2015-P John F. Kennedy總統美元

《總統美元硬幣法》（公法109-145）於2005年12月22日通過了法律。該法案迫使財政部長分別紀念國家過去的總統及其配偶，以提高1美元的幣的流通，並創建新的Bullion Coin”。

The Presidential Dollar Coin Act (Public Law 109-145) was passed into law on December 22, 2005. The Act compelled the Secretary of the Treasury to “mint coins in commemoration of each of the Nation’s past Presidents and their spouses, respectively, to improve circulation of the $1 coin, [and] to create a new bullion coin”. The architects of the law, citing the success of the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program (31 U.S.C. 5112(l)), believed that the introduction of regularly changing designs would radically increase demand for a $1 coin, which despite early signs of consumer interest, had failed to achieve widespread use after its debut in 2000.

《總統美元硬幣法》（公法109-145）於2005年12月22日通過了法律。該法案迫使財政部長分別紀念國家過去的總統及其配偶，以提高1美元的幣的流通，並創建新的Bullion Coin”。法律的建築師援引50個州紀念硬幣計劃的成功（31 USC 5112（L））認為，儘管引入定期變化的設計將從根本上增加對1美元的硬幣的需求，儘管消費者的早期跡象跡象表現出了1美元的跡象，但在2000年在2000年首次亮相後仍未實現廣泛使用。

The first four Presidential Dollar designs debuted in 2007, but–like the Sacagawea Dollar that preceded them–the coins found little public support in commerce. In 2011, the United States Mint curtailed the production of the Presidential (and Native American) dollar coins and began to strike them solely for the purpose of selling them to collectors.

前四個總統美元設計於2007年首次亮相，但就像在他們之前的薩卡加威爾美元一樣 - 硬幣幾乎沒有公眾的支持。 2011年，美國造幣廠削減了總統（和美國原住民）美元硬幣的生產，並開始僅出於將其出售給收藏家而罷工。

The 2015-P John F. Kennedy Presidential Dollar is the third of four Presidential $1 coins issued that year.

2015-P John F. Kennedy總統美元是當年發行的四個總統$ 1硬幣中的第三個。

The coin was struck as a numismatic collectible and not produced in quantity for circulation. Demand for the popular president elevated the mintage figures for this issue over that of the other 2015 releases.

該硬幣被擊中是一種計算收藏品，而不是在循環數量中產生的。對大眾總統的需求提高了此問題的鑄幣數字，而不是2015年的其他版本。

The Mint sold the issue in Mint sets, special Presidential Dollar sets, bags, and rolls. As each of these items was sold at a premium over face value, any release of this issue into circulation would be purposeful on part of a collector, or incidental on the part of someone who had been given one as a gift or who had some other reason for spending them.

薄荷以薄荷套裝，特殊的總統美元套裝，袋子和卷賣出了問題。由於這些物品中的每一個都以優於面值出售，因此該問題的任何發行者都將是有目的的，或者是收藏家的一部分，或者是被送給一份禮物或有其他理由花費它們的人的偶然性。

The typical example as struck would fall between the grades MS63 to MS66 if grading standards were strictly enforced. PCGS and NGC graded a considerable number of Presidential Dollars for modern coin marketers during the series’ nine-year run. By 2015, collector enthusiasm for Presidential Dollars had waned and even though Kennedy was a popularly remembered president, submission numbers for uncirculated dollars paled in comparison to earlier Presidential Dollar releases, especially the Missing Edge Lettering mint errors that escaped the Mint in large quantity in the first year of the series.

如果嚴格執行分級標準，則構成的典型例子將介於MS63至MS66級之間。在系列九年的運行中，PCG和NGC為現代硬幣營銷商的總統美元分為大量。到2015年，對總統美元的收藏家熱情已經減少，儘管肯尼迪是一位備受紀念的總統，但與早期總統美元發行的票據相比，未流通的美元的提交數字，尤其是涉及系列第一年中大量薄荷的失踪邊緣刻字薄荷錯誤。

Both PCGS and NGC report examples at MS68. PCGS, which has graded fewer examples, reports 10 in the grade at the time of this writing and distinguishes the edge lettering orientation – a minor detail, in our opinion. NGC reports 101 grading events at the MS68 level. At MS68, expect dealers to ask between $350 and $500 for an example. At MS67, coins are much more affordably priced at between $25 and $30. Is this a reasonable price to pay for a not-intended for circulation coin with a $1 face value and nine million examples struck? That all depends on your collecting goals.

PCG和NGC在MS68上報告了示例。 PCG的示例較少的PCG報告在撰寫本文時報告了10年級，並區分了邊緣字體方向 - 我們認為這是一個較小的細節。 NGC在MS68級別報告了101個分級事件。在MS68，期望經銷商向示例詢問350美元至500美元。在MS67時，硬幣的價格在25至30美元之間。這是一個合理的代價，用於支付1美元的面值和900萬個例子的不間斷的流通硬幣嗎？這一切都取決於您的收集目標。

Time will prove whether the “golden dollar” alloy holds up well or not. Any human contact and environmental exposure will hasten the appearance of tarnish. Some may tone in attractive ways, but this is not typical. At the very least, an encapsulated example is preserved to some degree. If your goal is to complete a set, we would recommend certified for preservation and raw 2015-P Kennedy Dollars in rolls or flips if affordability is the deciding factor. The going rate for a loose coin is about $3.50.

時間將證明“黃金美元”合金是否持有良好。任何人類的接觸和環境暴露都會加快tarnish的外觀。有些人可能會以有吸引力的方式進行調整，但這並不是典型的。至少，在某種程度上保留了一個封裝的示例。如果您的目標是完成一套，我們建議通過可負擔性是決定性因素進行保存和RAW 2015-P肯尼迪獎金或翻轉的認證。鬆散硬幣的運行速度約為3.50美元。

Obverse:

ververse：

Inspired by Aaron Shikler’s Official Presidential Portrait of John F. Kennedy, Don Everhart’s obverse for the Kennedy $1 coin offers up an unusual and somber image of the slain President. On the coin, Kennedy looks downward and to the left. The muscles on his face appear strained, as if he is deep in thought. Kennedy’s hair is neatly groomed, his part is accentuated. His coat is form-fitting. The designer’s initials DE are located on Kennedy’s left shoulder. The coin’s inscriptions wrap around the rim of the coin and read: JOHN F. KENNEDY, IN GOD WE TRUST, 35th PRESIDENT, and 1961-1963.

受亞倫·舒克勒（Aaron Shikler）的正式總統肖像約翰·肯尼迪（John F.在硬幣上，肯尼迪向下看向左側。他臉上的肌肉似乎很緊張，好像他深深地思考。肯尼迪的頭髮整齊地修飾，他的角色突出了。他的外套是合身的。設計師的縮寫DE位於肯尼迪的左肩上。硬幣的銘文圍繞著硬幣的邊緣，並閱讀：約翰·肯尼迪（John F. Kennedy），《我們信任的上帝》，第35位總統和1961 - 1963年。
