Owner Comments:

Presidential Dollar - 2016 S Ronald Reagan; Mintage: TBD. Ronald Wilson Reagan was born on February 6, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois. He worked his way through Eureka College and then landed a job as a radio announcer. Reagan developed an interest in acting while in college and in 1937 he landed a contract with a major studio. He appeared in more than 50 films, including training films during World War II while serving in the Army Air Corps. Reagan also had a keen interest in politics and in 1966, he successfully ran for governor of California, serving two terms. In 1976 Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter four years later, becoming the nation's 40th president on January 20, 1981. Arguably the most successful president in U.S. History, Reagan created an economic boom that continued throughout a successful Bush Administration—and forced the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall.
