I'm out here and I think it was George Washington on some copper cents from the 1790's. Maybe not business strikes but used as legal tender.

This week it looks like we have two winners of the certificate for 3 FREE NGC Earlybird submissions...Wingsrule and Boiler78

 

The question:

Who was the first president to have his portrait appear on a coin while he was still living?

 

The answer:

Calvin Coolidge

(Also acceptable is George Washington because I did not specifically state that I was looking for the first president to be pictured on a regular issue US coin denomination while still living. Fair is fair - right?)

 

And now, for the results of the drawing from all the remaining contestants who answered correctly.....

 

The winner is Fairlaneman!

Your prize is "The Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties, Fourth Edition, Vol. 1"

 

Prizes will be sent out ASAP.

 

Thank you all for playing. Please stop back again on Friday for week #6.
