This handsome commemorative honored black Revolutionary War patriots on the 275th anniversary of Crispus Attucks’ birth. Attucks was the first patriot killed in 1770 in the Boston Massacre. The reverse highlights a detail from the proposed Black Patriots Memorial, which may be built on the National Mall at the site of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. Its mintage is the lowest for a U.S. silver dollar proof in the modern commemorative series. Just 75,070 of these issues were minted in this finest-quality proof form.
