The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The coin's face features a distinguished portrait of Chester A. Arthur, capturing the refined dignity of the man who served as president from 1881 to 1885. The design showcases Arthur in profile, with inscriptions marking his name, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST," his presidential term dates, and the mint mark. The artistry reflects the principled character of the "Gentleman Boss," who surprised critics by championing civil service reform and ending the corrupt spoils system despite his own political machine background.

Reverse: The reverse displays the iconic Statue of Liberty in a bold, modern interpretation, symbolizing the integrity and good government principles Arthur championed during his presidency. Encircling Liberty are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "$1," creating a timeless design that honors both Arthur's commitment to reform and America's enduring democratic values.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

The Chester A. Arthur Presidential Dollar commemorates an unexpected reformer who rose above partisan politics to modernize the federal government. Arthur's signature achievement, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, established merit-based hiring and remains a cornerstone of American government today. This 2-coin set allows collectors to acquire both major mint varieties in a single purchase, making it ideal for completing Presidential Dollar collections or comparing the subtle differences between Philadelphia and Denver strikes. The Brilliant Uncirculated condition ensures these coins retain their numismatic premium and visual appeal for years to come.
