Comment

The maximum authorized mintage for the White House Silver Dollar was set at 500,000 coins. This represented the lowest level established to date for a modern commemorative silver dollar, a fact that was highlighted within promotional materials.

A complete sell-out of the maximum authorized mintage was achieved, and the relatively low mintages drove prices higher on the secondary market. At their peak, prices had risen to four times the issue price. Prices eventually fell as the excitement faded and subsequent issues had lower mintage levels. For present-day collectors, the 1992 White House Silver Dollars are priced primarily based on the silver content.

Surcharges raised from the sale of coins were paid to the White House Endowment Fund and used to support the White House collection of fine art and furnishings as well as for the maintenance of the public rooms.

Interesting fact

The 1992 White House Bicentenary $1 coin features a unique design that showcases the South Portico of the White House, which was added to the building in 1846. This portico was designed by architect James Hoban and was intended to provide a grand entrance to the executive mansion. The coin's design captures the neoclassical style of the White House and is a beautiful representation of the building's historic architecture.
