United States Presidential One Dollar Coin (Andrew Jackson)

This is a United States Presidential One Dollar Coin featuring the 7th President, Andrew Jackson. The coin is part of the Presidential Dollar Coin Program and was minted in 2008. Physically, it measures 26.5 mm in diameter and is composed of a manganese-brass alloy over a pure copper core, giving it a distinct golden-golden appearance rather than the silver color of standard quarters or dimes. The obverse depicts a forward-facing portrait of Andrew Jackson with his name inscribed above his head and the phrases '7TH PRESIDENT' and '1829-1837' (his years in office) inscribed below. The motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is also visible along the lower left edge. The coin shows significant signs of environmental damage and poor storage conditions, characterized by heavy green verdigris (corrosion) on the left side and around the portrait details, along with widespread surface darkening and a dull, uneven patina. The high points of the hair and facial features show moderate circulation wear. This specific coin type features edge-incused lettering for the year, mint mark, and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' which are not visible in this frontal view. The general craftsmanship is typical of high-volume modern US circulation strikes, though its current condition is graded as heavily circulated and environmentally damaged.
