2009 Lincoln Silver Dollar Proof

Product Description

In honor of the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth the U.S. Mint presents this magnificent commemorative issue. The compelling portrait, showing his great fortitude, was inspired by the sculpture inside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. These enduring words from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address are engraved on the reverse, "We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Please note that our modern commemoratives are not always available in the original mint packaging.
