This beautiful Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Silver Proof Dollar commemorates the bicentennial anniversary of Lincoln ’s birth, life and legacy of one of America 's greatest leaders. The nation's 16th President serving from 1861 - 1865, Lincoln demonstrated uncommon courage during the Civil War. Today, his life is commemorated in music, poetry, and sculpture; his words are quoted by poets and politicians and his face appears on coins, currency, and postage stamps. Mountains, cities, highways and schools throughout the country bear his name. This proof coin is extraordinarily brilliant and features sharp relief and a mirror-like background to highlight the images on both sides of the coin. The obverse of this coin features an image of Lincoln . The immortal words Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg — the last 43 of his most famous speech — are inscribed on the reverse of the coin within a laurel wreath. Above the wreath is the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . Under the wreath is a curling banner with Lincoln 's signature incused in the center. On either side of the signature, ONE DOLLAR and E PLURIBUS UNIM are incused in the banner. This item comes in it's own beautiful velvet case right out of the US Mint.
