Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States. He was born November 23rd, 1804 and died October 8th, 1869. To date, Pierce is the only President to hail from New Hampshire. One of his greatest accomplishments while in office was the Gadsden Purchase, which is modern-day Southern Arizona and part of New Mexico. Pierce served the majority of his term without a Vice Present, as his VP died shortly after taking office.
The historic Presidential Dollar series began in 2007 with coins for George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. This is the FIRST coin program in U.S. History to honor all of America's Presidents, and it is destined to be the most popular collection in history, even BIGGER and more popular than the State Quarters!
