In 1982, the U.S. Mint began issuing special, non-currency coins to commemorate important American people, places, and groups. The coins, which are authorized by acts of Congress, often take the form of silver dollars, and only a limited number are produced.
Part of the coin's sale price goes to support the cause that's being honored, so commemorative silver dollars also help preserve national monuments and fund national museums. More than $418,000,000 has been raised through the program since it began.
For 2010, the U.S. Mint issued two commemorative silver dollars - one celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, and one honoring the American Veterans Disabled for Life (AVDL).
The AVDL silver dollar was authorized by Congress in July, 2008 and released in February, 2010.
Only 350,000 of the coins are being produced. Both proof and uncirculated coins are being struck at the West Point mint. They weigh 26.73 grams, and they're 90% silver and 10% copper
The obverse or heads side of the coin was designed by Don Everhart, one of the mint's sculptor-engravors. It shows three soldiers from the knees down, and one of them has only one leg. Inscriptions on the obverse include THEY STOOD UP FOR US, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST with the year 2010.
The reverse or tails side was designed by Thomas Cleveland, a master designer. It features a wreath of oak branches entwined with ribbons. The branches symbolize the strength of the veterans and the flower at the base is a forget-me-not. The inscriptions on this side read TAKE THIS MOMENT TO HONOR OUR DISABLED DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM, ONE DOLLAR, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The surcharge for these will go toward a memorial to be built in Washington, DC.
They'll be sold by the U.S. Mint until they run out. The price for the uncirculated version is $35.95 and the proof version is $43.95.
Few subjects have deserved this honor more than America's disabled veterans, and the design of this coin is a poignant reminder of their sacrifice.
Some of the previous U.S. commemorative silver dollars have been pretty good investments, especially the 2001 Buffalo Silver Dollar. Some proof versions of that coin sell for more than ten times the original price.

Hollow Spy Coins $24.99 These days spy tools have all gone high tech... don't get us wrong, it's pretty cool to packet sniff someone's network to ferret out secrets, but it just doesn't have the same spy flavor as using a tiny camera to take covert photos for later conversion to microfilm. That's why we love these retro style Hollow Spy Coins. Each coin is precision hand milled to create a secret compartment inside. Once closed, it's virtually impossible to distinguish these spy coins from a regular coin. Store your secrets then pass it off to your undercover contact as pocket change... no one will be the wiser. The half dollar is even capable of storing a micro SD card. Just think, gigs of data in a coin... 007 would be so jealous. |
