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 sixty-ninth is the PR70 DCAM 2015-P "US Marshals Service".
"The 2015 US Marshals Service Silver Dollar was one of three coins issued to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the nation’s first federal law enforcement agency. The designs for the coin focused on the legendary status of the United States Marshals in America’s cultural landscape.
Pricing for all coins included a surcharge distributable to the U.S. Marshals Museum for the preservation, maintenance, and display of artifacts and documents."
PCGS graded 742 2015-P "US Marshals Service", with 96 as PR70 DCAM. 124,329 2015-P "US Marshals Service" were minted in Philadelphia.
I bought this coin in 2015 for $230.00 and today's price is around $250.00. The issue price was $51.95.
The obverse design of the coin features an image of the US Marshals Service Star with the silhouette of US Marshals riding horses across the lower portion.
The obverse was designed by Richard Masters and engraved by Charles Vickers.
On the reverse is a depiction of a frontier U.S. Marshal leaning against a post and holding a “wanted” poster. This image is intended to represent Marshals as the lawmen of the frontiers, playing an important role in their geographic, political, and cultural history.
The reverse was designed by Frank Morris and engraved by Joseph Menna.
