Ulysses S. Grant Presidential One Dollar Coin

This item is a United States Presidential One Dollar Coin featuring the likeness of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. The coin is circular with a distinct golden hue, characteristic of the manganese-brass alloy used in the Presidential Dollar series, consisting of a copper core with a cladding of 77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese, and 4% nickel. The obverse side displays a detailed three-quarter portrait of Grant with a textured beard and hair, accompanied by the inscriptions 'ULYSSES S. GRANT' at the top, and 'IN GOD WE TRUST', '18th PRESIDENT', and '1869-1877' (his years in office) along the bottom margin. The coin appears to be in circulated condition, showing minor surface scratches, tiny rim nicks, and a slightly dull patina consistent with light handling. The edge of the coin, though not fully visible, would traditionally contain the mint year and mark. This specific series was minted by the U.S. Mint starting in 2011. While it has a brilliant gold-colored finish, it contains no actual gold metal. The craftsmanship reflects the standard high-relief die-striking used for modern American numismatics.
