There are silver coins and there are silver rounds and bars.

In my last silver stacking article, I featured the three Statue of Liberty Centennial Commemorative Round.

To commemorate the alliance of France and the United States during the American Revolution and to honor the accomplishments of Abraham Lincoln, the French people built and gifted the United States.
The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World
to represent the belief that
people had natural rights to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
and the hope that
democracy would prevail and that
freedom and justice for all would be attained.
Both the goverments of France and the United States minted commemorative legal tender coins to celebrate the 1886 - 1986 centennial 100th anniversary of The Satute of Liberty.

❝ The 1986 Statue of Liberty Silver Dollar was issued along with a copper nickel clad half dollar and $5 gold coin to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty.

The commemorative program of “United States Liberty Coins” was the most successful to date, with more than 7 million silver dollars and 7 million half dollars sold, and a complete sell out of the maximum mintage established for the gold coins. The $78 million in surcharges raised from the program was used to fund the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and the celebration of its centennial. ❞

Beautiful! Classic liberty all the way!!!

I know, right?! I love the Statue of Liberty in any coin, round or bar, as much as I love depictions of Lady Liberty, Native American Indians, Buffalos, and American Gold Prospector! I like these and think that they are the most classic of silver designs. Thanks for stopping by, my friend! Take care.

Nice piece! I have a Statue of Liberty on my fireplace mantel. Will share one day!

Just gave away my last one Saver...🌹

You are way generous to give your last one! Some coins are really special. The price attached to the coins does not represent the real value of the coin, it is sometimes more the result of supply and demand. And there is so much hype created in many coins (and rounds and bars). For me, I think that the Liberty Coins being centennial commemoratives are special! Thanks for being FIRST to comment on this article, my friend. I appreciate you. Have a great day!
