United States Presidential One Dollar Coin (Andrew Jackson)

This is a United States Presidential $1 Coin featuring the 7th President, Andrew Jackson. The coin is circular and displays a golden hue, though it is not made of real gold; it is composed of a manganese-brass alloy over a pure copper core. The obverse side (shown) features a detailed portrait of Andrew Jackson with his name inscribed along the top border and the text '7TH PRESIDENT 1829-1837' along the bottom. The edge of these coins typically features incuse inscriptions of the year, mint mark, and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. In terms of condition, the coin shows signs of circulation including minor surface scratches, light oxidation/tarnishing consistent with handling, and a softening of the highest points of the relief. The strike appears standard for business-strike circulation coins. This specific coin was first released by the U.S. Mint in 2008 as part of the Presidential $1 Coin Program, which ran from 2007 to 2016. The craftsmanship is of a standard industrial mint quality intended for use in commerce, though these coins are often collected in larger sets.
