Description

The 2010 (P) Satin Finish Presidential Dollar - Millard Fillmore, Position A is a special strike dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 583,897 examples, making this the lowest mintage among 40 mint variants, representing only less than 1% of total production. 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 thirteenth President (1850–1853), Millard Fillmore assumed office after Zachary Taylor's death and signed the Compromise of 1850 in an attempt to hold the nation together over the slavery question. He was the last president who was neither a Democrat nor a Republican. Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and Lincoln were honored. The Lincoln dollar drew strong collector interest due to the president's enduring popularity, but overall circulation demand continued to decline. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Auction record: $525 SP69 06-30-2011 eBay. Struck in 77% copper, 12% zinc, 1% other over a pure copper core, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #417268.
