Description

The 2011 (S) Proof Presidential Dollar - James Garfield is a proof dollar struck at the San Francisco Mint, part of the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 2.0 million examples. The obverse features a portrait of James A. Garfield, 20th President (1881), with full beard, while the reverse displays the Statue of Liberty, inscribed with the dollar sign ($) to represent commerce and the nation's global presence. 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. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. 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 #505218.
