2006-P Ben Franklin Scientist $1 Silver Commem Prf (w/Box & COA)
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this modern silver dollar honors the 300th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birth. The coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, minted with a proof finish that highlights its detailed historical imagery. With a mintage of 142,000 pieces, this issue celebrates Franklin's dual legacy as a pioneering scientist and an influential political figure. On the obverse, the design captures Franklin's legendary curiosity as he flies a kite amidst an active electrical storm, seeking to understand the nature of lightning. The reverse shifts to his political contributions, recreating his famous colonial cartoon depicting a segmented snake alongside the phrase 'JOIN, or DIE.' This powerful symbol of early American unity is accompanied by the denomination and the national motto, making the coin a fascinating study of early American history.
