Grover Cleveland Presidential Dollar (Second Term)
Grover Cleveland will be the only President honored on two different coins of the Presidential Dollar Program. The separate issues are required since he served in the White House during two non-consecutive terms.
After serving as the 22nd President from 1885-1889, Grover Cleveland lost his bid for reelection to Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland ran against Harrison again in the following election and this time prevailed. His second term from 1893-1897, was marked by the Panic of 1893 and attempts to deal with an economic depression.
The Grover Cleveland Presidential Dollar representing his second term will feature a portrait on the obverse designed and sculpted by Don Everhart. The inscriptions will include the president’s name, “In God We Trust”, “24th President”, and “1893-1897″.
Following suit with the rest of the series, the reverse design will feature an image of the Statue of Liberty designed and sculpted by Don Everhart. The inscriptions include “United States of America” and the denomination expressed as “$1″. Incuse edge lettering included on each coin will contain the date, mint mark and motto “E Pluribus Unum”.
The anticipated release date for the Grover Cleveland Dollar (second term) will be November 15, 2012. On this date, circulating quality versions of the coin are expected to be available from the United States Mint in rolls, bags, and boxes. At earlier dates throughout the year, the US Mint is expected to release various numismatic products which include the coins. Following the suspension of production for circulation, the coins will not distributed through Federal Reserve Banks and therefore will not be available at face value from local banks.
