    Commemorative Silver Dollars from JM Bullion

    In addition to producing a wide range of circulating silver and gold coins since 1792, the United States Mint has released a wide range of commemorative silver dollars for collectors to purchase. In the United States, commemorative coin production dates to 1848 and has two distinct eras of production that run from 1848 to 1954, with a resumed commemorative coining starting in 1982. Since that time, commemorative silver dollars remain in production and increase in variety with each passing year. To learn more about commemorative dollars in the US, please keep reading the passages below.

    Initial Commemorative Coins from the US Mint

    In 1848, the United States Mint issued the first coin that would go down in history as a commemorative release. The existing US Quarter Eagle, a $2.50 circulation gold piece, was issued in 1848 with a “CAL” mark above the eagle on the reverse of the coins. The inclusion of the “CAL” strike was to mark the start of the California Gold Rush, an event that would flood the coffers of the Treasury Department with gold in the years to come. In the decades to follow, the US Mint would issue a variety of additional commemorative coins to include the 1892 Columbian Half Dollar, the 1915 Panama-Pacific $50 coin, and the 1926 US Sesquicentennial Half Dollar.

    By the 1930s, the US Mint’s commemorative coin programs became a target of criticism for the questionable design choices and continued production of various designs multiple times. For example, an Oregon Trail Memorial Half Dollar was minted eight times in a 14-year span. Amid mounting scrutiny of US commemorative dollars and other coins, President Dwight D. Eisenhower put an end to commemorative coining with the release of the 1954 Carver-Washington Half Dollar.

    Modern Commemoratives

    The United States Mint resumed coining commemorative dollars and other denominations in silver and gold in 1982. In fitting style, the US Mint resumed commemorative coining with a 1982 George Washington 250th Anniversary Half Dollar marking the 250th birthday of the nation’s first president. Within a year, the US Mint would begin releasing commemorative silver dollars and continue to do so with increasing creativity and craft in the decades to come.

    Many of the original commemoratives to come from this early-modern era marked important anniversary moments in American history or current events. The following is a brief list of uncirculated and proof coins offered by the US Mint during this period:

    • 1983/1984 Olympic Coins – issued to celebrate the Summer Olympics hosted in Los Angeles in 1984.
    • 1986 Statue of Liberty – celebrates the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Statue of Liberty.
    • 1987 U.S. Constitution – marks the 200th anniversary of the creation of the United States Constitution.
    • 1990 Eisenhower Centennial – issued in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of former General and President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

    Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, the US Mint would continue to issue commemorative silver dollars with images honoring such events as Jackie Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier, a 1,000th-anniversary coin honoring Leif Ericson’s voyage to the New World, and the 1996 and 2002 Olympic Games hosted by American cities.

    Commemorative Silver Dollars – 2001 and beyond

    One of the most popular and valuable commemorative silver dollar issued by the United States Mint since it resumed coining collectibles in 1982 was the 2001 American Buffalo. The coin replicated the visuals created by James Earle Fraser in 1913 for the US nickel. Known as the Buffalo Nickel, the coin introduced a right-profile bust of a stoic indigenous figure on the obverse with an American bison on the reverse.

    The next major commemorative silver dollar series from the US Mint was the Presidential dollar series, a collection honoring the deceased Presidents of the United States of America. Introduced in 2007, the series started with President George Washington and marched through the history of the Oval Office in order until the modern era. The collection halted in 2016 after the last eligible president, Ronald Reagan, was featured on the obverse of the coins.

    More recently, the US Mint has returned to commemorating major moments in American history on broad and diverse commemorative releases. These designs are often split across 1 oz silver dollar commemoratives, proof silver dollars, and gold coins. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following collections:

    • 2019 Apollo 11 – this stunning release is a domed commemorative silver dollar from the US Mint that marked the 50th anniversary of NASA’s triumphal landing on the surface of the Moon. The coins have a sunken reverse field with an astronaut footprint in the lunar surface. The reverse field is convex, or domed, and features a replica of Buzz Aldrin’s famous photograph from the Moon capturing the Eagle lunar lander, the American flag, and Neil Armstrong in the reflection on his visor.
    • 2019 American Legion – another 2019 release marking an important anniversary was the American Legion coin. In the months after the conclusion of World War I, American Expeditionary Forces stationed in Paris, France, formed a group known as the American Legion that would go on to advocate for American service members returning from the Great War. The American Legion continues to fulfill that role to this day. The designs included the joint flags of the United States and American Legion on the obverse and the seal of the American Legion on the reverse.
