a special cameo effect. Proof blanks are specially treated, polished and cleaned to ensure high quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice to ensure sharp relief. The coins are then packaged in presentation cases to showcase and maintain their exceptional finish.

This set not only makes a great gift but is also an enduring reminder of our Nation’s history. These four coins are the third in a series and were minted in 2009.
