Quick answers
- Is the 2011-D Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar rare?
- Not by date: 37 million were struck. A sharp uncirculated coin or a known variety is what makes one special.
- Is the 2011-D Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar silver?
- No. It's manganese brass (88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel). Circulating silver dollars ended with the 1935 Peace dollar. Some Eisenhower dollars with an S mint mark were made in 40% silver for collectors, but circulation Ike dollars are copper-nickel clad.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2011 Presidential Dollar?
- On the edge, incused along with the date and mottos. On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2011-D Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar coins were made?
- 37,100,000.
What to check on your 2011-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2011-P (36 million made).
- Judge the grade under good light. Check the high points of each portrait and the edge lettering, which should be complete and evenly spaced.
With 37 million made, the 2011-D still turns up in everyday change. Keep yours only if it looks uncirculated or shows a variety; otherwise it's worth face value.
The story of the 2011-D Andrew Johnson
Denver made 37,100,000 of the Andrew Johnson presidential dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2011 it was the second smallest Denver run, between Rutherford B. Hayes (37 million) and James A. Garfield (37 million).
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (36 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 25th of 40 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is George H. W. Bush at 1.5 million.
The motto moves and the stockpile grows (2009 to 2011)
From 2009 IN GOD WE TRUST moved off the edge and onto the obverse, while the date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM stayed on the edge. Mintages fell steadily as the coins kept piling up unused.
By 2011 the Federal Reserve held well over a billion dollar coins it could not circulate. At the end of that year the Treasury stopped making Presidential dollars for circulation, so the coins of 2011 were the last made in large numbers.
How to recognize it
The Andrew Johnson design
On the death of Abraham Lincoln in April 1865, Vice President Andrew Johnson became the 17th president and served until 1869. A Tennessean, he had been the only senator from a seceding state to keep his seat in the Senate. His administration purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867. The House of Representatives impeached him in 1868, but the Senate acquitted him by a single vote. He later returned to the Senate in 1875.
The Presidential Dollar design
The obverse shows a president with his name and the order and years of his time in office. The reverse shows the Statue of Liberty with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM are lettered on the edge, along with IN GOD WE TRUST on coins struck before 2009, so check the edge for the mint mark.
