Description

Part of the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series, the 2011 (P) Presidential Dollar - Ulysses S. Grant, Position A is a dollar from the Philadelphia Mint. The U.S. Mint struck 38.1 million 2011 (P) Ulysses S. Grant dollars in all, Position A and Position B edges together; how the total divides between the two is not recorded. 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. 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 #506516.
