2011-S $1 US Army Silver Commem - BU

Struck to honor the service and sacrifice of America's oldest and largest military branch, the 2011-S U.S. Army Silver Commemorative celebrates the Army's rich heritage and ongoing mission to defend freedom at home and abroad. This Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) version was struck at the San Francisco Mint and features strong relief with a clean satin-style finish, perfect for military and patriotic collectors.

Historical Insight:

Formed on June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army predates the Declaration of Independence and has played a vital role in every American conflict since the Revolutionary War. This commemorative silver dollar was authorized by Congress to honor more than two centuries of service and to raise awareness and support for U.S. Army heritage programs and military families.

Collector Note:

With a low mintage of just 44,243, the 2011-S BU U.S. Army Silver Dollar is one of the scarcer modern military-themed commemoratives. Its patriotic theme, official U.S. Army emblem, and San Francisco Mint origin make it an especially desirable coin for collectors of U.S. military history and low-population silver dollars.
