U.S. 2009 “Abraham Lincoln” Silver Dollar Proof
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: “…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.” from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
