  U.S. 1986 "Statue of Liberty" Silver Dollar Proof
Celebrate America with one of our most enduring symbols of freedom --
On July 4th of 1986 the extensively restored Statue of Liberty was reopened to the public as part of the tremendous celebration of the monument's centennial. Issued in that same year, this coin has become America's most popular silver dollar commemorative. The gorgeous obverse displays a frontal view of Lady Liberty with the Ellis Island Immigration Center ("Gateway to America") in the background. The Torch of Liberty reverse quotes the opening of the Statue's famous inscription by Emma Lazarus, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." The superb proof presents deep-struck frosted engravings and mirror backgrounds.
