January 20, 1981 was an historic day – that was the inspiration of two counterstamped coins – one planned and the other done at the spur of the moment. That is the beauty of counterstamps – they can go from conception to production in a matter of weeks. Ronald Reagan had won election as the 40th President, carrying 44 states with 489 electoral votes to 49 electoral votes for President Jimmy Carter (representing six states and Washington D.C.).
The planned issue was produced on brilliant uncirculated 1776-1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollars, that were stamped with “RONALD W. REAGAN INAUGURATED 40TH PRESIDENT JANUARY 20, 1981” and the initials “SNW – MRW” (Shari Nan Wacks and Mel Roy Wacks), plus a meticulously rendered portrayal of the White House by Adam Cool. Records indicate that 500 were made on 40% silver coins and at least 150 on clad dollars.
