1987-S Constitution $1 Silver Commem Proof (w/Box & COA)
In 1987, the United States marked the bicentennial of its foundational governing document with a special commemorative silver dollar. Minted in San Francisco, this sovereign coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver and honors the historic adoption of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787. The obverse of the coin features a striking visual tribute to the document's creation, displaying a quill pen alongside a sheaf of parchment. Prominently inscribed across this design are the famous opening words, "WE THE PEOPLE," alongside the word "LIBERTY" and the commemorative year of 1987. It serves as a direct nod to the act of drafting the supreme law of the land. On the reverse, the coin portrays a diverse cross-section of Americans from different eras, illustrating the varied lifestyles and generations protected under the Constitution over two centuries. The inscriptions on this side include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the face value of "ONE DOLLAR," cementing its status as an official piece of United States coinage history.
