Marking the sixth annual release, the 2012 Presidential $1 Coin Uncirculated Set made its debut Tuesday, May 1.
Pricing is $16.95, which is down $3 from past sets as it is one of several products to see cuts this year. It may be purchased straight from the United States Mint online store located at http://catalog.usmint.gov/.
This year’s uncirculated set includes the Presidential dollars honoring the 21st through 24th Presidents of the United States, namely: Chester Arthur for years served of 1881-1885, the first term for Grover Cleveland during years 1885-1889, Benjamin Harrison for years served between 1889-1893 and then the second term for Grover Cleveland during years 1893-1897.

Each of the sets includes a total of eight dollars — four minted at the U.S. Mint facility in Denver and the other four from the bureau’s facility in Philadelphia.
