Description

The 2011 (D) Presidential Dollar - Rutherford B. Hayes, Position B was struck at the Denver Mint as a dollar in the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series. The U.S. Mint's 36.8 million total for the 2011 (D) Rutherford B. Hayes dollar counts both edge orientations combined, so the number with the Position B edge is unknown. The obverse features rotating portraits of each U.S. president in order of service, released four per year and the reverse displays the Statue of Liberty. The nineteenth President (1877–1881), Rutherford B. Hayes won one of the most disputed elections in American history, decided by a special electoral commission just days before inauguration. He is credited with bringing the first telephone to the White House. Andrew Johnson, Grant, Hayes, and Garfield were released — the final year Presidential Dollars were produced for general circulation. A government audit found over $1 billion in unwanted dollar coins stockpiled in Federal Reserve vaults. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Struck in 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #506530.
