This is part of the modern Silver Commemorative series released from the United States Mint over the last 23 years and has a denomination of one dollar. In 1986 the United States celebrated the country's history as a nation of immigrants. This is the real coin from the United States Mint and not a fake. Watch out for commemoratives from third party mints. John Mecanti and commemoratives Ellis Island as the "Gateway to America" designed this coin.

The backside of the coin features the motto from Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus," "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".

This coin has a quality (GRADE) rating of 69 out of 70 (This quality (GRADE) rating comes from the Sheldon scale on the theory that a "70" would be worth seventy times as much as a "one"). NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), endorsed by both the ANA (American Numismatic Association) and PNG (Professional Numismatic Guild), guarantees the quality and authenticity of these coins, great protection and peace of mind. Limited numbers of these remain so act now before they are gone.

Collection Includes:

  • Guaranteed US Mint Proof design and production.
  • This coin has a composition of .900 Silver and .100 copper.
  • NGC guarantees the quality and authenticity of each coin.
  • Each coin is individually serial numbered.
  • Comes with the coveted quality of Proof 69 out of 70.
  • Includes a 30-day money back guarantee.

    Coins are an ideal way of expressing ideas or to mark historical events. The United States Congress has been authorizing commemorative coins since the first commemorative half dollar was created in 1892 honoring the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Columbus. Collectors love commemoratives and there's an active market for the all the issues including the modern ones. Putting sets together of the pre-1982 coins is a daunting challenge in that there are 144 pieces in the silver commemorative series alone with 50 different design types. Some commemorative silver half dollars may be worth from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars, depending on the rarity and demand for that type.
