Copper-nickle one dollar coins plated in gold wash honoring all of the deceased U.S. Presidents from George Washington to Ronald Reagan. Here in Palm Coast, Florida we have yet to see any One Dollar coins, maybe they are only sold to coin collectors at least double face value?

From 1872 up to 1902 officers in the army wore shoulder knots on their dress uniforms, however generals were not authorized to wear them and had to wear a gold bullion epaulet on each shoulder, who would suggest to General Sheridan to not wear them? Generals got away with what they wore, obviously in old photographs.

These coins may or may not have been struck? We do not know their sizes nor if they are real silver and gold or plated? We cannot find them here in Florida banks. They would make great medals that say "Thank you for serving!"
