Due to the coronavirus, I am stuck at home and I cannot access part of my stack, where I have coins I have not posted about before.
So we will continue a series that I published almost two years ago, "The Modern American Silver Commemorative Dollars".
This will be a little different series, because the photos are new (I hope better than the old ones) and the text will be different (of course the basics are the same).
The info below comes mostly from: https://moderncommemoratives.com/
"The United States Modern Commemorative Coin program began in 1982. That year, the US Mint released commemorative half dollar coins to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Since that date, commemorative coins have been issued nearly every year to celebrate famous American people, places, events, and institutions.
Each commemorative coin program is authorized under an Act of Congress. The Act typically specifies the subject to be commemorated, the denomination of coins to be issued, and the maximum authorized mintage for each. Additionally, most commemorative coin programs include surcharges added to the cost of each coin, which will be distributed to specified beneficiary organizations or fund projects that benefit the community."
All coins weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
They will be presented in the order they were minted, but only one of each design. I will alternate the Proofs with the Brilliant Uncirculated.
The fifty fourth is the MS70 2007-P "Jamestown".
"Along with a $5 gold coin, the 2007 Jamestown Silver Dollar was issued to mark the 400th anniversary of the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. Three ships, the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery carried 105 settlers to the New World to establish the first permanent English settlement in what would become America."
PCGS graded 3,639 2007-P "Jamestown", with 1,322 as MS70. 80,000 2007-P "Jamestown" were minted in Philadelphia.
I bought this coin in 2013 for $67.00 and today's price is around $90.00. The issue price was $35.00.
The obverse presents three faces of diversity, to represent the three cultures that came together at Jamestown.
The obverse was designed by Donna Weaver and sculpted by Don Everhart.
The reverse features an image of the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery.
The reverse was designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Charles Vickers.
