Thanks for the link.
When is the series due to end?
Most of the later Presidents are probably still alive,
so I guess they won't get their pics on the coins.

The Mint is saying at the moment that the series will end in 2016 with Gerald Ford, so there will only be two more coins after 2015. They won't skip over Jimmy Carter, who's still alive and cannot be dead for the required two years before he can appear in his turn on a coin, for Ronald Reagan.

Thanks John. Hopefully they will catch up on Reagan and some others in the future some time.

There will be a Reagan coin:

There will also be a coin for Nancy Reagan. She has the chance to be the only First Spouse honored with a gold coin who is alive when it is issued.

That is good news about the Reagan coin.

Wonder what they could put into a Coin and Chronicles Set for him in 2016.

It has been a good theme I first started with the State Quarters moved to the Presidents, Any news on what the circulated sets will contain instead of the Pres, but I guess it's a bit early yet, the Dansco has provisions at least for the next lot, I will have to keep my eyes open & not miss them.

I'm guessing the number of coins in the uncirculated and proof sets will be reduced by four in 2017. The Native American dollar is already in there, and it doesn't seem reasonable for Congress to authorize additional circulating dollar coins that no one wants, but I've been wrong before. We'll have to wait and see if anything happens two years after the next former President passes away.

I buy the uncirculated sets P&D so dropping 8 coins from those sets there would have to be some reduction in price & they are still only $US27.95, so just dropping them face value would be under $US20.00
They will have to put something else in there to make them attractive.

I'm afraid content doesn't necessarily relate to pricing. People will buy them no matter what's in there, and the ATB quarters will be around for a few more years.
