The South Carolina $1 Coin recognizes educator and civil rights activist Septima Poinsette Clark. The design depicts Ms. Clark marching with three young African American students who carry books and an American flag, representing that education and literacy among oppressed people are necessary for empowerment and enjoyment of civil rights. Gallery images #1 and #2 are included, other images for comparison or linked optional buys to add to your cart.
Born in 1898 in Charleston, South Carolina, Septima Clark pioneered the link between education and political organizing during the civil rights movement. Civil rights youth workers and community organizers referred to her as “Mother Conscience” and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. referred to her as “The Mother of the Movement.”
Clark believed that “knowledge could empower marginalized groups in ways that formal legal equality couldn’t.” She helped establish the first Citizenship Schools, teaching literacy and citizenship rights, and helped establish local leaders for the civil rights movement. Teaching people to read and understand the Constitution helped black citizens pass the literacy tests used to disenfranchise black voters.
The Mints release date for the #9 issue 2020 P D coins was January 19, 2021. Your 2 coins will ship within days of your PayPal payment or US Mint release date per ebay guidelines..

Heinz Joseph Gerber (1924–1996) invented the device while studying aeronautical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1945, a few years after escaping Nazi-controlled Austria with his mother. The earliest version of the variable scale had been fashioned from an elastic band removed from a pair of pajamas. Gerber created a rubber rule and scale that could flow with a curve, expand, contract, and turn a corner. It allowed for the direct numerical reading of curves, graphs, and graphical representations.
Because of its ease of use and quick solutions, the Gerber Variable Scale was a huge success, and by the 1950s, it was considered the universally accepted tool for engineers and architects all over the world.
This reverse design depicts the Gerber Variable Scale being used to increase a geometric shape by 200 percent, a shape which resembles the State of Connecticut. The inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “GERBER VARIABLE SCALE,” and “CONNECTICUT.”
The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” The obverse also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation.
The edge-incused inscriptions are “2020,” “S” mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 to June 5, 2004) was an American politician and actor, who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Prior to his presidency, he served as the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader.
Raised in a poor family in small towns of Northern Illinois, Ronald Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932 and worked as a sports announcer on several regional radio stations. After moving to Hollywood in 1937, he became an actor and starred in a few major productions. Reagan was twice elected as President of the Screen Actors Guild, the labor union for actors, where he worked to root out Communist influence. In the 1950s, he moved into television and was a motivational speaker at General Electric factories.
Having been a lifelong liberal Democrat, his views changed. He became a conservative and in 1962 switched to the Republican Party. In 1964, Reagan's speech, "A Time for Choosing," in support of Barry Goldwater's floundering presidential campaign, earned him national attention as a new conservative spokesman. Building a network of supporters, he was elected Governor of California in 1966. As governor, Reagan raised taxes, turned a state budget deficit to a surplus, challenged the protesters at the University of California, ordered National Guard troops in during a period of protest movements in 1969, and was re-elected in 1970. He twice ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nominations in 1968 and 1976; four years later, he easily won the nomination outright, going on to be elected the oldest President, defeating incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980.
Entering the presidency in 1981, Reagan implemented sweeping new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics," advocated tax rate reduction to spur economic growth, control of the money supply to curb inflation, economic deregulation, and reduction in government spending. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, escalated the War on Drugs, and fought public-sector labor. Over his two terms, his economic policies saw a reduction of inflation from 12.5% to 4.4%, and an average annual growth of real GDP of 3.44%; while Reagan did enact cuts in domestic discretionary spending, increased military spending contributed to increased federal outlays overall, even after adjustment for inflation.
During his reelection bid, Reagan campaigned on the notion that it was "Morning in America," winning a landslide in 1984 with the largest electoral college victory in history. Foreign affairs dominated his second term, including ending of the Cold War, the bombing of Libya, and the Iran Contra affair. Publicly describing the Soviet Union as an "evil empire," he transitioned Cold War policy from détente to rollback, by escalating anarms race with the USSR while engaging in talks with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, which culminated in the INF Treaty, shrinking both countries' nuclear arsenals.[1] During his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, President Reagan challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall!" One and a half years after the end of his term, the Berlin Wall fell and on December 26, 1991, nearly three years after he left office, the Soviet Union collapsed.
Leaving office in 1989, Reagan held an approval rating of sixty-eight percent, matching those of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and later Bill Clinton, as the highest ratings for departing presidents in the modern era.[2] While having planned an active post-presidency, in 1994 Reagan disclosed his diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease earlier that year, appearing publicly for the last time at the funeral of Richard Nixon; he died ten years later at the age of 93. An icon among Republicans, he ranks favorably in public and critical opinion of U.S. Presidents, and his tenure constituted a realignment toward conservative policies in the United States.

WASHINGTON - The United States Mint (Mint) officially announced the designs that will appear on the 2016 Presidential $1 Coins honoring former Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford (and now Ronald Reagan).
The coins' obverses (heads side) were designed and sculpted by the following talented United States Mint Sculptor-Engravers:
Inscriptions on the obverse of each coin include the president's name, term in office, the order in which he served, and "IN GOD WE TRUST."
The coins' reverses (tails side) feature a rendition of the Statue of Liberty, also designed and sculpted by Everhart. Inscriptions on the reverse are "$1" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." The year of minting or issuance, the mint mark, and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of the coins.
Legislated by Public Law 109-145, the Presidential $1 Coin Program was limited to deceased presidents with the provision that there is at least a two-year period following the date of the death of the President before a coin can be issued. Hence, President Jimmy Carter, who is still living, is ineligible for a Presidential $1 Coin in 2016. President Reagan, the next president to serve after Carter, passed away in 2004 but an exception was now made to make him eligible to be commemorated under paragraph (2)(E).
Designs for the Ronald Reagan Presidential $1 Coin and the corresponding Nancy Reagan First Spouse Gold Coin were announced on Feb. 6, 2016, the 105th anniversary of President Reagan's birth.
The release of the Ronald Reagan Presidential $1 Coin will mark the end of the program honoring our Nation's presidents. Launched in 2007, the Presidential $1 Coin Program features coins with bold, dramatic portraits, unique edge-lettered inscriptions and a common reverse design of the iconic Statue of Liberty. Since the beginning of the program, the Mint has issued four coins annually in the order in which the presidents served in office, with three coins released in 2016.
Lyndon B. Johnson: 36th President (1963 - 1969)
Lyndon Baines Johnson was born August 27, 1908, in central Texas. He graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University-San Marcos).
Johnson successfully campaigned for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1937 where he served six years before moving on to serve 12 years in the U.S. Senate.
Johnson became the nations 37th vice president in 1961. He had held that office for less than three years, when John F. Kennedy's assassination thrust him into the presidency. During a joint session of Congress to present his plans for leading the nation after Kennedy's death, he said, “All that I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today.
During his administration, President Johnson promoted his vision of The Great Society and tackled issues such as poverty, inequality in education, voting rights and conservation. However, it was the conflict between North and South Vietnam that took center stage both at home and abroad.
Additional highlights of Johnson's presidency include:
