The 2016 (S) Reverse Proof Presidential Dollar - Ronald Reagan is a reverse proof dollar struck at the San Francisco Mint, part of the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series. With a mintage of 47,448, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 16 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 fortieth President (1981–1989), Ronald Reagan was a former Hollywood actor who championed tax cuts, deregulation, and a military buildup credited with helping end the Cold War. He survived an assassination attempt in 1981. Nixon, Ford, and Reagan were released — only three coins this year, as George H.W. Bush was still living and program rules excluded living presidents. This reverse proof features an inverted finish from traditional proofs — frosted fields with mirror-like design elements — creating a striking visual contrast that has become increasingly popular with collectors. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $73 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #616185.
