In 2005, President Bush signed the Presidential $1 Coin Act authorizing the United States Mint to strike $1 coins honoring America’s Presidents in the order in which they served. This coin, the sixth in the Presidential $1 Coin Program, honors President John Quincy Adams.

John Quincy Adams was born into politics as the son of second U.S. President John Adams and Abigail Adams. As a child, he watched the American Revolution unfold and accompanied his father on his diplomatic posts to Europe. He followed in his father’s footsteps by becoming a diplomat in Europe and, later, the sixth U.S. President. Adams became president by the slimmest of margins in a controversial election that was ultimately decided in the U.S. House of Representatives by one vote.

The John Quincy Adams Presidential $1 Coin features a likeness of Adams on the obverse and a reverse design with a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. This coin features larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year, “E Pluribus Unum,” “In God We Trust,” and the mint mark.

These John Quincy Adams Presidential $1 Coins are circulating condition coins and can be used in daily transactions. However, because these coins have never been circulated, they also make a great addition to your private collection or a wonderful gift for someone special. Add these historic coins to your collection today by ordering the 2008 John Quincy Adams Presidential $1 Coin 250-Coin Bag struck at the United States Mint at Philadelphia.
