Presidential Dollars Zachary Taylor 2009-D 25 pcs (Roll)

Viewed as a national hero after his efforts in the Mexican-American War, Zachary Taylor had gained many supporters. It would be because of these supporters that Taylor was voted into the White House in 1849. Being the 12th president of the United States, Taylor offered the country a security that many presidents couldn't afford. Taylor's resume reads more of a military general than a politician, which is why it is so surprising he ever entered into the White House. Since his day of birth, Taylor never stayed in one place for too long. Being born into generations of Virginian planters, Taylor's family swiftly moved to Kentucky after his birth. At the ripe age of 16, Taylor began his career in the Army, impressing his superiors with his work ethic and bravery. Although he was born in the South, Taylor's main presidential goal was to uphold the Union. He only served as president for a year and a half before he died.

Zachary Taylor is featured on the obverse of the 2009-D Presidential Dollars. Sharing the date with William Henry Harrison, John Tyler and James K. Polk, Taylor's portrait portrays him as young and well-groomed; two adjectives that wouldn't describe the way he looks as president. Taylor's dates in office are inscribed below his portrait. The reverse reveals a close-up view of the Statue of Liberty, with the coin's tender value. The Presidential Dollars' metallic composition depart from the easy fall-back of nickel and copper. Instead, their golden hue is a result of the copper and brass metals used to form the coins. These brilliant uncirculated dollars come in rolls of 25, from the mint, and carry the "D" mint-mark for the Denver Mint. It also cannot be guaranteed that this roll will come in original packaging.
