In 1783, after nine long years, American patriots defeated the British bringing an end to the Revolutionary War. The victorious Americans most likely bought their flags, fireworks and libations with the most desired currency of the day, Spanish colonial silver dollars of considerable heft and quality. Now, thanks to a recent discovery, you can own that very coin-the 1783 Silver Dollar of the American Revolution! Our Founding Fathers recognized that the Spanish Silver Dollar was the most desired coin in colonial America. Jefferson recommended the Continental Congress adopt it as our nation's first monetary standard of value.

The Continental Congress agreed. Perhaps most importantly, each of these coins bears the prized 1783 date-the year General George Washington won the Revolutionary War against the British and earned our nation's freedom! Each of these silver dollars weighs 27 grams of .903 fine silver. With the price of silver soaring past near $20 per ounce, the silver value alone is an important consideration. You will receive your coin mounted in a handsome full color panel and housed in a protective acrylic case. The panel describes the fascinating story of this classic American Silver Dollar, together with a Certificate of Authenticity.
