Introducing the American Presidents Collection
A Magnificent Collection Of
America’s Commanders in Chief
|
| |
Ever since George Washington took the first Oath of Office in 1789, the President of the United States has symbolized the Founding Fathers’ ideals of freedom and liberty. And for more than 200 years, the United States Postal Service has honored the great Presidents on a series of postage stamps … and the United States Mint has celebrated each President on an official Presidential Medal.
Now, for the first time in history, 25 remarkable Presidential stamps have been preserved forever in solid silver ingots layered with pure 24-karat gold. They are paired
with privately layered 24-karat gold official Presidential medals
to create a unique tribute to the American Presidents. This one-of-a-kind collection is officially licensed by the United States Postal Service and the United States Mint.
As a subscriber to the American Presidents collection, you will receive one stamp ingot and the matching Presidential Medal per month until your collection is complete. To assure the highest quality and collector value, only 17,500 complete sets will be struck and certified. When the minting is complete, the master dies for the stamp ingots will be defaced and can never be used again.
Each delivery is accompanied by a Fact Card with details about the original stamp, the Presidential Medal, and the featured President. You will also receive, at no additional cost, a beautiful lacquered wood Collector’s Chest, a jeweler’s cloth and gloves, a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, and a special hardbound book, “Portraits of the Presidents,” from the Smithsonian Institute’s National Portrait Gallery.

All of these Presidential Medals are struck in bronze by the
United States
Mint using dies made from the original engravings. Each is about the diameter of a classic U.S. $20 gold coin and weighs 20 grams before it is layered in pure 24-karat gold.

All stamp ingots are minted on mirror-polished .999 fine silver blanks that are a full 2mm thick. After each piece is struck and inspected, the delicate perforations are diamond-cut, and each piece is generously layered in 24-karat gold.
