Description

The 2010 (D) Presidential Dollar - Franklin Pierce, Position B represents a Denver Mint issue from the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series. The U.S. Mint's 38.4 million total for the 2010 (D) Franklin Pierce dollar counts both edge orientations combined, so the number with the Position B edge is unknown. The obverse features rotating portraits of each U.S. president in order of service, released four per year and the reverse displays the Statue of Liberty. The fourteenth President (1853–1857), Franklin Pierce is the only president to have recited his inaugural address entirely from memory. His signing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 inflamed sectional tensions over slavery and contributed to the bloodshed of "Bleeding Kansas." Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and Lincoln were honored. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Struck in 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #417251.
