2009 Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar

2009 Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar

This beautiful commemorative coin was issued for the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.  Unfortunately, due to his extreme popularity as our sixteenth President  of the United States, far fewer were minted than The Mint had estimated would sell, or possibly they ran out of silver.  This appears to have happened when they recently announced they would not produce a 2009 American Eagle coin.  This is very unfortunate since the Silver Eagle has turned out to be the most popular annual collector's coin in history I believe.

Lincoln's Presidency was more difficult than any other.  Trying to reunite the country and the huge loss of life during the Civil War were two of the insurmountable barriers he had to deal with.  His success in these efforts were sure to make him the greatest president in U.S.History.

Please have a look at the photos.  The coin photographed is the exact coin you will receive if you win this auction.  Lincoln's likeness on the obverse and the final words of the Gettysburg Address on the reverse make this a wonderfully simple coin of extreme beauty.  The presentation case and certificate of authenticity, along with the outer protective packaging are included in this auction. 

This coin is returnable if you are not satisfied with it.

Free insured shipping is included in this offering.

Whether you are a collector or not, everyone should own this coin.

Thank you for your time.
