2005-P Marine Corps 230th Anniv $1 Silver Commem MS-69 NGC
This silver dollar, minted in 2005 at the Philadelphia facility, stands as a dual tribute. It marks both the 230th year since the establishment of the United States Marine Corps and the 60th anniversary of the historic flag raising atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. The obverse of the coin displays a detailed rendering of Joe Rosenthal's legendary photograph capturing those moments on Iwo Jima. Inscribed alongside this powerful imagery are the words MARINES, 1775, and 2005, linking the origins of the branch to the modern era. On the reverse, the official emblem of the Marine Corps is showcased, featuring the eagle, globe, and anchor. This side bears the famous motto Semper Fidelis, alongside the traditional inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the face value of ONE DOLLAR. Struck in 90 percent silver, this legal tender coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal.
