About this Product Full Product Name
 
In 2006, the US Mint broke issued a set of two Silver Dollars to honor Benjamin Franklin on the 300th anniversary of his birth. He was one of our greatest scientists and statesmen and revered as one of our original founding fathers. One of the coins depicts Franklin as a Scientist, the other as one of our Founding Fathers.

Silver Dollar displays a rendition of Franklin and his legendary kite experiment on the obverse, while the reverse features a recreation of his political cartoon "Join, or Die" that was published in his Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754.

The Scientist silver dollar was struck in Uncirculated and proof conditions and limited to 200,000 coins in total. It is struck out of .900 fine silver with a net weight of 26.73 grams. This Proof Silver Dollar issue was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Each coin is in their original government packaging.
