Andrew Johnson Coin Appraisal

2011 Andrew Johnson Presidential US $1 Coin

This item is a United States Presidential $1 Coin featuring the likeness of Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States. The coin is part of the Presidential $1 Coin Program, specifically issued in 2011. It is composed of a manganese-brass alloy over a pure copper core, giving it a distinctive golden-yellow hue. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Andrew Johnson by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart, with the inscriptions 'ANDREW JOHNSON', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', '17TH PRESIDENT', and the dates of his term '1865-1869'. The coin's edge, though not visible in this top-down view, typically contains the year of minting, the mint mark (P, D, or S), and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. From the photograph, the coin appears to be in circulated condition, showing minor surface scratches, slight dulling of the original luster, and standard handling marks consistent with regular use in commerce. There are no major gouges or deformations visible. The detail in the hair and facial features remains relatively crisp, suggesting it hasn't high-wear circulation. The coin is notable for being part of the series that moved to limited production for collectors only in late 2011 due to high inventory levels at the Federal Reserve.
