United States Thomas Jefferson Presidential $1 Coin

This is a United States one-dollar coin featuring Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. Produced by the United States Mint, this coin is part of the Presidential $1 Coin Program. Physically, the coin is composed of a manganese-brass alloy over a pure copper core, giving it a distinctive golden hue. It measures 26.5 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness. The obverse side shows a portrait of Jefferson with the inscriptions 'THOMAS JEFFERSON', 'PRESIDENT', and his years in office '1801-1809'. This particular specimen was minted in 2007. The strike quality appears standard for circulation, though it shows significant surface wear. Notable condition issues include numerous small scratches (bag marks) across the face of the portrait and some moderate rim dings visible on the upper left and lower edges. There is also a noticeable fingerprint or organic oil smudge on the lower right quadrant, which has begun to affect the luster. The coin exhibits a duller patina consistent with light circulation rather than a mint-to-proof state. Unlike traditional American coinage, this series features edge-incused lettering for the year, mint mark, and national mottos, though these are not visible from the top-down perspective.
