Andrew Johnson had a tough act to follow when he was sworn in as president after Abraham Lincoln's death. Johnson was Lincoln's Vice President for only 6 weeks before Lincoln was assassinated. Lincoln led the country out of the Civil War and Johnson inherited the aftermath. Johnson was very ambitious about restoring the succeeded states to the Union but actively refused to grant federal rights for the thousands of African American slaves that were freed. Due to this oversight, Johnson became the first president to ever be impeached. After he left the White House, Johnson also became the first president to re-join the Senate. Johnson died just months after getting his feet back on the ground. He goes down in history as one of the worst presidents of the US.
Andrew Johnson's portrait, designed by mint engraver, Don Everhart, is found on the obverse of the 2011-D Presidential Dollar. His name and term in office are also engraved on the obverse, encircling his picture. The reverse reveals the prominent Statue of Liberty, as well as the coin's legal tender value of $1. It also cannot be guaranteed that this roll will come in original packaging. With a strong copper core and a beautiful manganese brass finish, the Presidential Dollar series fools any new collector into thinking it is actual gold. It's unique color has been revered since the minting of the Sacagawea Dollar in 2000. The Presidential Dollar series, first minted in 2007, was the first coin series to memorialize the past presidents of the United States of America. The Philadelphia and Denver Mints contribute every year to this brilliant uncirculated series, producing rolls of 25 coins at a time. Since the US Mint wants to honor all of the presidents, it set out to mint 4 different portraits a year.
