in #steemsilvergold5 years ago (edited)

Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 1997 "Officers" graded by PCGS PR70 DCAM.

All coins of this series 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.

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Silver Dollar was issued on the sixth anniversary of the dedication of the memorial, which honors more than 14,000 men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty.

The obverse of the coin depicts two Park police officers making a rubbing of a fallen officer’s name.

The reverse of the coin features a shield with a rose across it to represent the sacrifices made by the officers.

To Serve and Protect, a very beautiful motto.

To live and to die for the others. That is sacrifice.
