Presidential Dollar - Andrew Jackson

Brief Description

The obverse (front) of the coin features a portrait of Andrew Jackson, encircled by his name "ANDREW JACKSON", "7th PRESIDENT", and his years in office "1829-1837". The reverse typically features an image of the Statue of Liberty.

Historical Significance

This coin is part of the Presidential Dollar Coin Program, which honored each deceased U.S. President with a dollar coin. Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States, known for his role in founding the Democratic Party, his opposition to the Second Bank of the United States, and the controversial Indian Removal Act.

Estimated Value

Typically worth its face value ($1 USD) for circulated coins. Uncirculated coins or those with errors (e.g., 'missing edge lettering' varieties) might fetch slightly more, ranging from $1 to $5 USD, depending on condition and grading.

Care Instructions

To preserve its condition, handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an archival-safe holder like a coin flip, slab, or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it, especially if not done professionally.
