My bestie, silverd510, started a tag which he called #twelvedaysofchristmas, a sort of a Santa’s wish list for stackers. You can read more about this tag and the rules to join in here .

Like him and those who want to join in on this fun article series, I shall be posting a bar, round or coin a day [for 12 days] that I would love to get as a gift.

For my 12 Days of Christmas Day 1, I wish to be gifted the US Silver Dollar pictured below!

2007 US Jamestown 400th Anniversary Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar

Those who know me may immediately guess why I want this particular US Silver Dollar.

And if not the PROOF Silver Dollar coin, then I'll gladly settle for the

2007 Jamestown Commemorative Silver Dollar BU

The 2007 Jamestown 400th Anniversary Commemorative Silver Dollar was struck in accordance with legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President on August 6, 2004, as Public Law 108-289. This coin was produced by the Department of the Treasury, United States Mint to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in America.

The obverse (heads side) design of the 2007 Jamestown Silver Dollar features Three Faces of Diversity, representing the three cultures that came together at Jamestown.

The reverse (tails) design is a depiction of the three ships which brought the first English settlers to Jamestown in 1607.

About the three ships...[and the reason I like this US Silver Dollar is because it is a vessel coin]

The Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery – England. Discovery: c. 1602 – sometime after 1611; Godspeed: c. 1606 – unknown; Susan Constant: before 1606 – after 1615

The Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery are the most enigmatic ships on our list. Not because of their notable journey or any mystery surrounding the landing at Jamestown, but enigmatic because there’s no hard evidence that pinpoints what happened to them long after that. It’s as if these three British ships disappeared into the mist of history.

Susan Constant was the largest of the three ships. She carried 105 male colonists to Jamestown. The ship was captained by Christopher Newport (1561-1617), a privateer who earned a living in his pre-expedition days by raiding Spanish ships in the Caribbean. According to legend, he captured and transported back to England two crocodiles for King James I.

These ships marked the release of two commemorative coins celebrating the 2007 Jamestown dollar and five-dollar gold coins.

The Jamestown dollar was designed by Donna Weaver and rendered by Don Everhart. The coin features a trio of figures; central is a likeness of Captain John Smith adapted from Simon de Passe’s 18th-century portrait. The other two represent a member of the Powhatan tribe and possibly an African woman. The first Africans did not arrive at Jamestown until 1619 when a Dutch ship brought them to trade as servants for supplies[7]. The coin’s inscription, rendered in incuse lettering, reads FOUNDING JAMESTOWN.

The reverse features the best interpretation of the ships on U.S. coinage. This design was drawn by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Charles Vickers. The ships are to scale and realistically detailed.

On John Mercanti’s gold five-dollar obverse, a ship (most likely Susan Constant) is seen in the distance, filling the space between John Smith and a Powhatan Indian.
