2010-W $1 Disabled Veterans Silver Commem - BU

Issued to honor the bravery and sacrifice of disabled American service members, the 2010-W Disabled Veterans Silver Dollar pays tribute to the millions of men and women who have returned home with service-connected disabilities. Struck at the West Point Mint, the Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) version features sharp, satin-like finishes and bold design elements that reflect dignity and resilience.

Historical Insight:

This commemorative silver dollar was authorized to support the Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation and the construction of the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial in Washington, D.C. The memorial, completed in 2014, honors all disabled veterans, both living and deceased, and serves as a permanent national tribute to their service and sacrifice.

Collector Note:

The 2010-W BU Disabled Veterans Silver Dollar is a heartfelt issue with lower mintage than the Proof version, making it especially appealing to collectors focused on military, service, or memorial themes. Its compelling imagery and real-world impact elevate it beyond a commemorative; it's a tribute in precious metal.
