Today's dollar has the same value as three cents from 1913. Now, we're putting Abe Lincoln on "the dollar" coin.

I see where this is going.

...O boy!...another pot metal coin from the Mint...file this effort under DUD! along with the Susan B Anthony and Sacagewea(sp?)dollar coin failures...if they had made the Lincoln it out of silver, it would be a sell out....but noooo!

They did a silver Lincoln bicentennial dollar and it was a sellout. Nice looking coin, too.

This is part of the Presidential Dollar series (4 a year every year in order of presidency).

...RayBob, I heard a rumor that the Mint can’t keep up with demand for silver coins; so they have suspended sales...is this true or just urban legand...if it’s true, then what does that say about the public’s confidence in paper dollars? WOW!

They can't keep up with demand for silver American Eagle bullion coins. Last year they nixed the proof version. They have one this year.

Best buys are 90% silver coins (pre 1964) available at any coin shop if you want to own silver as a hedge. Dealers are buying it at 10-12 x face, but selling it for more....

Everything else aside...with the government running a $1.5 trillion deficit this year alone, why the hell is the Mint wasting money producing this unnecessary coin? Dammit...STOP ALL FRIVILOUS SPENDING, RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

They need to think about returning to some sort of gold or even a combined gold/silver standard. That would put an end to the 24/7 printing press at the mint.

There is already Lincoln penny and Lincoln $5 bill.

Should have been a piece of currency with Ronald Reagan.

It's coming out along with the Herman Goring and Leon Trotsky dollars.

Reagan's time is coming. I suspect Reagan with his patriotic respect for American heroes would be a big fan of coin honoring Lincoln.
