Description

The 2011 (D) Presidential Dollar - Ulysses S. Grant, Position A is a dollar minted at the Denver Mint, within the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series. Denver struck 37,940,000 Grant dollars in all, across both edge-lettering positions. Which way up the edge lettering ran was left to chance, and no one, the Mint included, has counted how many are Position A. 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 eighteenth President (1869–1877), Ulysses S. Grant was the commanding general who led Union forces to victory in the Civil War before serving two terms focused on Reconstruction and civil rights. His presidential term saw the establishment of the first national park, Yellowstone, in 1872. 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 #506517.
