2010 Presidential $1 Coin Proof Set - Click to Enlarge
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint announced today that it will begin accepting orders for its 2010 Presidential $1 Coin Proof Set on February 11, 2010, at noon Eastern Time.
The set contains four proof versions of the circulating Presidential $1 Coins scheduled to be released this year, bearing the portraits of Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln.
Each coin has a common reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty.

A frosted, sculpted foreground gives the proof coin a special "cameo" effect. The "S" mint mark, representing production at the United States Mint at San Francisco, is inscribed on the edge of each coin. [click to continue…]
