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 produced 36.8 million examples, making this ranked 9th of 16 mint variants by mintage, with 9% of production. 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. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $14 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 77% copper, 12% zinc, 1% other over a pure copper core, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #506530.
