Thomas Jefferson Presidential $1 Coin

This is a United States Presidential $1 Coin featuring the likeness of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. The coin is part of the Presidential $1 Coin Program launched by the U.S. Mint in 2007. This specific coin was released in 2007. It is composed of a manganese-brass alloy over a pure copper core, giving it a distinct golden color. The obverse side displays a portrait of Thomas Jefferson with the inscriptions 'THOMAS JEFFERSON,' '3rd PRESIDENT,' and '1801-1809' indicating his term in office. A notable feature of this series is the edge-incused lettering, which contains the year of minting, the mint mark (P, D, or S), and the mottos 'E Pluribus Unum' and 'In God We Trust' (though the latter was moved to the obverse in later years of the series). The coin's diameter is 26.5 mm with a thickness of 2 mm and a weight of 8.1 grams. Looking at the condition, the coin appears to be in circulated condition with visible surface wear, minor scratches, and some dulling of the original luster. There is no evidence of significant damage or high-grade preservation, suggesting it has been handled in general commerce. The craftsmanship reflects standard high-volume government minting quality.
