Presidential Coin Appraisal

Andrew Jackson Presidential Dollar Coin

The item is a circular metallic coin, likely a U.S. Presidential Dollar, featuring the portrait of Andrew Jackson. The coin appears to be made of a golden-colored alloy, characteristic of the manganese brass cladding used on these dollar coins. The obverse prominently displays a bust of Andrew Jackson, facing slightly to his left. Above his head, the inscription "ANDREW JACKSON" is clearly visible. Below his portrait, the words "7TH PRESIDENT" are inscribed, followed by the years "1829-1837," indicating his term as president. The coin exhibits a reeded edge, though this is not clearly visible in the provided image. The surface shows some signs of wear and handling, including minor scratches and possibly some loss of its original luster, suggesting it might have been in circulation. There are no obvious signs of severe damage, such as dents or deformations, or repairs. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard mint quality for circulating currency. The design elements are crisp and well-defined, indicating good striking. Given the historical period associated with Andrew Jackson's presidency (1829-1837) and the style of the coin, it is identified as a modern commemorative or circulating currency coin rather than a period piece from the 19th century. Its golden hue suggests it is from the Presidential Dollar series which commenced in 2007. The overall condition appears to be 'good' to 'very good' for a circulating coin.
