Struck to honor the 200th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, the 1987-P $1 Constitution Silver Commemorative celebrates one of the most foundational documents in American history. Minted at the Philadelphia Mint in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, this 90% silver coin features strong detail, full mint luster, and patriotic symbolism. Issued as part of a two-coin program (alongside a gold $5 piece), this silver dollar reflects the enduring importance of liberty, governance, and national unity.
