No matter if you live in a ‘Red’ or ‘Blue’ State, we all witnessed Presidential history being made this past November. On January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn is as the 44th President of the United States. Such a historic event deserves a historic “First Ever” legal tender coin collection to commemorate it for future generations. In that spirit, we present the Barack Obama ‘Change’ Collection – a set containing four legal tender US coins in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, and each enhanced in full color to create a first ever commemorative collection.
Included are:
A genuine Washington Golden Presidential Dollar bearing the likeness of the "First African American President". The Washington Dollar is no longer being struck by the US Mint, adding to its collector demand and popularity.
Symbolism abounds on the JFK Half Dollar - Kennedy's own daughter and his brother Senator Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama calling him the candidate who embodies the kind of change JFK represented. Obama is the first person since Kennedy to go straight from the Senate to the Oval Office. Time and again, Obama invokes JFK's mantra of "The Promise of Change."
The Illinois State Quarter features Abraham Lincoln on the reverse. Barack Obama announced his candidacy near the spot where Lincoln once called on a divided house to stand together. The image of the Lincoln Memorial appears over Obama’s right shoulder.
Released the day before Election Day, the Hawaii State Quarter is the last quarter in the 50 State Quarter series. Hawaii is the birthplace of Barack Obama, born August 4th, 1961.
