2006-P Ben Franklin Founding Father $1 Silver Commem Prf (w/Box)
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 2006, this silver proof dollar marks three centuries since the birth of Benjamin Franklin in 1706. Authorized under federal legislation specifically passed to commemorate this milestone, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, minted with a total production of 142,000 pieces. The obverse of the coin displays a detailed portrait of an older Benjamin Franklin. His likeness is accompanied by the inscriptions BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the dual dates 1706 and 2006, which frame his life and legacy. The Philadelphia mint mark P is also clearly visible on this side. On the reverse, the coin features a reproduction of the famous 1776 Continental Currency dollar. This design includes the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR, alongside the historic phrases MIND YOUR BUSINESS and E PLURIBUS UNUM, connecting the modern commemorative directly to the coinage of the revolutionary era.
