Has there been a Rosalynn Carter First spouse 1/2 ounce gold released?

Many good points, a few I would concur with. For certain a Presidential dollar coin with a better than average chance for the Chronicles set. As to the matter of Franklin Roosevelt(dime) and John F. Kennedy (half), they were still sitting Presidents at the time of their passing, albeit from different circumstances. So these were Congressional legislation and signed by the incoming President. Would this still occur today with the Presidential Coin Program's law in place? Hard to say. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon

Again and again NO The "Golden" Presidential dollar and the First Spouse Gold Bullion coin were mandated by law. PUBLIC LAW 109-145—DEC. 22, 2005 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg...9publ145.pdfQuote:
'(8) TERMINATION OF PROGRAM.—The issuance of coins
under this subsection shall terminate when each President
has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E), and may
not be resumed except by an Act of Congress. (emphasis added) Quote:
(2)(E) LIMITATION IN SERIES TO DECEASED PRESIDENTS.—
No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image
of a living former or current President, or of any deceased
former President during the 2-year period following the
date of the death of that President. When they arrived at Ronald in 2016, the remaining ex-presidents (Carter, HW Bush, Clinton, W Bush, and Obama) were still alive and the program was terminated. After the death of HW Bush, a new law, Public Law No: 116-112 https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th...ill/457/textwas passed to mint them in 2019. Similar legislative action will be required to mint a coin for Jimmy Carter in 2027. Could the new law waive the 2-year requirement? Sure, but ... A new law could even make the extension of the program automatic... a law can say just about anything. -----Burton 50 year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, OnLine Coin Club Owned by four cats and a wife of 40 years (joined 1983) |

There will most certainly be a dollar coin.
There will also be a two year wait. Precedents are difficult to change and there is no real hurry. If they wait until the other 2 drop off, they can mint all 3 dollar coins...

Given that Carter died towards the very end of 2024.
Do you think the coin will dated 2026 or 2027 if a bill was passed to issue a President Dollar coin?

2027. To issue a coin in 2026 "2 years after" wouldn't allow more than a few weeks on-sale.
But of course, it's actually up to the idiots in Congress to write and pass a bill...

and with all the potential hoopla going on for the semiquincentennial, it would make more sense to drop it in 2027.

If they do the C&C set, it would be fun if they also issued a 2025 Susan B. Anthony coin for it. Although it being a failure, maybe not so fitting. I think having a Carter dollar along with a "Carter quarter" in a C&C set would be great.

I am not opposed to the idea. Whether it was a winner or loser, the SBA was a significant piece of numismatic legislation signed by Carter. The Reagan C&C got an ASE for that reason. Maybe we can finally get a silver SBA?  |
