2009-S William Harrison (1841) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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.

2009-S John Tyler (1841-1845) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } Tyler was the first president to succeed to office following the death of the incumbent.

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.

2010-S Franklin Pierce (1853-1857) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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 (1857-1861) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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 PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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.

2011-S Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } He became POTUS following his highly successful role as a war general in the second half of the Civil War.

2012-S Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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 PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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.

2012-S Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } Harrison, a Republican, was elected to the presidency in 1888, defeating the Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland. His administration is remembered most for economic legislation, including the McKinley Tariff and the Sherman Antitrust Act, and for annual federal spending that reached one billion dollars for the first time. Democrats attacked the "Billion Dollar Congress." 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 (1893-1897) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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 (1901-1909) Presidential Dollar PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } 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 PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 } Rapid economic growth marked McKinley’s presidency. He promoted the 1897 Dingley Tariff to protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition, and in 1900, he secured the passage of the Gold Standard Act. 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.
