The set includes one uncirculated James Garfield Presidential Dollar and one Lucretia Garfield First Spouse Bronze Medal. The $1 coin features a portrait of the president on the obverse and an image of the Statue of Liberty on the reverse. The bronze medal is based on the design for the separately issued 22 karat gold coin featuring a portrait of the First Lady on the obverse and a scene of her painting on the reverse.
The coin and medal are mounted on a durable plastic card containing the images of the president and first lady on the front and issuance information as well as a certificate of authenticity on the back. The James Garfield Presidential $1 Coin & First Medal Set is priced at $14.95 and available for purchase online at http://catalog.usmint.gov/
The Treasury Department recently announced the suspension of production for additional Presidential $1 Coins for circulation. The US Mint facilities at Philadelphia and Denver had struck 74.2 million James Garfield $1 Coins for circulation prior to the announcement. The coins are also incorporated into various numismatic offerings such as the $1 coin and medal set, a first day coin cover released next week, numismatic rolls, and various uncirculated and proof sets.
James Garfield Presidential $1 coins entered circulation on November 17, 2011, the same day the United States Mint and the National Park Service hosted a launch ceremony at the James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio. Two weeks later, on December 1, 2011, the Mint released the collector Lucretia Garfield Bronze Medal and her 24-karat gold coins.
Four Presidential $1 Coin and First Spouse Medal Sets were scheduled this year, with the Garfield set becoming the last one. The Johnson $1 and medal set launched on May 10, the Grant set was released on July 7 and the Hayes’ set debuted most recently on September 22. All four of the 2010 sets, honoring Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln, also remain available from the United States Mint. Their price is $11.95.
