While there likely won’t be any Ronald Reagan coin until 2016, when the Presidential $1 Coin series is slated to honor the Gipper, there are calls in Congress for Reagan to appear on the $50 bill.
North Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry has proposed the United States replace Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill with the image of Ronald Reagan, who was president from 1981 to 1989.
While it may be like moving mountains to replace the long-standing $50 bill portrait of Grant, it won’t be an impossible task — many have been calling for Reagan to appear on our money ever since he died in 2004.
However, Grant has his supporters, too. Grant was a great war general who helped the Union win the Civil War in 1865; he became president in 1869 and was in the White House until 1877.
Will we be seeing Reagan’s face on the $50 bill anytime soon? Who knows, but be sure to stay tuned to what happens with the President Ronald Reagan $50 Bill Act.

ok here what i found out after many diffrent opinions on coin values. i e-mailed numismedia asking about the difrence in value from there fair market value guide and pcgs/ngc value guides.
will turns out the fairmarket value is for raw coins in that grade. one has to subscripe to there on line dealers value guide to get currant values on pcgs or ngc graded coins. now i did that and the dealers value guide is show wholesale values for pcgs and ngc graded coins. still quite a big diffrence in value .
i look up fgor exp a 1997 pr-70dcam as that is one i am looking at.
pcgs value is $1300.00
Numismedia FMV-$325.00 raw
dearler whole sale $500.00
most likely you will not get this coin for 500
so guess you just have to pick a middle ground to find retail.
