The United States Mint has released the designs that will be used for the upcoming 2010 Presidential Dollars. Next year's coins will honor former Presidents Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Abraham Lincoln.
The obverse of each coin will feature a portrait of the President with inscriptions of the President's name, order of the Presidency, years served, and the motto "In God We Trust". The reverse of each coin will feature the rendition of the Statue of Liberty designed and sculpted by Don Everhart. Reverse inscriptions include "United States of America" and "$1". The date, mint mark, and motto "E Pluribus Unum" will appear on the edge of the coin with thirteen stars.
The highlight of next year's releases will be the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollar. Together with the newly designed 2010 Lincoln Cent, it will provide a nice capstone to the coins issued for Lincoln's Bicentennial. This year, the US Mint issued the 2009 Lincoln Cent with four different reverse designs and the 2009 Lincoln Commemorative Silver Dollar.
The US Mint line art images for each of next year's Presidential Dollars appear below, with the designers and engravers for each coin.

On a related note, I have recently updated CoinReview.com with pages for the upcoming 2010 coin releases. The site allows collectors to rate coins on the basis of coin design, historical significance, and investment potential. Collectors can also provide more detailed written reviews on these or other relevant factors. Visit Coin Review to check out some of the reviews already posted for the 2010 Lincoln Cent and 2010 Disabled Veterans Commemorative Silver Dollar.
