$2.44 to buy, worth a $1 at face value. The grift that keeps on grifting. Wonder what it costs to make?

    That's pretty normal when you're buying small amounts directly from the mint. You really only do that when you are looking to collect, and intend to hold them in mint condition until the value is increased from rarity years down the line.

    This isn't particularly special other than the fact that the Mint is barred by law from making coins for living presidents. Well, until now of course because of Trump's massively inflated ego, complete lack of self awareness, and ignoring laws.

    They’re actually not barred by law.

    The law prohibits putting a living person on paper currency, and another law prohibits putting a living person on the reverse side of coins. Nothing about the obverse side. It’s only tradition to not put a living person on coins.

    Calvin Coolidge appeared on the Sesquicentennial half dollar while he was president.

    Ohh I don’t doubt it one bit, but he just went on a rant about how we had to get rid of the penny because it cost too much to make…curious which one it is here lol

    After the "national emergency," the yokels will think they're worth thousands.
