His administration was largely characterized by the economic hardship of his time, the Panic of 1837. He was scapegoated for the depression and called "Martin Van Ruin" by his political opponents. He was voted out of office after just one term.

2009-S William Harrison (1841) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) William Henry Harrison was the last president to be born before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and was to oldest person to be inaugurated as president until Ronald Reagan in 1981. His was also the shortest presidency, dying of complications from pneumonia on his 32nd day in office, no doubt brought on by his longest ever inaugural address in bone-chilling weather. His death sparked a brief constitutional crisis, but that crisis ultimately resolved many questions about presidential succession left unanswered by the Constitution until passage of the 25th Amendment. He was the first president to die in office, and his term began the first of twenty year curses for those presidents winning office in a year evenly divisible by 20, a curse not broken until again Ronald Reagan who won in 1980 (and was shot but not killed).

2009-S John Tyler (1841-1845) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) Tyler was the first president to succeed to office following the death of the incumbent. The two had campaigned with the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!" In office, he managed to alienate both the Democrats and his own Whig party, and failed to get the nomination for a second term. He dedicated the last half of his term in office to the annexation of Texas, which would eventually be signed by his successor. The era of the great leaders in the Oval Office that had graced the inception of this country was over, but there would be others that would step up from time to time. In the beginning, it was politics that had held us together. Now, it was becoming clear that politics would become what would try to drive us apart.

2009-S James Polk (1845-1849) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) Polk was the last strong pre–Civil War president, and he is the earliest of whom there are surviving photographs taken during a term in office. He is noted for his foreign policy successes. He threatened war with Britain over the issue of which nation owned the Oregon Country, then backed away and split the ownership of the region with Britain. When Mexico rejected American annexation of Texas, Polk led the nation to a sweeping victory in the Mexican-American War, which gave the United States most of its present Southwest. As he had promised, he served just one term. He died three months after leaving office of cholera.

He was also the last sitting president to own slaves. He died, in office, of what is thought to be gastroenteritis.

2010-S Franklin Pierce Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } First Strike (Apr'2013) 14th President (1853-1857)
2010-S Franklin Pierce (1853-1857) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) As president, he made many divisive decisions which were widely criticized and earned him a reputation as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. Pierce's popularity in the Northern states declined sharply after he supported the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which replaced the Missouri Compromise and renewed debate over the expansion of slavery in the American West. He was a northerner with southern sympathies, and once these became known his reputation was irreversibly damaged. He is the only president to come from New Hampshire (if you don't count Josiah Edward "Jed" Bartlet) whose party abandoned him after his first term in office.

2010-S James Buchanan Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } First Strike (Apr'2013) 15th President (1857-1861)
2010-S James Buchanan (1857-1861) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) He is the only president from Pennsylvania and the only president who remained a lifelong bachelor. During Pierce's term he served in London as a minister to the Court of St. James' and therefore was not caught up in the crossfire of sectional politics that dominated the country. Buchanan was viewed by many as a compromise between the two sides of the slavery question. Like Pierce, he was considered a "doughface", a northerner with southern sympathies. Buchanan's efforts to maintain peace between the North and the South alienated both sides, and the Southern states declared their secession in the prologue to the American Civil War. Historians have argued that his failure to deal with secession the worst presidential mistake ever made.

2010-S Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) Without a doubt, this man is one example, albeit the most extreme example, of the good fortune this country has had of having the right man in the oval office at the right time. There were others before him and since, but he alone stands head and shoulders above the others for the daily turmoil endured, not just in dealing in matters of state, but in his personal life as well. His Gettysburg Address, terse by standards of the day, is hailed as the model of great oratory. He guided this country through the Civil War and held the nation together. He was the second consecutive president to die in office, victim of the "twenty-year curse", having been elected in a year evenly divisible by twenty.

A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded. The new president favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union. His plans did not give protection to the former slaves, and he came into conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. The first American president to be impeached, he was acquitted in the Senate by one vote.

There were those close to Lincoln who complained to him about the General's heavy drinking, to which he is supposed to have replied, "Well find out what he's drinking, and give a case of it to each of my other generals!" Grant's two consecutive terms as President stabilized the nation after the American Civil War and during the turbulent Reconstruction period that followed.

2012-S Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Jul'2013) Becoming President after the assassination of President James A. Garfield, Arthur struggled to overcome suspicions due to his beginnings as a politician from the New York City Republican machine, succeeding at that task by embracing the cause of civil service reform. His advocacy and then enforcement of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was the centerpiece of his administration. Suffering from poor health, Arthur made only a limited effort to secure renomination in 1884; he retired at the close of his term. As journalist Alexander McClure would later write, "No man ever entered the Presidency so profoundly and widely distrusted as Chester Alan Arthur, and no one ever retired ... more generally respected, alike by political friend and foe."

2012-S Grover Cleveland (1885-1889) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Jul'2013) Cleveland was the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffs, Free Silver, inflation, imperialism and subsidies to business, farmers or veterans. His battles for political reform and fiscal conservatism made him an icon for American conservatives of the era. Cleveland won praise for his honesty, independence, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. Cleveland relentlessly fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism. Indeed, as a reformer his prestige was so strong that the reform wing of the Republican Party, called "Mugwumps", largely bolted the GOP ticket and swung to his support in 1884.

They used the issue, along with the growing unpopularity of the high tariff, to defeat the Republicans, in both the 1890 mid-term elections and in Harrison's bid for re-election in 1892. Harrison advocated, although unsuccessfully, for federal education funding and legislation to protect voting rights for African Americans. He also saw the admittance of six states into the Union.

2012-S Grover Cleveland Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } First Strike (Apr'2013) 24th President (1893-1897)
2012-S Grover Cleveland (1893-1897) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. Cleveland is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms (1885–1889 and 1893–1897) and therefore is the only individual to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents. He was the winner of the popular vote for president three times—in 1884, 1888, and 1892—and was the only Democrat elected to the presidency in the era of Republican political domination that lasted from 1861 to 1913. Cleveland took strong positions and was heavily criticized. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide and angered the party in Illinois; his support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party. Furthermore, critics complained that he had little imagination and seemed overwhelmed by the nation's economic disasters—depressions and strikes—in his second term. Even so, his reputation for honesty and good character survived the troubles of his second term. Biographer Allan Nevins wrote: "in Grover Cleveland the greatness lies in typical rather than unusual qualities. He had no endowments that thousands of men do not have. He possessed honesty, courage, firmness, independence, and common sense. But he possessed them to a degree other men do not."

2013-S Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } First Strike (Apr'2013) 26th President (1901-1909)
2013-S Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (May'2014) Roosevelt became President after McKinley was assassinated. He was inaugurated at age 42, the youngest person to become president. He attempted to move the GOP toward Progressivism, including trust busting and increased regulation of businesses. In November 1904 he was reelected in a landslide against conservative Democrat Alton Brooks Parker. Roosevelt called his domestic policies a "Square Deal", promising a fair deal to the average citizen while breaking up monopolistic corporations, holding down railroad rates, and guaranteeing pure food and drugs. He was the first president to speak out on conservation, and he greatly expanded the system of national parks and national forests. By 1907 he propounded more radical reforms, which were blocked by the conservative Republicans in Congress. His foreign policy focused on the Caribbean, where he built the Panama Canal and guarded its approaches. There were no wars, but his slogan, "Speak softly and carry a big stick" was underscored by sending the greatly expanded Navy—the Great White Fleet—on a world tour. He negotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese War, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He is one of four presidents featured on Mount Rushmore.

2013-S William McKinley (1897-1901) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (Apr'2013) Rapid economic growth marked McKinley’s presidency.

McKinley hoped to persuade Spain to grant independence to rebellious Cuba without conflict, but when negotiation failed, he led the nation in the Spanish–American War of 1898; the U.S. victory was quick and decisive. As part of the peace settlement, Spain turned over to the United States its main overseas colonies of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines; Cuba was promised independence, but at that time remained under the control of the U.S. Army. The United States annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 and it became a U.S. territory. Six months into his second term McKinley was assassinated.

2013-S Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) Presidential Dollar PR69DCAM { PCGS-4 } (May'2014) In his first term as President, Wilson persuaded a Democratic Congress to pass a legislative agenda that few presidents have equaled, remaining unmatched up until the New Deal in 1933. This agenda included the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an income tax. Child labor was curtailed by the Keating–Owen Act of 1916, but the U.S. Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1918. Wilson also had Congress pass the Adamson Act, which imposed an 8-hour workday for railroads. He narrowly won a second term, winning with the slogan "He kept us out of war." Unrestricted German submarine attacks however would soon draw the United States into World War I. For his sponsorship of the League of Nations, Wilson was awarded the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize.

Ill-advised loyalties resulted in his eventual resignation once the Watergate Coverup surfaced, compounded by tapes he had made to assist in his memoirs.

In his final debate with Mondale during his re-election campaign, he won the debate before it started declaring, “Age will not be an issue in this election. I will not hold my opponent’s youth or inexperience against him!” Even the Iran- Contra scandal didn’t stick to the “Teflon President”.
