The Presidential $1 Coin Program placed eligible presidents on a rotating obverse while the Statue of Liberty remained on the reverse.
The main sequence ran from 2007 through 2016; a 2020 George H. W. Bush issue followed under separate legislation. Circulation and collector finishes share the catalog.

Four presidential portraits a year
The program followed presidents in order of service, generally issuing four designs each year and requiring a period after a president's death before eligibility.
Date, mint mark, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and IN GOD WE TRUST initially appeared on the edge; later legislation moved IN GOD WE TRUST to the obverse. Broad circulation production ended after 2011.
Obverse, reverse, and the details that identify the type
Confirm the major design, date, and mint mark before studying smaller die differences.
The main portrait and date
Each issue carries a different presidential portrait with the president's name, order, and years of service.
Denomination, subject, and mint mark
Don Everhart's Statue of Liberty design remains constant, making the changing obverse and edge inscriptions the primary identifiers.
